Magar the spell casting strands is a concept or belief system that is often associated with the Magar tribe in Nepal. The Magars are an ethnic group who are known for their unique traditions and customs, particularly when it comes to spirituality and sorcery. According to this belief system, Magars believe that certain individuals possess the ability to cast spells or create magical strands. These magical strands are said to have various effects, such as healing the sick, protecting against evil spirits, and bringing good luck. The individuals who possess this ability are known as spell casters, and they are highly respected within their communities. The process of creating these magical strands involves the spell caster performing certain rituals and using specific materials.
1) Very few things are resistant or immune to radiant damage.
2) Their curses can target any enemy, and they get an extra use without jumping through hoops.
3) They have a really good upgrade to Brand of Castigation, as well as a really solid capstone (for games that get that far).
The amplification has been changed to instead give you advantage on your next attack against the target instead of being the absolutely worthless amplification of overcoming resistance to your rites element. Both versions are functional, I just think the newer one is going to be a better overall choice as it punishes you a lot less for using your core class feature.
The process of creating these magical strands involves the spell caster performing certain rituals and using specific materials. The spell caster may use items such as strings, threads, beads, feathers, and coins to create the strands. These materials are believed to hold special spiritual powers that can be harnessed by the spell caster.
Thread: Blood Hunter fans: The Class has Changed
Really? There are people saying the blood curses are weaker? It doesn't seem that way to me.
Which ones are they referencing, because we've trimmed the list of those downright useless ones such as Fending Rite, Spell Sunder, and Purgation and in their place we gained some pretty decent ones like Bloated Agony and Muddled Mind. The only real loss, imo, is Mutual Suffering. I suppose there's also the range decrease on a few of them, which can be a bit problematic for those ranged blood hunters, but the effects of the curses are generally unchanged or a bit better.
That said, I won't fault anyone for wanting to keep on using the older version. Both versions are functional, I just think the newer one is going to be a better overall choice as it punishes you a lot less for using your core class feature.
To quote one "Pravikan":
I do enjoy many aspects of the Blood Hunter class, its archetypal identity is a welcome one in the world of D&D. That said, I'll continue to play the archived one instead of the revamped edition. I won't discuss the stat choice change, as it is the focus of most peoples discussions below, and there is little to add.
The Blood Curses, in particular, have been drastically under-powered. Whereas, when designing my original B.H., it was a challenge to choose which of the Curses I wanted to take first. Now, none of them (particularly the low level, non sub specific ones) seem particularly utilitarian. Nor am I tempted to Amplify any of them (which was the reason the amplifications were originally on the more powerful side; they were mechanical temptations).
Arguably the most flavorful ability of of the Order of the Ghostslayer, it's 18th level revival, has completely changed. Yes its more "streamlined", but at the cost of an interesting and complex power that defined the subclass.
Order of the Lycan, my preferred sub, received some significant upgrades. Bloodlust isn't an instant punish, which removes its "Dark Souls"-type playstyle. For better or worse, depending on your outlook.
Order of the Mutant has been re-calibrated and balanced. It appears more balanced than it's original version I'm not sure, but it seems as if some of the original ideas present in some of the Blood Curses and/or Special abilities of the basic class have instead been changed into Mutagens. Not sure why that change was made.
I can tell they did a lot of work on the class. I'm not sure what the initial reason was for the total overhaul, but there are definitely some love-hate decisions made here.
Your guess is as good as mine. Originally Posted by segtrfyhtfgj door is a fake exterior wallIf you see me try to discuss the nitty-gritty of D&D 5e, kindly point me to my signature and remind me that I shouldn't. Please and thank you!

Reviews for "The Otherworldly Powers of Magar's Spell Casting Strands"
1. Jessica - 2 stars - I was highly disappointed with "Magar the spell casting strands". The characters were flat and lacked depth, making it difficult for me to connect with them. The plot was also confusing and felt disjointed at times. The writing style was amateurish, filled with grammatical errors and awkward sentence structure. Overall, the book failed to captivate my interest and I wouldn't recommend it.
2. Robert - 1 star - "Magar the spell casting strands" is one of the worst books I've ever read. The story was unoriginal and predictable, offering nothing new or exciting to the fantasy genre. The dialogue was cringe-worthy and the descriptions were bland. I struggled to finish it and felt like I wasted my time. Save yourself the trouble and skip this book.
3. Emily - 3 stars - While "Magar the spell casting strands" had some interesting ideas, I found the execution lacking. The pacing was slow and the book dragged in certain parts. The world-building was weak and some aspects of the magic system were underdeveloped. There were also too many characters to keep track of, which made it hard to invest in any one individual. Overall, it had potential but fell short of my expectations.
