While active, attacks from this weapon deal an additional 1d4 rite damage of the chosen elemental type. The rite damage die changes as you gain blood hunter levels, as shown in the crimson rite damage die column of the blood hunter table. Crimson rites can be used on multiple weapons. Most weapons can only be subject to a single rite at any given time. Each end of a polearm or quarterstaff is treated as a separate weapon for the purposes of this feature. A rite can be allowed to fade at any time (no action required). You gain access to an additional Primal Rite at 6th level and 11th level. You may learn an Esoteric Rite at 14th level. Primal Rites Choose from the following: Rite of the Flame (fire damage), Rite of the Frozen (cold damage), Rite of the Storm (lightning damage).

At 2nd level, you gain two blood curses of your choice, primeval abilities that allow you to control the life force of yourself, and others.

. Blood Altar by Feng Zhu https://twitter.com/FengZhuDesign https://www.instagram.com/fengzhudesign/ Additionally, whilst in dim light or darkness, all attacks of opportunity have disadvantage against you, and you can use your bonus action to move half your speed. Empowered Rites At level 7, any weapons you imbue with a Crimson Rite are considered magic for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. This includes the Lycan and Vampyr's unarmed strikes. Hardened Soul When you reach 9th level, you can no longer become frightened, and you have advantage on saving throws against the charmed condition. Grim Psychometry When you reach 10th level, you gain the ability to meditate on any object, person, creature or artifact and discern lingering evils or wicked pasts that surround them. You can cast the legend lore spell once per day. While this spell details use on any legendary or unique item or person, your use of this spell grants you greater knowledge when specifically used on items created from evil, or for sinister and impure purposes. Revoke Wound At 11th level, your empowered physiology allows you to strike back against deadlier enemies. When a creature lands a critical hit on you, you can spend your reaction to negate the critical hit and immediately make an attack against that creature with a weapon that bears your Crimson Rite. . Ichorous Vigour At 14th level, your Crimson Rite damage ignores damage resistances, if a creature is immune to the damage of your Crimson Rite, they instead are resistant. Additionally, if you are reduced to 0 hit points while a Crimson Rite is active, you can choose to drop to 1 hit point instead. You can use this ability once per long rest. Enduring Form At 17th level, your exposure to forbidden magics and the essence of death itself has halted your mortal clock. You no longer age naturally or magically, making you immortal to the ravages of time.

When you are below half your maximum hit points, all of your Crimson Rite damage rolls are maximized. In addition, you add your Constitution saving throw modifier to Death saving throws. If this increases the roll above 20, treat it as if you had rolled a 20. Blood Hunter Orders There are a handful of secretive orders of blood hunters that guard their cryptic techniques and blasphemous rituals. One must adhere to one of these orders to even be granted access to the Hunter’s Bane rite that starts their journey, and only once they’ve proven their ability will the secrets of the order begin to be revealed. Some even wait a few years before they are sure they want to continue down this cursed path. Either or, it’s within these small, enigmatic sects that the real power of a blood hunter is learned. 3

Order of the Ghostslayer The Order of the Ghostslayer is the oldest and most driven of the orders, having rediscovered the secrets of blood magic and refined them for combat against the scourge of undeath. Ghostslayers seek out and study the moment of death, obsessing over the mysteries of the transition. Some will sit with the terminally diseased to closely witness their passing, while others go so far as to deliberately have a near-death experience, allowing them to tune their body and senses to the ethereal realms beyond. Rite of the Dawn When you join this order at 3rd level, you learn the esoteric rite Rite of the Dawn (detailed below). Rite of the Dawn. Your rite damage is radiant type. If you hit an Undead creature with the Rite of the Dawn, it suffers additional radiant damage equal to your Wisdom modifier. At 11th level, any creature you hit with your Rite of the Dawn suffers additional radiant damage equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1). Spectral Step Also at 3rd level, you gain the ability to briefly step into the ethereal plane. At the start of your turn, you can choose to gain a spectral quality, whilst in this form you can move through other creatures and nonmagical objects as if they were difficult terrain, and you are resistant to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks. If you end your turn inside an object, you take 1d10 force damage. If you are inside an object when you are no longer spectral, you are immediately shunted to the nearest unoccupied space that you can occupy and take force damage equal to twice the number of feet you moved. This form lasts until the end of your turn. You can activate this ability once per short rest. Mollymauk Art by Jeremy Ruihley https://twitter.com/jeremyruihley https://www.jeremyruihley.com/ Hallowed Veins Beginning at 7th level, your study of the undead lends you superior defenses against them. You cannot be charmed, frightened, or possessed by undead creatures. Additionally, whenever you are subjected to an attack from a creature that reduces your maximum hit points, you can use your reaction to half the damage dealt and suffer a hit point maximum reduction of the same amount. Supernal Surge Upon reaching 11th level, your connection to the spirit world grows even stronger, allowing you to make swift and deadly strikes against your enemies. When you activate your Spectral Step feature, you gain the following benefits until the end of your turn: You can attack three times when you take the Attack action instead of twice.

Any attack you make against undead creatures has advantage during this turn. If your Rite of the Dawn is active when dealing damage against them, you roll an additional die of radiant damage.

Your speed cannot be reduced by physical or magical means. You can now use this ability twice per short rest. Gravesight At 15th level, you can see through magical darkness up to 30 feet, as well as see invisible creatures and objects within 30 feet of you. Vengeful Spirit Upon reaching 18th level, you learn to project your spirit to fight on while on the edge of death. Whenever your hit points drop to 0, you can choose to let your soul emerge from your body to fight on. Your body remains unconscious and subject to death saving throws per normal. At the beginning of your next turn, you manifest a spirit form in your space that picks up your weapons and continues fighting on, acting on your turn and every one of your subsequent turns under your control. Your spirit form has your physical attributes and armor class, as well as your weapons and ammunition, and can move through other creatures and objects as if they were difficult terrain. This form is immune to cold, necrotic, and non-magical weapon damage. Your spirit form has access to all of your abilities, and automatically imbues your weaponry with your Crimson Rites the moment they are picked up. If your spirit form takes any damage, if you die, or you regain any hit points, your spirit form vanishes. Once your spirit form vanishes, it drops your weapons in its space. 4

Order of the Lycan Of the many terrible curses that plague the realm, few are as ancient or as feared as Lycanthropy. Passed through blood, this affliction seeds a host with the savage strength and hunger for violence of a wild beast. Those that shun the curse spend their lives burying their wild, bestial urges deep inside. However, the power of a rising full moon makes the curse too strong to resist, and the host transforms into a terrifying animal-humanoid hybrid controlled by murderous impulse. Those that embrace the dark Nature of their curse learn to harness their bestial gifts, but also succumb to the evil, vicious temperament that drives the beast within. The Order of the Lycan is a proud order of blood hunters who undergo “The Taming”, a ceremonial inflicting of lycanthropy from a senior member. These hunters then use their abilities to harness the power of the monster they harbor without losing themselves to it. Through intense honing of one’s own willpower, combined with the secrets of the order’s blood magic rituals, members learn to control and unleash their hybrid form for short periods of time. Enhanced physical prowess, unnatural resilience, and razor sharp claws make these warriors a terrible foe to any evil that crosses their path. Yet, no training is perfect, and without care and complete focus, even the greatest of blood hunters can temporarily lose themselves to the bloodlust. Heightened Senses Starting when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you begin to adopt the improved abilities of a natural predator.

While you are transformed, you gain the following features: Tundra Painting by wwSketch https://www.deviantart.com/wwsketch https://wwsketch.artstation.com Feral Might.

On a failed save, you must move directly towards the nearest creature to you and use the Attack action against that creature. If there is more than one possible target, the DM chooses the target. You then regain control for the remainder of your turn. If you are under an effect that prevents you from concentrating (like the Barbarian’s rage feature), you automatically fail this saving throw.

In addition, your hybrid form gains the Lycan Regeneration feature. Lycan Regeneration. At the start of each of your turns, you regain hit points equal to 1 + your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1) if you have no more than half of your hit points left. You don't gain this benefit if you have 0 hit points or have taken damage from silvered weapons since the end of your last turn. 5

If they fail their saving throw by 5 or more, they are stunned until the end of your next turn instead. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to this blood curse for the next 24 hours. You can use this ability once per short rest. Order of the Vampyr The legend of Vampires has been passed down through the generations for as long as mortals have feared the dark. While some believe these tales to be nonsense, only the bravest of adventurers willing to delve into the darkest of catacombs know the truth. Vampires strive to keep their efforts hidden from the greater public, which allows them to enact their plots without attention. The Order of the Vampyr is a coven of blood hunters that hunt down and eradicate any that carry the vampiric gene, using the abilities that vampires possess in order to do so. Through a powerful blood ritual, they drive their bodies to the brink of death and enter a fringe state, never dead but no longer completely alive. Their blood remains untainted with necromantic energy whilst able to mirror the powers of vampires. The members of this order like to restrict themselves to the shadows as well, as time goes on they may find themselves falling to the same vices as their foes. Some retain their mortality for as long as they live, whilst others succumb to the power that awaits in undeath.

This movement lasts for 1 minute or until the Crimsom Rite ends, at which point you begin falling if you are not stood on solid ground. You can use this ability once per short rest. Vampiric Expertise Upon reaching 15th level, you gain a charge of Vitality whenever you reduce a creature to 0 hit points using a weapon that bears your Rite of the Dark. Your Vitality pool allows you to possess a number of charges equal to your Wisdom modifier + 1. When you make an attack roll, ability check, or saving throw, you can choose to expend one of these charges and add a d8 to your roll. You can do this after you roll but before you know the result of the roll.
