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!

Barbarian in the Playground Join Date Nov 2016It is said that the curse affects not only the Marked individual but also those in close proximity to them, causing suffering to all who come into contact with them. The curse is said to be unbreakable, with no known means of escaping its grasp. Throughout history, many individuals of great power or influence have tried to rid themselves of the curse, only to meet a tragic end. It is believed that the curse is inextricably linked to the bloodline of the Marked, passing from generation to generation. Despite the seemingly insurmountable nature of the curse, there have been tales of rare individuals who have defied their fate. These individuals, known as the "Exalted," are believed to have been chosen by a higher power to break free from the curse and bring an end to the suffering of the Marked. Their stories are often legendary and inspire hope in those who bear the Mark. The Blood Curse of the Marked serves as a cautionary tale, warning against the dangers of power and the consequences of one's actions. It is a reminder that our choices have far-reaching effects and that we must be mindful of the legacy we leave behind. The curse represents the timeless struggle between fate and free will, and the eternal hope that even in the face of darkness, there is a chance for redemption..
Reviews for "Unlocking the Secrets of the Vlood Curse"
1. Sarah - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with "Vlood Curse of the Mrkked". The plot seemed promising at first, but it quickly got too confusing and convoluted. There were too many characters introduced without proper development, making it hard to keep track of who was who and what their motivations were. The writing style was also quite weak, with clunky dialogue and repetitive descriptions. Overall, I found it difficult to stay engaged and ended up feeling frustrated and unsatisfied by the end.
2. Mark - 1 star
"Vlood Curse of the Mrkked" is one of the worst books I've ever read. The storyline is incredibly disjointed and lacks coherence. The author tries to create a complex world, but it's just a jumble of random ideas that don't come together well. The characters are one-dimensional and their actions make no sense. The writing style is also cringe-worthy, with awkward phrases and poor grammar. I struggled to finish this book and would not recommend it to anyone.
3. Rebecca - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Vlood Curse of the Mrkked", but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The pacing was incredibly slow, with long stretches of nothing really happening. The descriptions were overly detailed and often repetitive, slowing down the already sluggish plot even more. The ending was also unsatisfying, leaving too many loose ends and unanswered questions. Overall, I found it to be a lackluster read that didn't live up to the hype.
4. Jason - 2 stars
I couldn't get into "Vlood Curse of the Mrkked" at all. The writing felt amateurish, with awkwardly constructed sentences and too much unnecessary exposition. The characters lacked depth and their motivations were unclear. The world-building was also confusing, with inconsistencies that made it difficult to understand the rules of the story's universe. I was hoping for an exciting and engaging read, but unfortunately, this book missed the mark for me.
