Blood Hunter

Blood Hunters are mysterious and frightening. They study occult arts and rituals in order to eliminate their prey, causing many hunters to distrust them. They guard their secret hunting methods closely, but will take steep sacrifices when necessary to slaughter their prey. This is no better exemplified than by the dangerous ritual all blood hunters undergo to transmute and mutate themselves. Once completed this allows them to harness their own life force as a weapon in combat but also leaves them with scars and blemishes, some looking almost untouched, while others gain an entirely new eye color or disfigured complexion.

Arcane Momentum

At 7th level, your experience with fighting mages increases. You can now utilize both your magic and momentum to attack with greater efficiency.

• Whenever you hit an enemy with a weapon attack, for every 10ft you have moved directly before the attack in a straight line towards the enemy (this includes teleporting, falling, and flying), they suffer an additional 1d4 force damage, to a maximum of 10d4.
• Whenever you move 10ft without expending any of your movement, you can expend a spell slot to also teleport 10ft, before, during, or after moving in this way. This benefit cannot be applied to teleporting, and lasts for 1 minute per level of the spell slot used.
• Whenever you disable or remove an enemies attack option, you can instead choose to remove some of their spell slots. You can remove a number of spell slots equal to your proficiency bonus. When removing a spell slot, for each level it is higher than first, the number of spell slots you can remove is reduced by one.
• Once per turn when an enemy you can see within 30ft of you casts a spell, you can expend your reaction and a spell slot to teleport to a point within 5ft of them and/or make a weapon attack against them. If the attack hits they must make a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failure they suffer disadvantage on any attack roll made as part of the spell, and creatures targeted with the spell have advantage on any saving throw against it. If you expend a spell slot of 3rd level or higher you do not need to expend your reaction.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier every short rest.

This extends to 4th and 5th level spells at 18th level. The 5th level spells you can cast with this feature include Swift Quiver, Steel Wind Strike, Far Step, and Conjure Volley. All of these spells count as Mage Hunter spells and do not count against your number of spells known.

Purge the Wicked

In addition at 3rd level, your faith grants you many tools to help you hunt those who forsake it and engage in malicious endeavors.

• You gain proficiency with Religion checks, and can make a religion check instead of a survival or nature check when using your On the Hunt feature. You can double your proficiency bonus for any Religion check related to your favored enemies.

You can do this a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier every long rest.

Purify

Finally, at 15th level, you can take a sacred vow to purify a creature. Whenever you critically hit your prey, or disable one of its attack options, you can invoke the vow, lighting the target ablaze in purifying flame. At the beginning of their next turn, deal your Weak Spot damage against them as fire or radiant damage (your choice). You can continue doing this on their following turns, with the amount of Weak Spot dice being rolled reduced by 1 each time, as the flames slowly dissipate. While they are aflame, they suffer vulnerability to fire and radiant damage. If they had a resistance to fire or radiant damage they instead lose the resistance, and if they had immunity, they instead lose the immunity and gain resistance. The target can use an action to douse the flame.

You cannot do this again until the creature is dead, fulfilling the vow.

Roots Runneth Deep

At 7th level, your experience with fighting mages increases. You can now utilize both your magic and momentum to attack with greater efficiency.

Whenever you take the dodge action, you also gain advantage on Constitution, and Strength based saving throws while you are dodging.
• If you choose to not expend any of your movement on your turn, you can grant yourself advantage on a spell attack you make against a prone creature, or grant a prone creature disadvantage on a saving throw against a spell you cast on the same turn.
• Whenever you disable or remove an enemies attack option, you can also choose to reduce their movement speed to 0 until the end of your next turn.
• At the end of your turn, if you have not expended any of your movement, you can roll your Weak Spot dice and gain the result as temporary hit points until the end of your next turn. You can expend one spell slot to increase this duration to 1 minute per level of the spell slot used.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier every short rest.

Crawling Bulwark

Additionally, prey who take your Weak spot damage must succeed a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or are knocked prone. They gain advantage on this save if they are large or larger.

Withstand and Repel

Finally, at 15th level, you have learned how to consolidate more layers of defenses. Whenever you receive temporary hit points while you already have temporary hit points, you can choose to add these temporary hit points you receive to your current temporary hit points. Doing so however weighs you down, and each time you do this, your movement speed is reduced 5ft until your temporary hit points are lost.

As an action, you can reduce your temporary hit points to 0, causing them to strike out from you as roots, thorns, or another form you choose. Enemies within 20ft of you must succeed a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or take an amount of damage equal to half of the temporary hit points you expended and are pushed back 15ft and knocked prone. This is dealt as piercing, bludgeoning, slashing, cold, fire, radiant, or necrotic damage (your choice) and is treated as magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances. They take half damage on a successful save.
