Blood Hunter

Ghostslayers are among the oldest of blood hunter orders. They study death and life in order to understand the unholy magic of undeath. Ghostslayers walk the divide to slay those that reside in that divide.

At the start of your turn, you can step into the veil between the planes. For 1 minute, you can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain, as well as see and affect creatures and objects on the Ethereal Plane. You take 1d10 force damage if you end your turn inside an object. If you are inside an object when this feature ends, you are immediately shunted to the nearest unoccupied space and you take force damage equal to twice the number of feet you moved.

You can use this feature twice. You regain one of its expended uses when you finish a Short Rest, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. You gain another use when you reach Blood Hunter level 15.

Whenever you hit a branded creature with a weapon for which you have an active crimson rite, you roll an additional hemocraft die when determining the extra damage from the rite. Additionally, if a branded creature has the Incorporeal Movement trait or a similar feature, it can't move through creatures or objects while branded.

You can expend one use of your Hemocraft to invoke a special blood curse as a Bonus Action. Choose one creature you can see within 30 feet of you that is Charmed, Frightened, or possessed. The target creature is no longer Charmed, Frightened, or possessed.

You learn to protect your fading life by reabsorbing the energy you feed to your weapons. If you have one or more crimson rites active and you are reduced to 0 hit points but don't die outright, you can choose to have all your active crimson rites end and drop to 1 hit point instead.

Lycanthropes are feared around the world, and the Lycans understand this more than anyone. Wielding the blood of the beasts, they strike fear in their foes and rend them without restraint.

The lycanthropy in you strengthens your body, granting you the following benefits.

You continue to progress deeper into the curse's effects, granting you the following benefits.

Your Brand of Castigation can now bind a foe to your hunter's ferocity. While in your hybrid form, you have advantage on attack rolls against a creature branded by you.

You can expend one use of your Hemocraft to invoke a special blood curse as a Magic Action. You unleash a bloodcurdling howl. Each creature in a 30-foot Emanation from you that can hear you must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or become Frightened of you until the end of your next turn. If a creature fails its saving throw by 5 or more, it is Stunned while Frightened in this way. A creature that succeeds on its saving throw is immune to this blood curse for the next 24 hours.

You can choose any number of creatures you can see to be unaffected by the howl.

You can use your Hybrid Transformation feature an unlimited number of times, and your hybrid form lasts until you revert to your normal form, fall unconscious, or die.

Additionally, you have advantage on the saving throw for your Bloodlust.

Martyrs never break the skin when drawing upon their powers. Instead, they inflict psychic pain upon themselves, or take the pain felt by others, in order to turn this suffering into power. This has led to the tell-tale sign of these hunters being the tears that stream down their faces when they draw forth their blood magic.

You are able to siphon the pain someone felt at the moment of their death, gaining it as your own strength. Whenever a creature within 30 feet of you dies, you can use your Reaction to roll the dead creature's Hit Die and gain the number rolled as Temporary Hit Points.

Your particular school of hemocraft allows you to channel the pain of others into yourself to empower your hemomancy. When a creature branded by your Brand of Castigation deals damage to a creature you can see within 30 feet of you, you can use your Reaction to take half of the damage that creature would have taken (rounded down). As part of this same Reaction, you can choose between the following effects, which take place immediately after you take this damage:

You can expend one use of your Hemocraft to invoke a special blood curse. As a Bonus Action, Select a number of creatures within 60 feet of you that you can see equal to Hemocraft Modifier. Those creatures have Resistance to Necrotic damage until the end of your next turn.

You become the epitome of martyrdom. When you reach 0 Hit Points, choose one of the following:

Those of the Order of the Mutant have pushed the boundaries of self-experimentation. Warping their very bodies and minds, Mutants consume alchemical concoctions to adapt to any circumstance, whether it is the battlefield or the ballroom.

Your body adapts to the venoms and toxins injected into your body. You gain Resistance to Poison damage and have advantage on saving throws made against being Poisoned.

Your mutagenic hemocraft lets your Brand of Castigation reveal a foe's true nature. Any illusion or invisibility in effect on a creature when you brand it ends, and the creature can't benefit from invisibility or illusion effects while branded by you. If a creature branded by you is in an alternative form (such as through the Polymorph spell, the Change Shape action, Shapechanger trait, the Wild Shape feature, and similar effects) or it attempts to alter its form, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or revert to its true form and be Stunned until the end of your next turn.

You can expend one use of your Hemocraft to invoke a special blood curse. As a Bonus Action, you cause a creature within 30 feet of you to become Poisoned. The cursed creature can make a Constitution saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the curse on itself on a success.

Your body can produce mutagens at a whim. At the start of your turn, choose one mutagen currently affecting you. Its effects end, and you can immediately have a mutagen you know the formula for take effect in its place.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.

The Profane Soul draws magic from many different creatures. They do this in many different ways; some form pacts, some siphon energies, and some bind their souls with them. Otherworldly threats require otherworldly power to deal with.

When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of the attacks with a casting of one of your Warlock cantrips that has a casting time of an action.

You prepare a spell related to the creature type you chose for your Otherworldly Attunement. When you change your choice, the spell you prepare wth this feature also changes. You can also cast the prepared spell once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in this way when you finish a Long Rest.

Your Brand of Castigation feature digs dark arcane scars into your target, leaving them vulnerable to your magic. A creature branded by you has disadvantage on saving throws against your warlock spells.

Eldritch energies react to your rites, giving you unnatural resilience. You have Resistance to the damage type of your active Crimson Rite. If you have multiple Crimson Rites active, you have Resistance to the damage type of the latest rite you activated.

You prepare another spell related to the creature type you chose for your Otherworldly Attunement. When you change your choice, the spell you prepare wth this feature also changes. You can also cast the prepared spell once without a spell slot, and you regain the ability to cast it in this way when you finish a Long Rest.

You can expend on use of your Hemocraft to invoke a special blood curse. When a creature that isn't a construct or undead is reduced to 0 hit points within 30 feet of you, you can take a Reaction to absorb their life energy and empower yourself. Until the end of your next turn, you make attacks with advantage and you have resistance to all damage.
