To provide for more intriguing rewards, the rules for potions obtained from a vanquished mutant blood hunter may alter from those in the class feature. To be effected by such a potion, a creature must be a humanoid of Small or Medium size. The creature gains from the effects while also suffering from the adverse effects. The effects and side effects are nonmagical and endure for one minute. Given one hour of study and a successful DC 20 Intelligence (Alchemist's Tools) or Intelligence (Medicine) check, a creature may learn the effects and side effects of such a potion. Allies battling with the mutant blood hunter may also be affected by some of the mutations.
Exposure's Blood Curse
When a creature within 30 feet of you suffers damage from an attack or spell, you may use your reaction to briefly weaken its defenses. It loses resistance to all damage types delivered by the triggering attack or spell until the end of the target's next turn (including for that triggering effect).

In terms of fluff, I want to play him similarly to a vengeance paladin, although much more ready to do more... dubious things in his mission to eliminate other lycans. My adjusted metrics will look like this.
Strikes of Predation You may use your Crimson Rite ability on unarmed strikes, which you regard as a single weapon. You may use Dexterity instead of Strength for your unarmed strikes' attack and damage rolls, which inflict 1d6 bludgeoning or slashing damage (your choice). At 11th level, its damage rises to 1d8. In addition, if you use the Attack action to perform an unarmed strike, you may make one more unarmed strike as a bonus action.

PS: Because he fights with a Rapier, he possesses the duelist combat style. He used to have a fantastic family rapier that was a combination of the Dancing sword and the staff of lightning as an NPC in my campaign, but I no longer have it. At the very least, my DM allowed me to choose two uncommon things and one rare item.
JakOfAllTirades first posted this. Originally submitted by I'm also now playing a level 6 TWF Blood Hunter. It's critical to exercise caution while using the Rite on your off-hand blade. At 5th level and higher, your primary weapon is receiving two attacks every round, so your off-hand Rite is only doing half as much anyway; the additional DPR isn't always worth it. In my instance, I'm a Ghost Slayer, thus if we're battling undead (in Curse of Strahd), I'll utilize Rite of the Dawn. Then I'll apply my WIS mod on all Rite damage, and it'll be worth the extra risk. Three attacks worth 2d6+7 each every round (I don't have rapiers yet) is likely to knock adversaries out before they knock me out. My party is completed with a Vengeance Paladin, a Barbarian, and a Moon Druid. I have to Rite both weapons at times simply to keep up with them!
Whether you're a tank or an archer, you may use magic and melee to become the most powerful Blood Hunter in Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition.
Because of the great worldbuilding and players, Critical Role is the most-watched Dungeons & Dragons live broadcast, drawing thousands of new fans into the world of D&D. The Dungeon Master, Matthew Mercer, is a fantastic DM and storyteller, so much so that he provided official D&D literature, including the Explorer's Guide to Wildemount. The Blood Hunter class was another addition he introduced to the game. While not technically core D&D material, the class is popular among fans of the show and those who like combining combat and magic.
Bloodsucker
A half-orc, scarred but determined, his grimacing visage drenched with perspiration, reddens a finger over his wounds to trace a flaming, ruby pattern in the air. He twists the weightless, finished symbol, releasing black magical forces that blast forth, cursing the stalking giant from inside its own veins to level the odds.
Dnd Blood Hunter Lycan Multiclass
What is your connection with the powers of hemocraft and the skills it promises to bestow as you go toward mastery? Do you revere and dread the ancient power that flows through your veins, only utilizing it when necessary? Do you like the power it provides you, embracing your talents and putting them to good use? Are you concerned that the beliefs are correct and that this power would ultimately transform you into one of the creatures you hunt? Or has your education instilled in you the confident command of thought over matter, convinced that you can use these abilities to deliver a better dawn? Consider that, although a blood hunter is a member of an order, many of them set out on their own to accomplish their finest job. What compelled you to abandon the security of your order? Do you plan to return, or have you decided that there is more to learn in the world beyond? What qualities do you look for in other explorers that can help you achieve your goals?
Order of the Lycan: Blood Hunter
The ancient curse of lycanthropy, handed down via blood and seeding a host with the ferocious power and thirst for violence of a cruel beast, is dreaded by practically all peoples and civilizations. The Order of the Lycan is a proud order of blood hunters who undergo the Taming, a ceremonial instillation of lycanthropy by a senior member of the order, for those who do not already bear the curse before embarking on this road. These hunters then utilize their blood magic to control the power of the monster they are harboring without succumbing to it. Members of the Order of the Lycan learn to control and release their hybrid forms for brief periods of time via intense will and secret blood magic rituals. These warriors' enhanced physical prowess, extraordinary resilience, and razor-sharp claws make them a terrifying opponent to any evil that crosses their way. However, no training is flawless, and without care and total attention, even the most skilled blood hunters may succumb to their own hunger.
Tamaska Araleth is a youthful Wood Elf of 120 years old. Her complexion is copper, her hair is silky brown, and her eyes are vivid green. She is 54 years old and weighs 110 pounds. She is a protector, kind, and always willing to assist a stranger in need. However, if she is intimidated, upset, or loses her temper, she has a vicious temperament that will be shown. Tamaska and her mother, Rudina Araleth, have spent decades living outside of a tiny human hamlet. Rudina is a member of a specific order of combat-oriented guardians who have voluntarily embraced the Lycanthropic curse. The Order of the Lycan are Blood Hunters that specialize in Hemocraft and can control their transformation into a Werewolf hybrid. This organization has promised to protect people who are unable to defend themselves against the fiends, fey, and other horrors that lurk in the woods. The Lycan Order currently has just 11 members, one of them being Tamaska's mother, Rudina.
If you reach Blood Hunter level three and choose this subclass, you will be able to apply your Rites to your Unarmed Strikes. The phrasing is quite close to the Monk's own Martial Arts feature, which leads me to assume that your DM may find this acceptable owing to the resemblance of the skills, or may argue that they cannot stack due to the similarity of the abilities as well. Check with your DM as usual, but based on the language of the abilities, this seems to be the easiest method to catch the combination without having to fight semantics or go too far into the Rules As Written.
D&D Blood Hunter Lycanthrope
At 3rd level, you may spend 5 minutes using a mess kit on the body of a Small or bigger humanoid or beast that died during the last hour. You may consume a large amount of its blood, which restores a quantity of health points equal to twice your Ranger level. This can only be done once per body. Furthermore, at the conclusion of each round, you may recover a number of hit points equal to one-third of all piercing and slashing damage (rounded down) you dealt during your turn. This damage must have been inflicted with melee attacks within 5 feet of the target. You cannot regain hit points by assaulting constructs or the undead in this manner.
I hope you found my Blood Hunter class guide useful! More information on Blood Hunters may be found on the D&D Beyond website.

Hello there, intrepid explorers! Today we'll be creating a character for Matt Mercer's Blood Hunter Character Class for 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. This will be the NEW, Updated 2020 edition, which has made substantial adjustments to the original. I've done a lot of study on the Blood Hunter, and I hope you appreciate the character we'll be creating today. If you've ever wanted to play a D&D werewolf, this is the character for you! Tamaska Araleth is someone I'd like to introduce to you. She is a kind, good-hearted Wood Elf who is concerned with the greater good. However, as evil continues to infiltrate her territory, she has embraced the blood of Lycanthropy to aid in the protection of her nation and those who are unable to defend themselves. So beware, nasty guys: this elf has a temper that you do not want to incite!
