Blood Hunter
Order of the Exorcist
The Order of the Exorcist is primarily concerned in ending
the influence of extraplanar creatures. These blood hunters
study the appropriate wards and apotropaics to release the
bonds of those who have are under such a creature's
possession or sway. They then work to send the malfeasants
back to their home worlds or to destroy them fully.
Order of the Exorcist Features
Blood Hunter Level Feature
3rd Exorcism, Expert Hunter
7th Exile
11th Exact Revenge
15th Superior Exorcism
18th Evil and Good's Bane
Exorcism
At 3rd level, you learn how to exorcise malicious influences
from a creature. As an action, you may touch a creature and
end one possession or one effect causing the charmed or
frightened condition.
You may use this feature a number of times equal to your
Wisdom modifier (minimum once). You regain all expended
uses when you finish a long rest.
Expert Hunter
Beginning at 3rd level, the benefits of your Hunter's Bane
feature apply to aberrations and celestials as well.
Exile
At 7th level, you have learned to cast the magic circle spell.
Wisdom is your spellcasting ability modifier for the spell.
Once you cast this spell, you can't cast it again with this
feature until you finish a short or long rest.
You also gain the Blood Curse of Exile for your Blood
Malediction feature. This doesn't count against your blood
curses known.
Blood Curse of Exile. As an action, you choose one
creature type from aberrations, celestials, fey, fiends, or
undead and produce an apotropaic for the chosen creature
type. As a result, creatures that do not have blood in their
body are not immune to this blood curse. Each creature of
the chosen type within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom
saving throw. On a failure, it is turned for 1 minute or until it
takes any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to move as
far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly end its move
in a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions.
For its action, it can only use the Dash action or try to escape
from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's
nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.
Amplify. You choose one creature that was turned. The
target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be
banished, returning to its plane of origin (if it isn't there
already). In the case of an undead that fails, if it has a soul,
the soul passes on into the afterlife.

Exact Revenge
Starting at 11th level, you can strike back against aggressors.
When a creature within 15 feet of you targets a creature
other than you with a harmful ability or magical effect, you
may use your reaction to move up to 15 feet and make a
single weapon attack against the acting creature.
Superior Exorcism
At 15th level, your skills in exorcism have increased. When
you use your Exorcism feature, you can now end all
possessions and effects causing the charmed and frightened
condition and also end all curses and spells affecting the
creature you wish. You may also target an object instead of a
creature for your exorcism.
Evil and Good's Bane
When you reach 18th level, your crimson rite is able to
penetrate the foes you most abhor. When you hit an
aberration, a celestial, a fey, a fiend, or an undead with a
weapon with an active rite, you roll an additional crimson rite
damage die and add it to the damage you deal, and your
crimson rite damage ignores any resistances or immunities
the creature has to it.
Order of the Hound
Often thought of as hounds themselves, blood hunters
formed the Order of the Hound to train canines to aid in
tracking and fighting the unsavory creatures that plague the
material plane. Its easy to loose track of a quarry that can
turn in invisible, fly, or teleport, but having a partner with a
heightened sense of smell means you can easily sniff them
out. The hounds are also taught to sic and hold down
enemies to prevent their further escape. This training leads
to a special bond between beast and master which further
amplified through your Hunter's Bane. If trained well and
cared for properly, your hound will forever be a loyal and
trusty companion.

When you join this order at 3rd level, you develop a

appearance of any canine such as a wolf, jackal, or any dog,
but will always have the stat block of the hound provided.
The hound obeys your commands as best as it can. It takes
its turn on your initiative, though it doesn’t take an action
unless you command it to. On your turn, you can verbally
command the hound (no action required by you).

or Wisdom (Survival) checks that rely on smell.
Loyal. Your hound can never be compelled to attack
you.
Trail. If your hound as the scent of a creature
(through the Smell action), it gains a +10 bonus to
Wisdom (Survival) checks to track that creature and
can do so at a fast pace. These bonuses are lost if
the creature has taken any steps to mask or change
its scent or if the creature has not been within 5
miles in the past 3 days.

+ 2) to hit, reach 5ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4 + 2).
On a successful attack against a Large or smaller
target, the hound can make a grapple attack as a
part of its bite attack. The grapple ends if the hound
uses the bite action again.
Smell. Your hound smells a creature or an object
held by a creature in the last day or worn by a
creature within the last 7 days, gaining its scent.
Your hound can use this scent to trail. Your hound
loses the scent if it uses the smell action to gain
another scent or finishes a long rest.
If you are incapacitated or absent, your hound acts on its
own, focusing on protecting you and itself. It never requires
your command to use its reaction, such as when making an
opportunity attack.
Your hound has abilities and game statistics determined in
part by your level. Your hound uses your proficiency bonus
rather than its own.
When you use your crimson rite, instead of applying it to a
weapon, you may apply it to your hound, provided it is within
30 feet of you.

The Homebrewery - NaturalCrit
Undying Dog
At 3rd level, you may bring your hound back to life using
some of your life force. As an action, you may touch your
dead or unconscious hound and reduce your hit point total by
an amount equal to a roll of your crimson rite die. Your hound
is brought back to life with hit points equal to two times your
your blood hunter level and is now undead.
If your hound has no retrievable body, you may spend 1
hour and 10 gold performing a ritual to return its corpse
which appears in an unoccupied space within 10 feet of you.
When your hound finishes a long rest, it is no longer
undead. The reduction of your hit point maximum lasts until
the you finish a long rest.
Blood Hound
Starting at 7th level, your hound has advantage on attack rolls
against creatures you've damaged with your crimson rite or
have cursed with your Blood Maledict since the beginning of
your last turn.
Eldritch Hound
When you reach 11th level, your hound can turn into a fiend
or fey hound. Your hound can use its action to transform into
a hell hound or yeth hound (your choice). Your hound takes
the statistics of its new form, but can still understand you and
obey you.
It reverts to its normal form if it is reduced to 0 hit points,
after 1 hour, or if you end the transformation early as an
action. If it reverts as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any
excess damage carries over to its normal form.
Once your hound uses this feature, your hound can't use it
again until your hound finishes a long a rest.
Humanoid's Best Friend
At 15th level, when your hound uses its Smell action, it can
tell if the creature is fey, fiend, or undead or if any fey, fiend, or
undead were within 60 feet of it in the past day. If so, the
hound can begin trailing with strongest scent of the area.
Additionally, when you use your Hunter's Bane to gain
advantage on a Wisdom (Insight) check or Charisma
(Intimidation) check, your hound aids you in your check if it is
within 15 feet of you (through barking and growling for
Charisma (Intimidation) and conveying its animal senses for
Wisdom (Insight)). You add double your proficiency bonus to
the check, instead of your normal proficiency bonus.
Unleash the Hounds
When you reach 18th level, you may create three additional
hounds for 1 minute as an action. These creatures also count
as your hound and appear in unoccupied spaces within 30
feet of the original hound taking the same initiative as your
hound.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest.

Order of the Reaper
The Order of the Reaper charges itself with the utter
eradication of its enemies. Reapers act as death's foot
soldiers and mortal psychopomps, offering up souls to the
afterlife. So steeped in the essence of death, they are able to
extend their own life to continue their mission to reap souls.
They are merciless and implacable in this duty.
Order of the Reaper Features
Blood Hunter Level Feature
3rd Blood Marker, Reaper Resistance
7th Soul Feed
11th Mask of the Reaper
15th Death Watcher
18th Merciless Reaping
Blood Marker
When you join this order at 3rd level, you learn how to use
the pain of your blood hunter abilities as fuel for your power.
Each time you take damage from activating a crimson rite or
amplifying a blood curse, you gain 1 blood marker. When you
deal damage with an attack or take damage, you may expend
1 blood marker to increase or reduce the damage by an
amount equal to half your blood hunter level. You lose all
blood markers upon finishing a short or long rest.
Reaper Resistance
Starting at 3rd level, you cannot die unless you have failed
three death saving throws. Any effect that would kill you,
when you do not have three failed death saves, instead
reduces you to 0 hit points. Also, damage from a critical hit
while at 0 hit points and rolling a 1 on a death saving throw
now only count as one death saving throw failure.
In addition, while you have an active crimson rite, you gain
resistance to that damage type.
Soul Feed
Starting at 7th level, you can feed on the death of creatures.
When a creature within 30 feet of you is reduced to 0 hit
points, you can use your reaction to gain temporary hit points
equal to 1d6 plus your Wisdom modifier (minimum of 1).
Mask of the Reaper
Starting at 11th level, you can become a fearsome facsimile
of death incarnate. As an action, you take the form of a
ghastly reaper and a chilling aura of death extends from you
in an area of 15 feet for 1 minute. Your visage becomes one of
undeath although the exact description is up to you, such as
skeletal and gaunt, decayed and infested with maggots, or
twisted and spectral.
When a hostile creature enters your aura for the first time
on a turn or starts its turn there, it must make a Wisdom
saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your
Wisdom modifier). On a failure, the creature is frightened of
you and its movement speed is halved while frightened. When
a creature frightened by you enters your aura for the first
time on a turn or starts its turn there, it takes 2 cold and 2
necrotic damage.
https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/print/HJ-3KXjPB4?dialog=true
If a frightened creature ends its turn outside of your aura, it
may make a Wisdom saving throw ending the effect on a
success. Once a creature succeeds on a Wisdom saving
throw against this effect, it is immune to being frightened in
this way for 24 hours.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Death Watcher
At 15th level, your connection to death extends your own life
and allows you to see a creature's mortal coil. You always
know the maximum and current hit points of a creature, as
well as any curses or diseases it is afflicted by. You no longer
need to breathe, drink, eat, or sleep, although you still must
rest to gain the benefits of a long rest. For every 10 years that
pass, your body ages only 1 year.
Merciless Reaping
At 18th level, you resist approaching death and spur it on in
others. When a creature scores a critical hit against you, it
becomes a regular hit instead, and any effects triggered by a
critical hit are canceled. In addition, the next hit you score
against the creature before the end of your next turn is a
critical hit.
Order of the Vampire
The original purpose of this strain of Hunter's Bane was to
help abate the affliction of those cursed with vampirism.
Many of these victims chose to combat the scourge that had
cursed them as well as those of their ilk, and the Order of the
Vampire was formed. Soon other blood hunters who were not
cursed began to drink the specialized concoction, willing to
gain a mild form of the vampiric disease for the cause.
Given the Order's history, many of these blood hunters
specialize solely with the fight against vampires, looking to
prevent others from going through the pain they suffered. But
others of the Order see the similar oppression and violation
of vampires in the many forms of evil infiltrating the land all
of which must be stopped.

You can't use this trait to regain hit points again until you
finish a short or long rest.
Sanguine Sustenance. You no longer require food, water,
or air. You do however require blood to sustain yourself. You
must drink the blood of a living humanoid every day. Each
day you do not, you gain a level of exhaustion which cannot
be reduced by finishing a long rest or by magical means. You
can only reduce this exhaustion by drinking humanoid blood,
reducing one level of exhaustion each time you drink. While
you are exhausted in this way, you do not regain hit points
when drinking blood.
Blood Curse
Also at 3rd level, you gain the Blood Curse of the Supplicant
for your Blood Malediction feature. This doesn't count
against your blood curses known.
Blood Curse of the Supplicant. As an action, a humanoid
of your choice within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom
saving throw or be charmed by you for 1 minute. This effect
ends early if it takes damage from you or an ally. While
charmed the target regards you as a trusted friend to be

control, it takes your requests or actions in the most favorable
way it can.
Amplify. The effect doesn't end early if it takes damage
from an ally or from your bite attack.
Mist Glide
Starting at 7th level, you can move as mist to reach your prey.
You can use a bonus action on your turn to move up to half
your movement speed toward a creature you can see or
sense. You become intangible for this movement and can
pass through creatures, objects, structures, and difficult
terrain without expending extra movement, but can not end
the movement inside a creature, object, or structure. If the
target is at half its hit points or below, this movement equals
your whole movement speed instead.
You can use this ability a number of times equal to your
Wisdom modifier (minimum of once). You regain all uses
when completing a long rest.
