This is one of my favorite character concepts lmao. Reminds me of that dnd story I once read where the seemingly edgelord rogue who was sitting in a corner with his hood up, brooding and twirling his knife, turned out to be as sweet and innocent as they come. But the catch was that he had severe social anxiety, thus the hood, corner and general mood. The knife was a gift from someone, maybe his mom, I think they were still alive aswell, and she had wanted him to just be safe out there. The twirling was in reality just him awkwardly fidgeting with it since that is what hands tend to do when you're nervous. I LIVE for stories like this.

I’m surprised there was no Vampire related Bloodhunter Order Edit: Actually, a neat way to make this happen is by this- Vampires need to feed on blood in order to keep them sustained and at full power. So, this archetype would make you sacrifice your own blood to temporarily give yourself vampiric abilities, like how a Vampire draws on the blood of others to empower their own abilities. This could mean taking some damage to turn into mist or a bat, or offering your blood to a beast in order to control them, and of course the classic “hurting someone else to heal you” ability. That could be interesting to use. The whole theme of Bloodhunters is “fighting the monster by becoming the monster”, so a vampire hunter with some minor vampiric abilities could work real well.

Finally, thank you for making this. I’ve sat down to look into this class but every video about it is 50+ minutes

Playing a Blood Hunter in my game. Order of the Ghost Slayer. And she’s like the most happy go lucky character I’ve ever done.

I've found that order of the mutant is a great way to play a splicer from Bioshock. I'm currently playing a goliath fighter/blood hunter, basically a medieval big daddy

One of the favorite concepts that I have with this class is a Monk/Order of the Lycan Blood Hunter. Since in your Hybrid form you can apply your Crimson Rite to your unarmed strikes, you can deal crazy good damage when combined with Flurry of Blows

And now; “Especially the Witcher” will be the new biggest meme. Let it flow.

3:30 I don’t know whether to be pleased about the reference or mortified about the context

Funny thing, part of my campaign goes into a timeline that is sorta Dark Souls/MtG’s Innistrad inspired, and a group of NPCs is a Lycan Bloodhunter order. Some are your typical edgelords, but others are either new recruits who want to help others, some were cursed with the lycanthropy and joined so they can control it(again to provide aid to others, but also because they like the power it gives them). Then there’s a few that went full beast, perma-hybrid or full beast form at all times that act as scouts, scholars, and occasionally teach or provide aid to the youngest members of the order. They work closely with two churches- That of the afterlife and stars, and that if disease, necromancy, and the Eclipse, so they get steady aid from clerics of both Death and Grave domains.

I love all the little Easter eggs (bezerker lancerlot from the fate series and all the bloodborn talk were my favorite ) good vid , had some laughs

I had done my own research on this class but sometimes it's nice to have a video like this that gives it some character/flair. Definitely more interested in building a blood hunter after this. Love your videos! P.s. "especially the witcher," and "then get killed by Lorenzo" both made me wheeze 😂😂

I love the Warlock, Sorcerer and Blood Hunter class. One thing that you "seem to get wrong" (only in your description) is that as a Profane Soul Blood Hunter you do get access to Eldritch Blast (Without the possibility of using the Eldritch Invocation: Agonizing Blast - Which you are unable to access using the current Unearthed Arcana feat "Eldritch Adept", since it is restricted to the Warlock class specifically). That being said Eldritch Blast is still very powerful and using cantrips like Green-Fire Blade, Booming Blade and Eldritch Blast in conjunction with your level 7 Mystic Frenzy - Blood Hunter Feature your will find yourself having a very versatile way of dealing damage. Playing around with Feats like Aberrant Dragonmark and Wizard Ritual casting you really become quite powerful. Also choose the Undying as your patron, so that you gain more health for you blood curses

Even after so long, "even by Lorenzo" made me have an emotional reaction

I made a interesting condition to go with this: mass bleeding: when the damage type is: piercing, slashing, bludgeoning or force and, a critical hit is rolled, or the damage rolled for that attack was the maximum. The mass bleeding deals 1d8 damage per round until treated with med kit potion or spells, magical items or innate magic abilities will also work.

Suddenly, Vampyr seems like a more viable setting.

Zariel tiefling + profane soul of the fiend + green flame blade + flames of pleletegros + rite of the flame, you and your sword are constantly aflame using hellfire and blood Magic, People who hit you take fire damage and you get to reroll bad damage rolls a lot, especially with great weapon fighting. Starting at 7th level casting green flame blade is much better than extra attack dis to your bonus action attack, it is great

Wonderful!

Youre videos are too addicting...in a good way.

Currently running a blood hunter in my campaign, so far it’s fun being a cutter

You know I feel like there is a similar theme going on with these skills. Something like blood maybe?

I will saw that I some folklore, ghosts do have a sort of yellow-ish blood. Not ectoplasm, but European alchemists bf believed the through distillation of human blood, blood of the spirit could be extracted. (Blood basically broke down during the process and caused it to turn yellow.)

They still get shield proficiencies. Blood Hunter was my first 5e class and I love this new update version.

That's one bad wolf 6:03

3:21 still not over that

shifter lycan bloodhunter multiclass with either path of the beast barbarian or bearbarian is scary

I know Davvy does it as a joke But there are some people out there that seriously extremely dislike Homebrew But really people should just be allowed to flex their creative muscles and even though They might make some stupid overpower stuff. There are those out there that make really good Homebrew. That's a very balanced, fun and interesting.

When youre so torn from your generation that when you look at the blood hunter, edge never crosses your mind until you actually the description. Where it says Edge.

It is known (as far as I know) that the ritual to become a bloodhunter can sometimes claim the life of the one that undertakes it. Mary is (or was, depends on who you ask) one of the people that undertook it and was in turn slain by it. Explosively as a matter of fact. But mama didn't raise no quitter! So she held on to life and clawed her way back and as it turns out, even if the ritual kills you, that doesn't mean it don't still work as intended. And with these new prowess she has taken up the path of hunting undead, what with her now having a.... Uniquely advantageous position to get in the mindset of her chosen quarry. She is. The Ghost Ghostslayer Bloodhunter!

So if you want to be a Hunter from Bloodborne, what’s the best then? The Lycan? Or some other combination of stuff. Really want to find a way to incorporate sword and pistol combat. Or Crossbow I guess. I guess Arcane Hunter would work with that caster version I guess.

Sooooo, like a witcher? But with blood magic? THAT SOUNDS AWESOME!
