The Gould Standard: Blood Hunter:
Blood Curses
This is my first homebrew to extend the use of
Matthew Mercer’s Blood Hunter. The blood
curses are in alphabetical order
Blood Curses
Blood Curse of the Bleeding Priest
As a bonus action, the hunter can give an ally
within 30ft temporary hp equal to their
intelligence modifier (minimum 1).
Amplify. The Temporary Hp gained is equal to
the hemocraft dice roll + Intelligence modifier
(Minimum 1).
Blood Curse of the Bound
As a bonus action, The Hunter forces an enemy
within 30ft to make a wisdom saving throw or be
bound to The Hunter. The next time the Hunter
takes damage, the enemy takes half of the
damage. The damage is magical based on
resistances.
Amplify. The enemy is bound until the end of
The Hunter’s next turn. Including the Hemocraft
dice damage.
Blood Curse of Crueltiptusks
As a bonus action, the Blood Hunter makes an
attack more powerful. The next attack that hits,
has advantage on the damage rolls.
Amplify. As many allies as the number rolled on
the hemocraft die, within 30ft, have advantage on
the damage dice the next time they hit.
Blood Curse of the Drunken Dwarf
(Gnorri the Barrel)
As a reaction, when the Blood Hunter takes
damage, they can make the attacker roll at
disadvantage for the damage.

basis of this work.
Amplify. As a bonus action, the Blood Hunter
can grant as many allies as the roll on their
hemocraft dice, protection against oncoming
attacks. The first attack that hits them has
disadvantage on the damage roll.
Blood Curse of Defenestration
Prerequisite: Order of the Ghostslayer
You can use your bonus action to force a number
of undead, within 30ft and with a cr up to 1, equal
to your intelligence modifier to make a wisdom
modifier or be turned.
Amplify. CR2 and the undead creatures that
succeed the save instead take hemocraft damage.
Blood Curse of The Forgiven
As a reaction, to a saving throw or attack roll that
The Hunter fails, they can add their intelligence
modifier.
Amplify. As a reaction to an ally within 30ft
failing a saving throw or attack roll, The Hunter
can add the hemocraft dice to their roll.
Blood Curse of the Hexed
Prerequisite: Order of the Profane Soul
As a bonus action, The Hunter can choose to
extend their curse to an enemy within 30ft. Half
the damage of the first attack that hits the cursed
is regained as Temporary HP.
Amplify. The temporary HP gained is the full
amount of damage.
Blood Curse of the Horde Slayer
When the Hunter takes the attack action, they can
expend a blood maledict to attack another
different creature within 5ft of the original attack.
Each enemy has their own attack roll.
Amplify. The Hunter can now hit any number of
enemies once, within 5ft of the first strike. Again,
every new enemy requires a new attack roll.

Blood Curse of the Knight of Death

When the Hunter takes the attack action on their

turn, they can forgo an attack to direct an ally,
that they can see and that can hear them, to
strike.
Amplify. The attacking ally can add The Hunters
Intelligence mod to the attack roll and the
hemocraft dice to the damage.

Blood Curse of Preservation

As an ally within 30ft that the Hunter can see gets

hit with an attack, they can use their reaction to
reduce the damage taken by their intelligence
modifier (minimum 1).
Amplify. as a reaction, The Hunter can give an
ally resistance to all the damage of one attack an
ally is about to take.

Blood Curse of the Spotless Mind

When the Hunter sees an ally, within 30ft, get hit

by a spell that requires a saving throw, they can
use their reaction to add their intelligence
modifier to the roll.
Amplify. Instead the ally gets advantage on
their saving throw.
