The Bloodhunter, a custom class long associated with Critical Role, is being playtested for Daggerheart. Darrington Press released playtest material for the Bloodhunter class on Daggerheart’s website yesterday. The class can voluntarily take extra damage to deal extra weapon damage. While other playtested classes come with two subclass options – the Bloodhunter comes with three subclasses – the Order of the Ghost Slayer, which becomes more powerful the closer they are to death, the Order of the Mutant which can consume various mutagens for beneficial effects, and the Order of the Lycan, which gains an enhanced werewolf form.
The Bloodhunter originated as a custom class built for Vin Diesel in the Geek & Sundry one-shot D&Diesel. Created by Matt Mercer, he improved upon the class after the one-shot and changed the name to Blood Hunter after building mechanics around blood magic. It was released as a DMs Guild supplement and was used by Taliesin Jaffe for Mollymauk in Campaign Two and later by Chetney Pock’O’Pea for Campaign 3. The 5E version of the class is available on D&D Beyond.
