finding blood magic’s esoteric nature effective against the
evils that often defy the divine powers that historically hold
the line.
Through careful study and practice, blood hunters have
honed the rites of hemocraft into their combat prowess,
forfeiting a facet of their health to infuse their weapons with
powerful blood magic and summoning the elements to
envelop their strikes. They can sear an arcane brand into the
body of their quarry that hinders their foe’s abilities and

CREATING A BLOOD HUNTER
As you create a blood hunter, the most important aspects of
your character are why you were driven to this lifestyle, and
why do you seek to give up everything to wallow in the dark
with the evils you hunt? Did you lose a loved one to a fiendish
beast and now wish to prevent others from suffering the

What is your relationship with the powers of hemocraft PROFICIENCIES GAINED

Do you relish in the strength it offers you, embracing your
gifts and using them freely? Are you worried the
superstitions are right, and this power will eventually turn
you into one of the monsters you hunt? Or has your study
instilled you with the confident control of mind over matter,
certain you can bend these gifts to bring a brighter dawn?
Consider too that while a blood hunter belongs to an order,
many strike out on their own to do their best work. What
made you leave the comfort of your order? Do you intend to
return, or have you decided you have more to learn in the
world beyond? What do you seek in other adventurers that
can help you meet your goals?
While most blood hunters follow a path of good or
neutrality in their pursuits, some have fallen to the dark,
seductive side of hemocraft and use their abilities for selfish
and evil purposes. These deviants are always thrown from
the order, and often hunted along with the creatures they
once trained to fell.

QUICK BUILD
You can make a blood hunter quickly by following these
suggestions. First, make Strength or Dexterity your highest
ability score, depending on whether you want to focus on
melee weapons, or archery (or finesse weapons). Make
Intelligence or Wisdom your next highest if you plan to focus
on the potency of blood curses and mystical power. Choose a
higher Constitution next, as you want to have extra hit points
to burn on your crimson rite or amplifying blood curses.
Then, select the urchin or soldier background.

Hunter's Bane
Beginning at 1st level, you have survived the Hunter’s Bane, a
dangerous, long-guarded ritual that alters your life’s blood,
forever binding you to the darkness and honing your senses
against it. You have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks
to track fey, fiends, or undead, as well as on Intelligence
ability checks to recall information about them. The Hunter’s
Bane also empowers your body to control and shape
hemocraft magic, using your own blood and life essence to
fuel your abilities. Some of your features require your target
to make a saving throw to resist the feature’s effects. Choose
either Intelligence or Wisdom. This is your Hemocraft
modifier, which you use when setting the DC of your
Hemocraft Save, and any associated blood hunter features.
The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Hemocraft Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Hemocraft modifier
Blood Maledict
At 1st level, you gain the ability to channel, and sometimes
sacrifice, a part of your vital essence to curse and manipulate
creatures through hemocraft magic. You gain one blood
curse of your choice, detailed in the “Blood Curses” section at
the end of the class description. You learn one additional
blood curse of your choice, as shown on the Blood Hunter
table. When you gain a level in this class, you can replace any
and all of your Blood Curses, substituting them with ones
appropriate for your level.
When you use your Blood Maledict, you choose which
curse to invoke. While invoking a blood curse, but before it
affects the target, you can choose to amplify the curse by
losing a number of hit points equal to one roll of your
hemocraft die, as shown in the Hemocraft Die column of the
Blood Hunter table. An amplified curse gains an additional
effect, noted in the curse’s description. Creatures that do not
have blood in their bodies are immune to blood curses,
unless you have amplified the curse.
You can use this feature twice. Beginning at 6th level, you
can use your Blood Maledict feature three times, at 13th level
you can use it four times between rests, and at 17th level, you
can use it five times between rests. You regain all expended
uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Fighting Style
At 2nd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty.
Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a
Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to
choose again.
ARCHERY
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged
weapons.
BATTLE VIGOR
Whenever you roll initiative, you gain temporary hit points
equal to your level + your proficiency bonus.
BLIND FIGHTING
Being unable to see a creature doesn't impose disadvantage
on your attack rolls against it, provided the creature isn't
hidden from you.
DUELING
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no
other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that
weapon.
GREAT WEAPON FIGHTING
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a non-rite damage die for an attack
you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with
two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll.
The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property
for you to gain this benefit.
POWER ATTACK
When you make a melee attack, before you make the attack
roll, you can choose not to add your proficiency bonus to the
attack roll. If the attack hits, you deal an additional die of
damage. You cannot do this if you are using the finesse
property of the weapon.
SANGUINE ONSLAUGHT
When you're not wearing heavy armor and you are engaged
in two-weapon fighting, you can activate your Crimson Rite
feature without using your bonus action, as long as you use
your bonus action to make the second attack. You can add
your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

body, permanently reinforcing your resilience. Your speed

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.
Crimson Manipulation
At 11th level, you hone your control over blood magic,
mitigating your sacrifice and empowering your capability.
Once per turn, whenever a blood hunter feature requires you
to roll a hemocraft die, you can choose to reroll the die and
choose which result to use.
Brand of Tethering
Starting at 13th level, the psychic damage from your Brand of
Castigation increases to twice your Hemocraft modifier
(minimum of 2 damage).
In addition, a branded creature can’t take the Dash action,
and if a creature branded by you attempts to teleport or leave
their current plane via ability, spell, or portal, they take 4d6
psychic damage and must make a Wisdom saving throw. On
a failure, the teleport or plane shift fails.
Ichorous Vigor
At 14th level, damage dealt by your Crimson Rite feature
ignores resistance to that damage type. If a creature is
immune to the damage dealt by your Crimson Rite feature,
they instead take half damage, instead of no damage.
Sanguine Mastery
Upon becoming 20th level, your ability to harness your pain
and the pain of your foes is perfected. Whenever a blood
hunter feature requires you to roll a Hemocraft Die while you
are below half of your current maximum hit points, you can
instead take the maximum result.
In addition, whenever you score a critical hit with a
weapon attack empowered by your Crimson Rite, you regain
one expended use of your Blood Maledict feature.
BLOOD CURSES
The blood curses are presented in alphabetical order.
BLOOD CURSE OF THE ANXIOUS
As a bonus action, you magnify the adrenaline in the body of
a creature within 30 feet of you, making them susceptible to
forceful influence. Until the end of your next turn, all
creatures have advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks
directed at the target creature.
Amplify. The next Wisdom saving throw the target makes
before this curse ends has disadvantage. Once you’ve
amplified this blood curse, you must finish a long rest before
you can amplify it again.
BLOOD CURSE OF BINDING
As a bonus action, you can attempt to bind a creature you can
see within 30 feet of you that is no more than one size larger
than you. The target must succeed on a Strength saving
throw or have their speed be reduced to 0 and they can’t use
reactions until the end of your next turn.
Amplify. This curse lasts for 1 minute and can affect a
creature regardless of their size. At the end of each of its
turns, the cursed creature can make another Strength saving
throw. On a success, this curse ends.
BLOOD CURSE OF BLOATED AGONY
As a bonus action, you curse a creature that you can see
within 30 feet of you to painfully swell until the end of your
next turn. For the duration of this curse, the creature has
disadvantage on Strength and Dexterity ability checks, and
suffers 1d8 necrotic damage if it makes more than one melee
or ranged attack during its turn.
Amplify. This curse lasts for 1 minute. At the end of each
of its turns, the cursed creature can make a Constitution
saving throw. On a success, this curse ends.
BLOOD CURSE OF EXPOSURE
When a creature you can see within 30 feet is hit by an attack
or spell, you can use your reaction to temporarily weaken
their resilience against it. Until the end of the turn, the target
loses resistance to the damage types of the triggering attack
or spell.
Amplify. The target instead loses invulnerability to the
damage types of the triggering attack or spell, having
vulnerability to them until the end of the turn.
BLOOD CURSE OF THE EYELESS
When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you makes an
attack roll, you can use your reaction to roll one hemocraft
die and subtract the number rolled from the creature’s attack
roll. You can choose to use this feature after the creature’s
roll, but before the DM determines whether the attack roll
succeeds. The creature is immune if it is immune to
blindness.
Amplify. You apply this curse to all of the creature’s attack
rolls until the end of the turn. You roll a new hemocraft die
for each affected attack.
6
6
 BLOOD CURSE OF THE FALLEN PUPPET
When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you drops to 0
hit points, you can use your reaction to give that creature a
final act of aggression. That creature immediately makes a
single weapon attack against a target of your choice within its
attack range.
Amplify. You can first move the cursed creature up to half
their speed, and you grant a bonus to the cursed creature’s
attack roll equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of
+1).
BLOOD CURSE OF THE MARKED
As a bonus action, you can mark a creature that you can see
within 30 feet of you. Until the end of your turn, whenever
you deal rite damage to the target, you roll an additional
hemocraft die of rite damage.
Amplify. The next attack roll you make against the target
before the end of your turn has advantage.
BLOOD CURSE OF THE MUDDLED MIND
As a bonus action, you curse a creature that you can see
within 30 feet of you that is concentrating on a spell. That
creature has disadvantage on the next Constitution saving
throw it must make to maintain concentration before the end
of your next turn.
Amplify. The cursed creature has disadvantage on all
Constitution saving throws made to maintain concentration
of spells until the end of your next turn.
BLOOD CURSE OF MUTUAL SUFFERING
As a bonus action, you can link to a creature within 30 feet
for up to a minute, forcing them to share in the pain they
inflict upon you. The next time the cursed creature deals
damage to you, they lose hit points equal to half the damage
dealt. This curse then ends.
Amplify. The target loses hit points equal to the damage
you initially suffered. In addition, this curse lasts for 1
minute. The target can make a Constitution saving throw at
the end of each of their turns, ending this effect on a success.
77
Blood Hunter Orders
There are a handful of secretive orders of blood hunters that
guard their cryptic techniques and 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 dedication and ability will the secrets of
the order begin to be revealed. It’s within these small,
enigmatic sects that the real power of a blood hunter is
learned.
Order of the Ghostslayer
The Order of the Ghostslayer is the oldest of the orders,
having originally 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 and how it can
become corrupted by unholy powers to rise once more.
Tuning their abilities to annihilate such abominations, these
zealous blood hunters seek out the sources of such
necromantic energies, intent to destroy them wherever they
arise.
RITE OF THE DAWN
When you join this order at 3rd level, you learn the Rite of
the Dawn esoteric rite (detailed below).
Rite of the Dawn. Your rite damage is radiant damage.
While the rite is active, you gain the following benefits:
Your weapon sheds bright light out to a radius of 20 feet.
You have resistance to necrotic damage.
Your weapon deals one additional hemocraft die of rite
damage when you hit an undead.
CURSE SPECIALIST
Beginning at 3rd level, your ancient order teaches advanced
mastery over blood curses. You gain an additional use of
your Blood Maledict feature. In addition, your blood curses
can target any creature, whether it has blood or not.
ETHEREAL STEP
Upon reaching 7th level, at the start of your turn, if you
aren’t incapacitated, you can choose to magically step into
the veil between the planes.
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 that you can occupy
and take force damage equal to twice the number of feet you
moved. This feature lasts for a number of rounds equal to
your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1 round).
You can use this feature once. Beginning at 15th level, you
can use your Ethereal Step feature twice between rests. You
regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
BRAND OF SUNDERING
Beginning at 11th level, your Brand of Castigation now
exposes a fragment of your foe’s essence, leaving them
vulnerable to your Crimson Rite. Whenever you damage a
branded creature with your Crimson Rite, your weapon deals
one additional hemocraft die of rite damage. In addition, the
branded creature can’t move through creatures or objects.
BLOOD CURSE OF THE EXORCIST
At 15th level, you’ve honed your hemocraft to tear wicked
influence from your allies, punishing those who would
infiltrate their body and mind. You gain the Blood Curse of
the Exorcist for your Blood Maledict feature. This doesn’t
count against your number of blood curses known.
RITE REVIVAL
Upon reaching 18th level, you learn to protect your fading life
by absorbing your blood rite. When you are reduced to 0 hit
points while you have an active Crimson Rite, but don’t die
outright, the rite ends and you drop to 1 hit point instead. If
you have rites active on multiple weapons, you choose which
one ends.
BLOOD CURSE OF THE EXORCIST
Prerequisite: 15th level, Order of the Ghostslayer
As a bonus action, you can 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.
Amplify. The creature that charmed, frightened, or
possessed the target of your curse suffers 3d6 radiant
damage and must make a Wisdom saving throw or be
paralyzed until the end of your next turn.
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 wicked beast. 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.
You gain advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely
on hearing or smell.
TOUGHENED BODY
At 3rd level, your hit point maximum increases by double
your Blood Hunter level and increases by 2 again whenever
you gain a level in this class.
HYBRID TRANSFORMATION
Upon choosing this archetype at 3rd level, you begin to learn
to control the lycanthropic curse that now lives in your blood.
As a bonus action, you can transform into your hybrid form
for up to 1 hour. You can speak, use equipment, and wear
armor in this form. You can revert to your normal form
earlier as a bonus action. You automatically revert to your
normal form if you fall unconscious, drop to 0 hit points, or
die. This feature replaces the rules for Lycanthropy within
the Monster’s Manual.
You can use this feature twice. You regain expended uses
when you finish a short or long rest. While you are
transformed, you gain the following benefits:
HYBRID TRANSFORMATION FEATURES
While you are transformed, you gain the following features:
Feral Might. You gain a +1 to melee damage rolls. This
bonus increases by 1 at 11th and 18th level. You also have
advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws,
and your speed increases by 10 feet.
Hunter's Sight. You gain darkvision out to 80 feet. If you
already possess darkvision, the range instead increases by 40
feet.
Predatory Strikes. You can apply your Crimson Rite
feature to your unarmed strikes as a single weapon. You can
use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage
rolls of your unarmed strikes. When you use the Attack
action with an unarmed strike, you can make one unarmed
strike as a bonus action.
Your unarmed strikes deal 1d8 slashing damage. The
damage increases to 1d10 at 11th level.
Resilient Hide. You have resistance to bludgeoning,
piercing, and slashing damage from non-silvered damage.
While you are not wearing heavy armor, you gain a +1 bonus

At 7th level, your speed increases by 10 feet. You also can add
10 feet to your long jump distance and 3 feet to your high
jump distance. In addition, your hybrid form gains the
Improved Predatory Strikes feature, and you can use your
Hybrid Transformation feature three times, regaining all
expended uses when you finish a short or long rest.
Improved Predatory Strikes. You gain a +1 bonus to
attack rolls made with your unarmed strikes. This bonus

for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to

 ADVANCED TRANSFORMATION
Starting at 11th level, you learn to unleash and control more
of the beast within. You can use your Hybrid Transformation
feature four times, regaining all expended uses when you
finish a short or long rest. 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 one) if you have at least 1 hit point and no
more than half of your hit points left.
BRAND OF THE VORACIOUS
At 15th level, your Brand of Castigation now binds your foe
to your hunter’s thirst for savagery. While in your hybrid
form, your attacks have advantage against a creature
branded by you.
HYBRID TRANSFORMATION MASTERY
At 18th level, you have wrestled your inner predator and
mastered it. You can use your Hybrid Transformation feature
an unlimited number of times, and your hybrid form can
now last indefinitely.
You also gain the Blood Curse of the Howl for your Blood
Maledict feature. This does not count against your number of
blood curses known.
BLOOD CURSE OF THE HOWL
Prerequisite: 18th level, Order of the Lycan
As an action, you unleash a blood-curdling howl. Each
creature within 30 feet of 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 they fail their saving
throw by 5 or more, they are stunned while frightened in this
way. A creature that succeeds on this 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.
Amplify. The range of this curse increases to 60 feet.
Order of the Mutant
The process of the Hunter’s Bane is a painful, scarring, and
sometimes fatal experience. Those that survive find
themselves irrevocably changed, enhanced. Some found this
experience exalting, embracing the ability to alter one’s own
physiology through a combination of hemocraft and
corrupted alchemy. Over generations of experimentation, a
splinter order of blood hunters began to emerge, one that
focused on brewing toxic elixirs to modify their capabilities
in battle, altering their blood and, over time, become
something beyond what they once were. They called
themselves the Order of the Mutant. Researching their
targets to know their strengths and weaknesses, these blood
hunters can alter their biology to be best prepared for the
coming conflict.

ALCHEMICAL KNOWLEDGE
When you adopt this order at 3rd level, you gain the
following features:
Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check
you make that uses alchemist's supplies.
If you craft a magic item in the potion category, it takes
you a quarter of the normal time, and it costs you half as
much of the usual gold.
FORMULAS
You begin to uncover forbidden alchemical formulas that
temporarily alter your mental and physical abilities.
Beginning at 3rd level, you choose to learn four mutagen
formulas. Your formula options are detailed at the end of this
order description. You gain an additional formula at 7th
level, 11th level, 15th level, and 18th level.
Additionally, when you gain a new mutagen formula, you
can choose one of the formulas you already know and replace
it with a new mutagen formula.
MUTAGENCRAFT
At 3rd level, you can concoct one mutagen when you finish a
short or long rest. Starting at 7th level, the number of
mutagens you can create when you finish a rest increases to
two, and at 15th level, you can now create three mutagens.
As a bonus action you can consume a single mutagen, and
the effects and side effects last until you finish a short or long
rest, unless otherwise specified. While one or more mutagens
are affecting you, you can use an action to focus and flush the
toxins from your system, ending the effects and side effects
of all mutagens.
Mutagens are designed for your biology and have no effect
on other creatures. They are also unstable by nature, losing
their potency over time and becoming inert if not used before
you finish your next short or long rest.
STRANGE METABOLISM
Beginning at 7th level, your body has begun to adapt to
toxins and venoms, ignoring their corroding effects. You gain
immunity to poison damage and the poisoned condition.
In addition, you can instill a burst of adrenaline to
temporarily resist the negative effects of a mutagen. As a
bonus action, you can choose to ignore the side effect of a
mutagen affecting you for 1 minute.
Once you use this feature to resist side effects, you can’t do
so again until you finish a long rest.
BRAND OF AXIOM
At 11th level, your hemocraft has altered your Brand of
Castigation to enforce a foe’s true nature. Any illusions
disguising or making a creature invisible when you brand
them end, and they can’t benefit from such illusions while
branded. If a creature branded by you is polymorphed or has
changed shape, they must succeed on a Wisdom saving
throw or revert to their true form and be stunned until the
end of your next turn. Whenever a branded creature
attempts to polymorph or change shape, they must succeed
on a Wisdom saving throw or the attempt fails, and they are
stunned until the end of your next turn.
BLOOD CURSE OF CORROSION
Starting at 15th level, your blood curse can wrack a creature’s
body with terrible toxins. You gain the Blood Curse of
Corrosion for your Blood Maledict feature. This does not
count against your number of blood curses known.
EXALTED MUTATION
At 18th level, your body has adapted to produce your toxins
naturally in a moment of need. As a bonus action, you can
choose one mutagen currently affecting you to flush from
your system and end, then 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
Hemocfraft modifier (minimum of 1). You regain all uses of
this feature after you finish a long rest.
BLOOD CURSE OF CORROSION
Prerequisite: 15th level, Order of the Mutant
As a bonus action, a creature within 30 feet of you becomes
poisoned. At the end of each of its turns, the target can make
another Constitution saving throw. On a success, the curse

and suffers this damage again every time it fails its

turn.

Order of the Profane Soul
Those who have taken to the Order of the Profane Soul have
seen the limits of hemocraft against some of the most ancient
and cruel fiends and terrors of the world. Unable to pursue
beings of such power, creatures able to vanish amongst the
nobles without a trace, or bend the mind of the most stalwart
warrior with but a glance, this order trusted in their
resilience and delved into this same well of corrupting arcane
knowledge, making pacts with lesser evils to better combat
the greater. While they may have traded a part of themselves,
members of this order believe the power gained far
outweighs the price, for even devils now quake when they
know they’ve drawn the attention of the Order of the Profane
Soul.
OTHERWORLDLY PATRON
When you reach 3rd level, you strike a bargain with an
otherworldly being of your choice: the Archfey, the Fiend, or

the Undying within the Sword Coast Adventurer’s Guide, and
the Celestial or Hexblade in Xanathar’s Guide to Everything.
Your choice augments some of your order features.

 Order of the Inquisition
Of all the Orders of Blood Hunter's within the Dwendalian
Empire, the Order of the Inquisition is the most accepted by
the crown. Working closely with the Assembly, the
Inquisition has been given much leeway in their fight against
corruption. Most Orders specialize in hunting down different
monsters, threats to humanity. However, this order
understands that humanity themselves are the true
monsters. The biggest threats to an orderly and peaceful
society come from within, and these must be cut out of the
Empire like the cancer they are.
AWAKENED BLOOD
When you join this order at 3rd level, you learn to detect the

ability for these spells.
After you reach 7th level, you can channel this ability to
effect others as well. Once per short rest you may choose to
cast detect thoughts, hold person, or zone of truth with this
feature.
WITCH-HUNT
Also at 3rd level, you train yourself to hunt those that would
abuse magic. When you deal damage with your Crimson Rite
to a creature who can cast spells, you can roll the hemocraft
die an additional time and add it to the total damage.
As a bonus action, you can direct your anger toward one
creature within 30 feet of you. That creature must succeed on
a Wisdom saving throw or be frightened of you for 1 minute.
While frightened in this way, the cursed creature takes rite
damage equal to four rolls of your hemocraft die at the start
of each of its turns. At the end of each of its turns, the cursed
creature can make another Wisdom saving throw. On a
success, this curse ends.
Amplify. The rite damage is dealt to all creatures of your
choice within 10 feet of the cursed creature.

DISRUPT MAGIC
Starting at 7th level, you can interfere with the flow of
magical energies. You can spend a use of your Blood
Maledict feature to cast either dispel magic or counterspell
once, as a 3rd level spell. Your Hemocraft modifier is your
spellcasting ability for these spells. Once you use this feature,
you can't do so again until you complete a short or long rest.
The potency of this ability increases at higher levels. At
11th level, when you use this feature, the spell is cast as a 4th
level spell. At 18th level, the spell is cast as a 5th level spell.

FURY OF THE RIGHTEOUS

Starting at 11th level, the weight of all you have seen and
done can be channeled into pure fury. As a reaction to you or
an ally falling below half their maximum hit points, you can
enter into an enhanced state for 1 minute. During this time,
your speed is increased by 15 feet, you have resistance to
non-magical bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage,
and your crimson rite deals one additional hemocraft die of
damage. This state ends early if you fall unconscious.
Once you use this ability, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Additionally, you have advantage on saving throws against
spells and magical effects.

When you reach 11th level, you can transfer the health and
vitality from one individual to another. Over the course of a
minute you perform a ritual on two humanoid creatures
whom you touch for the duration of the ritual. The pain and
weariness of one flows into the other, who in turn loses or
gifts their vigor and energy.
Upon the completion of the
ritual, choose a target. They must spend a number of Hit
Dice equal to your Hemocraft modifier, taking damage equal
to the rolls. The other target regains hit points equal to the
result. The challenge rating of a target cannot be less than
1/2.
Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you
finish a long rest.

GREATER CONSUMPTION
Beginning at 15th level, you can safely allow greater sin and
corruption to flow through you. When you use the Consume
Corruption Blood Curse, the target can instead receive the
benefits of either a greater restoration or remove curse spell,
chosen when you use this ability. Once you use this feature,
you can't do so again until after a long rest.

Order of the Atavist
While all blood hunters use their lifeblood to fuel rites and
curses, the Order of the Atavist has made the practice into an
art. Atavist blood hunters coax every drop of vitality from
their blood and channel it towards slaying their foes. While
this burns through their lifeforce at a terrifyingly fast rate, an
atavist blood hunter only becomes stronger as their life
wanes — and as the blood hunter races towards the edge of
death, their foes are pulled along as well.
BLOOD FOR BLOOD
When you choose this order at 3rd level, you can spill your
own blood to drain that of your foes. When you deal damage
with a weapon that bears your crimson rite, you can choose
to roll your hemocraft die one more time, losing half that
number of hit points (rounded down), and adding that
number as extra damage dealt.
Starting at 11th level, you can roll two dice instead of one
when you use this feature.
Additionally, when you deal damage to a creature, you
learn if its current hit points are greater than, less than, or
equal to your own.
WOUNDED NATURE
At 3rd level, you gain two benefits, which strengthen as you
become weaker, and your innate reflexes take over. Choose
one of the following features, which remain active as long as
you are below your maximum hit points:
Alacrity. You hover in and out of a foe’s reach, stepping
between it as easily as a flick of a blade. Choose either the
Disengage or Dash action. You can take this action as a
bonus action. You choose the action when you gain this
feature.
Beating Reflexes. Your agility and bulk are unparalleled.
Whenever you make a Strength or Dexterity ability check
or saving throw, you can roll your hemocraft die, lose hit
points equal to half the result (rounded down), and add
the result to the roll. You make this choice after you see
the roll, but before the DM says whether the check or
saving throw succeeds.
Control. You finely manipulate your blood. Whenever
you make an attack roll or a Constitution saving throw,
you can roll your hemocraft die, lose hit points equal to
half the result (rounded down), and add the result to the
roll. You make this choice after you see the roll, but before
the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails.
In addition, choose one of the following features. When
you fall below half your hit-point maximum (rounded up),
your chosen feature activates for you, remaining active as
long as you are under that threshold:
Serrated Strike. Your blade’s edge coats and sharpens in
spilled blood. When you roll the maximum number on a
damage die or hemocraft die, you can add an additional
30 feet of you. Its hit point maximum is reduced to its
1d8 to the result for the next 3 hits with that weapon. The
hit point total until it finishes a long rest.
amount of damage, and hits you deal increases as you
reach higher levels: it becomes 2d8 at level 6 (4 hits), 3d8

dealt.
Thickening Humors. Once on your turn, you can activate
a crimson rite, amplify a blood curse, or use your Blood
for Blood feature without losing hit points.
Unceasing Flow. Your blood runs like water. When you
lose hit points due to your Blood for Blood feature, you
can double the result. You lose hit points equal to half the
result (rounded down) and apply double the result.
DRAINING RITE
At 7th level, your wounds call out to be matched. You gain
the following benefits
When you kill a creature with a weapon empowered by
your crimson rite feature, you can roll one of its Hit Dice
+ its Constitution modifier, gaining hit points equal to
double the result.
When an attack hits you, you fail a saving throw, or you
fail an ability check that requires an attack or an action,
you can make a weapon attack against any creature
within range as a reaction.
BRAND OF SIPHONING
Beginning at 11th level, your brand leeches vitality from your
enemies. Once on your turn when you deal damage to a
branded creature whilst beneath your hit point maximum,
you can store a death saving throw success. Whenever you
make a death saving throw and fail, you can expend a stored
success to pass the saving throw. You can store a maximum
of 4 death saving throw successes. Additionally, when you
fall to 0 hit points, you do not fall unconscious until you gain
a second death save failure.
BLEEDING WOUNDS
At 15th level, you can keep a creature in a damaged state,
forcing wounds to open and blood to flow. You gain the
Blood Curse of the Wounded for your Blood Maledict
feature. This does not count against your number of blood
curses known.
CALL GODSLAYER
Beginning at 18th level, you are capable of creating a blood
weapon that rivals the most powerful weapons in the
multiverse. As a bonus action, you can choose one weapon
you are currently wielding, that is empowered by your
crimson rite feature. Roll your hemocraft die 10 times, lose
hit points equal to half the amount rolled (rounded down),
and add the result to damage dealt with the chosen weapon
for three hits. After three hits, this effect fades.
Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you
finish a long rest.

Order of the Dark Draught
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
Dark Draught 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.
BLOOD-SOAKED STRIKES
When you join this order at 3rd level, you learn the Rite of
Dead esoteric rite. While active, you gain the following
benefits:
You have resistance to necrotic damage
You can see normally in dim-light and non-magical
darkness out to 120 feet.
Your speed increases by 5 feet. You can climb difficult
surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without
needing to make an ability check.
CLOAK OF SHADOWS
At 3rd level, you have learned how to access some of the
transformative powers afforded to you by the Dark Draught.
As a reaction when you take damage, you can cause your
body to dissolve into biting darkness. Every creature of your
choice within 10 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving
throw. A target takes necrotic or piercing damage (your
choice) equal to three rolls of your hemocraft die plus your
hemocraft modifier on a failed save, or half as much on a
success. You can then immediately teleport up to half your
movement speed to an unoccupied space that you can see.
You can use this reaction a number of times equal to your
hemocraft modifier, replenishing all expended uses at the
end of a long rest.
CRUOR-FED BODY
At 3rd level, you gain the following traits, a result of the
darkness rising within you.
Scent of Blood. You can smell any creature within 60 feet
of you that is below its maximum hit points. This does not
apply to creatures that do not have blood their body, and
as such you can instantly identify such creatures by their
distinct lack of the smell of blood.
Sanguine Dependency. 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 blood, reducing one level of
exhaustion each time you drink.
Vampiric Curse. Whenever you amplify a Blood Curse,
you do not lose hit points if you roll a 1 or 2 on your
hemocraft die.
Honeyed Words. You gain proficiency with the
Persuasion and Deception skills. If you already have
proficiency with these skills, you instead add double your
proficiency bonus to checks made with them.
DARKENED NATURE
Beginning at 7th level, your body is transformed even
further, the Dark Draught changing your very physicality.
You gain the following features:
Prolonged Life. Your lifeforce is extended and your body
regenerates more easily. If you start a turn with less than
half of your maximum hit points, you regain hit points
equal to a roll of your hemocraft die. This does not heal
you beyond half your hit point maximum. Additionally,
For every 10 years that pass, your body ages only 1 year.
In addition to that, you are immune to disease.
Silver Tongue. Your words are naturally graced with
seductive magic. Whenever you make a Persuasion or
Deception check, you treat any roll of 9 or lower on the
d20 as a 10.
BRAND OF STOLEN VITALITY
At 11th level, your Brand of Castigation can draw the strength
of your opponent into yourself. Whenever you hit a branded
creature with a weapon empowered by your Crimson Rite,
you regain hit points equal to the damage dealt by your
Crimson Rite.
18

 BLOOD CURSE OF ENFLAMED PASSIONS
Beginning at 15th level, you learn to emanate a hypnotic
gaze, the Dark Draught shrouding your eyes with arcane
charm. You gain the Blood Curse of Enflamed Passions for
your Blood Maledict feature. This does not count against
your number of blood curses known.

LEGENDARY VAMPIRISM
At 18th level, the Dark Draught has completed transforming
you, granting you the following benefits:
Resilience of the Damned. You have resistance to non-
magical bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage.
Legendary Predation. You can now take one of the
following Legendary Actions. Only one legendary action
option can be used at a time and only at the end of another
creature's turn. You regain spent legendary actions at the
start of your turn.

Move. You move up to your speed without provoking

opportunity attacks.

Strike. You make one weapon attack.

Curse. You activate a Blood Maledict

BLOOD CURSE OF ENFLAMED PASSIONS

Prerequisite: Order of the Dark Draught, 15th level
As a bonus action, you manipulate the blood borne
hormones of a creature you can see within 30 feet, flooding
them with emotions. The target must succeed on a Charisma
saving throw or be charmed by you until the end of its next
turn. 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 heeded and protected. Although the target isn't
under your 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 you.

ability to cast spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of
spellcasting.
Cantrips. You learn three cantrips of your choice from the
wizard, sorcerer or dunamancy spell lists. You learn another
wizard, sorcerer or dunamancy cantrip of your choice at 10th
level.
Spell Slots. The Residuum Touched Spellcasting table
shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st
level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend
a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended
spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you
know the 1st-level spell shield and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-
level spell slot available, you can cast shield using either slot.
Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. Choose two
schools of magic (detailed in the Player's Handbook, Chapter
10: Spellcasting, page 203, The Schools of Magic sidebar)
which become your arcane specialties. You know three 1st-
level wizard, sorcerer or dunamancy spells of your choice,
two of which must be spells of the same school as either of
your arcane specialties.
The Spells Known column of the Residuum Touched
Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells
of your choice of 1st level or higher. Each of these must be
spells of the same school as either of your arcane specialties,
and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For
instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn
one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.
The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come
from any school of magic.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace
one of the wizard, sorcerer or dunamancy spells you know
with another spell of your choice from the wizard, sorcerer or
dunamancy spell lists. The new spell must be of a level for
which you have spell slots, and it must be a spell of the same
school as either of your arcane specialties, unless you’re
replacing the spell you gained at 3rd, 8th, 14th, or 20th level
from any school of magic.
Spellcasting Ability. Your Hemocraft modifier functions
as your spellcasting ability modifier. In addition, you use

spell once without expending a spell slot. Once you use this
feature, you must finish a long rest before you can use it
again. Additionally, as an action, you can imbue your weapon
with this spell, then make a single attack with that weapon. If
the attack misses, the spell has no effect. If the attack hits,

Order of the
EYES OF THE SPIRITS
Spirit Warden
The process of the Hunter's Bane is painful and often deadly.
This near death experience grants some of the Hunters the
ability to peer in the veil beyond death. But a few have gone
further, linking the spirits of the dead to their body. Through
zealous practice with masters, they learn to enhance their
ability by sacrificing the ghostly essence. This power is a
dangerous one, and many have lost their sanity to the voice
from beyond the grave.
Bound spirits
When you first choose this subclass you master control over
the spirits of the dead, using them to amplify your powers.
You have control over a number of spirits. Each spirit gives
you gives you one dice, dice that are used to fuel your
abilities.
USING SPIRIT DICE
At 3rd level, you have access to a number of spirit dice equal
to your 1 + Hemocraft Modifier (minimum of one). A spirit
dice is expended when you use it. Spirit dice are equal to your
hemocraft dice.
At the end of every short or long rest you can focus and
peer in the veil beyond death to reform your spirits.
SPECTRAL GUIDANCE
As a reaction you can expend one of your spirits to guide
your attack, to do so expend one spirit dice and add it to the
attack roll. You can use this ability before or after making the
attack roll, but before any of the effects of the attack are
applied.
PHANTASMAL RESILIENCE
As a reaction you can expend one of your spirits to
strengthen your mind. When you make an Intelligence, a
Wisdom, or a Charisma saving throw, you can expend one
spirit dice to add it to the roll. You can use this feature only
before you learn if the save succeeded or failed.
SUPERNATURAL SIGHT
As a reaction, when you make a Wisdom (Perception) check,
or an Intelligence (Investigation) check, you can expend one
spirit die to add it to the roll.
GHOSTLY PROTECTION
As a reaction, when an attack is made against you, you can
use one of your spirits to protect you, expending one spirit
die and reducing the opponent’s attack roll by the result. You
can use this ability after the attack is rolled.
At 3rd level, if you still have a spirit dice, you can project
your consciousness in one of the spirits bound to you. As an
action, you can see through your spirit's eyes and hear what
it hears until the start of your next turn. During this time,
you are deaf and blind with regard to your own senses. While
in this form you have a flying speed of 15ft and can pass
through solid objects as if they were difficult terrain.
When you start using this ability make a wisdom saving
throw (DC = 20 - your Blood Hunter level), on a failure, the
spirit takes control of you and attacks any creature in sight,
until your body falls unconscious. On a success you maintain
control. Repeat this save every minute you are using this
ability.
SPIRIT SAGE
At level 7, Once per long rest you can use an amplified blood
maledict without taking damage or expending its use,
sacrificing one of your spirits instead. Expend a spirit dice as
a reaction to do so.
In addition, your blood curses can now target any creature,
whether it has blood or not.
BRAND OF DISRUPTION
Upon reaching 11th level, your Brand of Castigation now
carves deep ethereal tendrils in your foes, ripping out a part
of the target's spirit, leaving them vulnerable to your power.
Their first attack roll on a turn, if it’s made on a creature
other than you, is at disadvantage.
In addition if they attempt to teleport by any means (misty
step, teleportation circle,...) they must succeed a Wisdom
saving throw or fail and be stunned until the end of your next
turn.
BLOOD CURSE OF
THE SHACKLED SPIRITS
At 15th level you gain access to the blood curse of the
shackled spirits. This doesn’t count against your number of
blood curses known.
UNYIELDING BLIZZARD
At 18th level, you gain the ability to become one with the
spirits you control. As a reaction you can trigger this fusion,
expending 3 spirit dice. Your form becomes spectral, you
gain a flying speed equal to your movement speed, resistance
to piercing, slashing and bludgeoning damage, as well as
necrotic damage. If you took the attack action during your
turn while transformed, you can make a single extra melee
weapon attack as part of this action.
This transformation lasts for one minute and you can’t use
it again until your next long rest.
