Blood Hunter 5e

Strike Points: d10 is standard for front-line baseball courses, and because the Blood Hunter supposes their hit points it is important to have as many hit points as you can. More Information

 Saves: Dexterity saves are important for mitigating damage from spot damage effects, but Intelligence conserves are rare. You’ll also gain the ability to incorporate your Intelligence modifier to your physical saving throws, which will go a very long way to keep you alive.

 The Blood Hunter also gets proficiency with Alchemist’s Supplies, allowing you to craft items like Alchemist’s Fire, along with three abilities from a set of class options. Thanks to the switch from Wisdom to Intelligence in the redesigned version of this course, the ability record makes considerably more sense now.

 Hunter’s Bane: The Blood Hunter 5e is a course that looks for any excuse to track a monster, so Advantage of Wisdom (Survival) checks to track some monsters is useful.

 Blood Maledict: Blood Maledict feels a tiny bit like spellcasting. It’s not spellcasting, but it certainly feels like that. You receive a maximum of four applications per short rest, so once you resort to a Blood Curse it has to be a scenario that actually justifies it rather than throwing it in the very first enemy you visit. Blood Curses notably only affect creatures with blood if you don’t spend hit points to Boost your Blood Curse, so if you encounter elementals, constructs, or some types of undead get prepared to devote some hit points.

 Fighting Style: Fighting Style is a welcome inclusion for any martial character. The Blood Hunter understands all the offensive options, but unlike the Ranger, they have no defensive choices. With only medium armor, the option to take Defensive would be nice, however, the Blood Hunter is apparently overly competitive for things like AC. There is also nothing appealing for the Purchase of the Lycan to utilize while changed, so if you are considering Purchase of the Lycan search for something that you may use as you are not transformed.

 ArcheryPHB: The most obvious choice for ranged builds. +2 to strike is a huge deal in a game where a 20th-level character can expect a max of +11 to hit.

DuelingPHB: Note this works while using a defense. 2 damage closes the damage difference between a longsword and a two-handed weapon (4.5->6.5 vs. 6.5/7).

Good Weapon FightingPHB: This adds an average of just over 1 damage per assault on typical, and even then the only using a greatsword. The Blood Hunter doesn’t get a better option if you’re planning to use two-handed melee weapons. You just get two attacks, and you can employ Crimson Rite to both weapons to get the on-hit damage increase. However, beware of the piling costs of Crimson Rite, also keep in mind that several of the Blood Hunter’s abilities use your Bonus Action so you’ll often need to give up your additional attack to do something else.

Crimson Rite: Crimson Rite adds a scaling damage bonus which does similar harm to Hunter’s Mark or Hex, but prices you hit points instead of spell slots. It’s a crucial part of the Blood Hunter, and several of your other class features will depend on you with Crimson Rite running. If you’re going somewhere that you expect to encounter enemies, draw your weapon, then activate Crimson Rite ahead of time, and do not put your weapon down until you are prepared to break. The result expires when you have a brief or long break, but otherwise, if you don’t drop hold of your weapon you can find a great deal of bonus damage for a fairly minor quantity of damage.

 Additionally, it is interesting to note that the bonus harm is magical, but it does not make attacks with the weapon magic, so monsters which you attack might resist your weapon damage but not the bonus damage from Crimson Rite. The damage bonus scales with level, and it feels really good on top of Extra Attack. The ability is also worded to disadvantage two-weapon threw and fighting weapons, but it works very nicely for Crossbow Expert users. You have to devote extra hit points and an extra Bonus Action to influence additional weapons, so be very cautious about two-weapon fighting assembles.

 Primal Rites: You receive just two of the three Primarily Rites options, so make sure you select options that are effective against as many competitions as possible. Blood Hunters typically face evil creatures like fiends, and that means you want to take options that aren’t commonly resisted by these animals.

Rite of the Flame: Nearly all fiends have immunity to fire damage, and it’s generally resisted by other animals also.

Rite of the Frozen: Many fiends have immunity to cold, but not too many have immunity to fire.

Esoteric Rites: You only get one, and the Rite of the Roar is considerably better compared to other options.

Rite of the Dead: Most things do not withstand necrotic harm, but the things that do resist it are wicked creatures that blood hunters can expect to face.

Rite of this Oracle: Psychic damage is resisted by hardly any creatures, but a lot of undead and constructs are immune to it.

Rite of those Roar: Almost nothing surpasses sonic damage. The only superior option is Force harm.

Extra Attack: A key feature of almost any martial course.

 Brand of Castigation: A small but useful damage boost against large singular foes, especially in the event that you’re able to keep your goal’s attention on yourself. Your Intelligence probably isn’t higher than 16, so the damage bonus will not win conflicts by itself, but against foes, with numerous tiny strikes, it can accumulate fast. Unfortunately, you will want to get hit by attacks to trigger Brand New Castigation, so handle your hit points attentively.

 Grim Psychometry: Create an Intelligence (History) check to inquire the DM about the storyline or when to locate nearby monsters.  More Information
