Your Blood Knight sounds almost identical to a character of mine called "Rackman" (as in the torture device). I made that character as a 'redistributer of pain'. He's played variant style where sacrifices are always maintained.
Sacrifice: 20 - He sacrifices of himself to inflict harm on his foes.
Thorns: 20 - He's pretty fair in ensuring that his foes sacrifice themselves to harm him.
Prayer 20 - He sacrifices his Mana to replenish his life.
Equipment:
- Plenty of Life Steal (currently armed with Bloodletter Gladius in Nightmare among other things)
- Vulpine Items are allowed.
- Disdains poison, keeping the poison sources down to a single charm.
- Never uses Life Replenishment.
Tactics:
Basically kill anything that moves. Nothing comes for free with this guy and he never accesses a chest or fallen Rogue etc without having to fight over that bit of territory first to ensure that a sacrifice has been made (If he stands next to a chest and nothing is or was ever within wake up range the chest is ignored). Likewise gold or Shrines in the middle of nowhere with nothing to guard them is left alone. Potions can be used - He sacrifices gold for those, or the sacrifice has already been made in an earlier fight.
Another character of mine that might suit your Blood Knight theme is a Necomancer called "Link". He's another 'redistributer of pain' idea and is basically a melee/missile guy based around a Blood Golem.
Skills:
- BG
- Amp Damage
- Iron Maiden
- Life Tap
A Thorns merc is also appropriate.
