One amazing warlock would be in the fey pact. In Celtic (?) lore there is the vampiric fey known as the Baobahn Sith, which would be a part of the unseelie court. It's a fey that revels in undeath that often kills dancers to raise them in an eternal dance. So by all accounts, have your vampire overlord be fey, you have to admit the subclass abilities make sense for a vampire.

Whoa, that's amazing!! Unfortunately didn't come across this in my research, but I'm so glad you mentioned it!

So there is a book called Grim Hollow: The Players Guide which has a really cool sangromancy school of magic and a tonne of subclasses based around it so I would really recommend it

I'm homebrewing a whole expanded spell lists readily available only for Blood Magic wizards. That's the thing I feel like is lacking from the Tal Dorei Reborn book. Blood and blood magic is very important in real life religion practices and witchcraft as well. It's the balance of life and death and it can be such a good flavour for fantasy settings

I was hoping that the Blood Hunter would've been added in the Tal Dorei Reborn book and finally be published content in physical form.

Been watching Attack on Titan again and I can't believe I didn't see the Rune Knight concept character. Thanks for the spark..

Well hell this year old video got me I'm subscribing. I really like the way he goes into these classes it pretty close to my style of things.

I played in an after school teacher only dnd game, set up so we were all from various cultures in ancient history ( I got greek) so I made a rogue/ Oath of open sea/ lore bard who was the champion of Zagreus who was looking for ancient knowledge and lore on what the gods are... long story short blood paladins are fun and flavourful especially when you look at rebirth and rebellious nature that the build offers

I’m making a blood magic necromancer villan for our next campaign. Our next campaign is themed around ash vs the evil dead. One of the monsters he/she can summon is a blood hand that can grapple characters from any puddle of blood. It’s probably going to be a trap monster.

I've been working for over a year new on a homebrew blood magic sourcebook because the lack of blood magic in 5e sucks. But some of the subclasses included are the Bloodsmith Artificer, Path of Mutation Barbarian, Circle of Ichor Druid, Sanguine Knight Fighter, Way of the Open Vein Monk, Oath of Sacrifice Paladin, Shadowhunter Ranger, and Cruor Thief Rogue. Plus two alternate class features - Crimson Sorcery and Eldritch Hemocraft - For Sorcerer and Warlock respectively, that change the way they use their spells and class features.

These are baller character concepts! I didn't realize I liked hemocraft until I watched this video. I need to make a character for a brief 3-4 session adventure... might need to revisit this idea. Btw, did you learn about the blood eagle from Skyrim as I did?

In relation to your ideas on healing spells and druidic spells, it was a common practice in the 17-18th centuries to have a doctor bring in a bird to peck at your wounds. This was believed to draw out bad blood. As well in keeping maggots out of your wounds. So perhaps a Blood Druid could summon a familiar and have them perform something similar in tandem with a blood healing spell.
