blood hunter is a class only available on D&D Beyond and DMS guild it's written by Matthew Mercer so what the heck is a blood hunter simple it's a guy who decides you know what stabbing bad guys and casting spells at them isn't enough I've got to find my own way but how oh I know I'll become a monster myself and then he drinks all of these I actually have some footage of Talas and Jaffe and Matthew Mercer writing this class together hey Matt good old buddy old pal let's make a class together well sure tell him I just finished up gun slinger and cobalt so monks yeah those are nice but I'm looking for something a little darker well Percy was kind of dark and edgy want something along the lines of that no Matt dorker oh man how dark are you talking I need to be able to slit my wrists in order to deal damage to people I I'll get working on that shadows aren't my friend yeah okay I got it and also werewolves so let's dive into those levels level 1 hunters Bane and Crimson right hunters Bane you drink a nasty potion that you totally know will give you superpowers and gain the ability to track down Fae fiends and I'm dead with advantage but you can only choose one at a time crimson right after chugging expired milk you invoke the blood rights [Applause] you can now deal an extra 1.d4 damage which increases as you level of either fire cold or lightning damage however you deal damage equal to your level to yourself as if you're invoking dark blood magic to ignite your weapon the cool part about this is that it can be any weapon even a boomerang it's time to die second level blood maledicte now that you're scarred sick and bleeding a lot you can take all the blood curses bug curses are much like eldridge invocations from warlocks little mini feats that are special to blood hunters and give you more of a customisation in your blood hunter each blood curse can be amplified amplifying your blood curse makes this curse stronger but damages you further by rolling your crimson right dice and taking damage for it there are eight total blood curses and you get a new one at fifth night 13th 16th and 20th level blood curse of binding you can bind down a creature to stop them from moving you can do this to large creatures if you're a medium size however if you amplify it the size category does not matter meaning that you can bind down the turtle that carries the world and send everyone flying off the planet blood curse of mutual suffering you create a magical link to another creature that creature then takes the chronic damage equal to half the damage that you take at all times amplifying this ability makes the creature take full damage this is great for fighting monsters but it would be hilarious if you did it to a friend blood cursive Breguet ssin you'll become a field doctor and understand how veins work you can make a creature immediately make a saving throw against a poisoned condition afflicting it if you amplify it you can cure blindness deafness and paralyzation blood curse of spells under you can spells right out of the air that target you giving the spell disadvantage amplifying gives the creature a spell save and if they fail they can miss the spell entire blood curse of the eyeless you blot out the eyes of a creature who attacks you giving them disadvantage amplifying it makes it last one more round blood curse of the Fallen puppet
