Leechmastery is the ability to use Leech-Robes, a magical set of robes that contain extra-dimensional pockets in which leeches can be maintained and magically acquired. Each level a leechmaster can choose to either gain a new leech or enhance a pocket already assigned to a leech. These decisions can not be changed.

Once a leech is attached, it can be removed with a the target's Strength check opposed by the Leechmaster's Constititution.
