Perhaps call the ability Necrotic Sap Infusion, although maybe the Kindred themselves refer to it as the "gift of Nidhogg".Then again, I just like the ring of "Gift of Nidhogg" better.Here's a fleshed out version:Gift of Nidhogg. The sap that pine kindred use for blood contains a necrotic venom the kindred call Sap of Nidhogg whose outre energy can be used in various necromantic practices. A pine kindred thane contains Sap of Nidhogg represented by [four?] doses of this gift. A pine kindred thane can touch a target and infuse their circulation with Sap of Nidhogg drawn from the thane's own veins. A thane can spend up to two doses when it uses Gift of Nidhogg. It can touch two targets and infuse each with a single dose or infuse a one target with a double dose. The thane takes 1d6 damage per dose. If the target is an undead, it regains 1d8 + 2 hit points per dose. If the target is a living creature, it takes 1d10 necrotic damage per dose plus 1d10 poison damage per dose. The thane can also use Gift of Nidhogg to assist a pine kindred jarl when it uses Initiate Pine Kindred.I'm also thinking of adding a Rough Draft of a Description to the base Pine Kindred, but I'll see how my time & inclination goes.  Might not happen for a while.</blockquote>
