Matthew Mercer Updated the Blood Hunter Class for DUNGEONS & DRAGONS

Matt Mercer is well-known and respected in the Dungeons & Dragons community. Back in the day, he created a homebrew class for the game called the Blood Hunter. He later released this class to the world via DMs Guild, and now he’s gone ahead an updated the class. The changes mostly reflect some massive rebalancing of the class and its various subclasses, but it also changes the secondary ability score focus away from Wisdom and puts it to Intelligence. Mercer explains:

“Deep consideration brought me to shift the secondary ability score focus from Wisdom to Intelligence, as the hemocraft magic was more arcane in nature, and there was little representation for an Intelligence-based martial class. Along with this came many changes to improve the ease of tracking abilities like the Crimson Rite, while adding some new features and utility to the class and its Orders (including the Brand of Castigation). Massive rebalancing has been applied throughout the class, and each Order eventually receives its own unique Blood Curse, as well as a unique modification to their Brand.”

In addition to grabbing an unofficial class designed by Mercer, fans will also be able to help the people in Australia. All funds raised by the Blood Hunter will go towards the AU Brushfire Relief Charity. You can purchase the Blood Hunter individually for $8 or as part of the Community Creators Bundle for $9.99 over at DMs Guild.
