## Blood Hunter Order: Living Archive This is a homebrewed subclass to Matt Mercer's *[Blood Hunter](https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/classes/blood-hunter)* inspired by the Archivist class from *Heroes of Horror* from 3.5 edition. Where as some blood hunter orders provide the extensive use of mutagens or lycanthropy, living archives serve to benefit all orders. As a one of the living archives, you study forbidden lore out of an unyielding quest for knowledge. ### Dark Knowledge Beginning at 3rd level, you gain the ability to apply your intense studies to tracking, hunting, and even talking to the monsters of the multiverse. Your Hunter's Bane can now be used on aberrations, celestials, elementals, and monstrosities. In addition, you can cast the *comprehend languages* spell, but only as a ritual. ### In-Depth Analysis At 3rd level, whenever you use a blood curse on a creature, you gain the ability to magically discern how best to hurt it. You immediately learn whether the creature has any damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities and what one of its immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities are (DM's Discretion) . If you amplified the blood curse, you instead learn all the creature's damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities. If the creature is hidden from divination magic, you sense that it has no damage immunities, resistances, or vulnerabilities. ### Ceaseless Observation Upon reaching 7th level, you can use the Search action as a bonus action on each of your turns. ### Puissance Starting at 7th level, you can aid in fighting off corrupting influences to you and your allies. Whenever you use a blood curse on a hostile creature within 60 feet of you that you can see, for 1 minute thereafter, you and all allies within 15 feet of you gain a +1 bonus to any Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma saving throws caused by that creature. If you amplified the blood curse, the bonus is doubled. ### Dreaded Secrets Upon reaching 11th level, you can add your Intelligence modifier to any checks made for your Grim Psychometry, and you can target objects touched by Good. Additionally, you can cast the *locate object* spell once per long rest. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for it. ### Still Mind At 11th level, your rigorous mental discipline has granted you great focus. You gain resistance to psychic damage. \columnbreak
### Foreknowledge Beginning at 15th level, you can forsee incoming attacks. Whenever an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the damage against you. In addition, while using the Rite of the Oracle, you gain true sight with a range of 10 feet. ### Master Archivist At 18th level, you ignore all class, race, and level requirements on the use of magic items, and you can cast the *legend lore* spell once per short or long rest. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for it. Furthermore, your In-Depth Analysis is not affected by divination magic.
