Matthew Mercer has since updated this class, meaning the video may not be entirely accurate! Make sure to double check and read through your abilities, trust the text! Not this dumb idiot.

Throw down your fake gods and recognize the boomerang were-trout as your Lord and savior and he just might spare you a watery, far flung grave.

Ultimate blood hunter: -Play a gnome -pick blood hunter -boomerang -order of the lycan -UNLEASH THE WEREBADGER

"What is a Blood Hunter?" It's emo-Geralt of Rivia

Rogue: I'm the edgiest class available in 5e Bloodhunter: *Hold my cup of blood*

"How dark are we talking? I need to slit my wrists to hurt people." 10/10 as always gents

Bloodhunter: I use my own dark tendencies and blood to inflict curses upon my foes, but I must be careful I do not become the darkness myself. Taliesin: This is Mollymauk he's a pansexual disaster who dresses in bright gaudy clothing.

Admit it, you just made this video to feel like you justified that impulse-boomerang-purchase!

These videos are just an excuse for yall to go play with sticks and nerf swords isn't it.

matthew mercer origionally designed the blood hunter for Vin Diesel, the class was called Witch Hunter and was used by him in a promotional video advertising Vin Diesels new movie "the last witch Hunter". after this video mercer tweeked the class for a couple of months on dungeon masters guild until it changes into the current blood hunter. when DND Beyond becided to sponsor then for the second campaign of critical role, and one of the characters was not one of the playable classes on DND Beyond they added it to the Service. Talisin was not involved in the creation from my understanding.

Came up in my feed. Wow that's a lot of views in a day. What the heck are these kids doing over here. Oh makes sense now. Great vid folks a lot fun to watch. Gotta get you back on for another chat. -Nerdarchist Dave

What probably happened was that Matt Mercer was just researching how to most accurately make Geralt of Rivia in D&D, before saying “Fuck it” and creating his own class for that explicit purpose.

BEWARE THE BOOMERANG BLOODHUNTER! he can transform into the dreadful Were-kangaroo!

I'm honestly surprised that there isn't a single bloodborne reference in this entire video.

Idea: Bloodhunter Halfling. Reason: Lmao imagine like a halfling who had a fairly normal-ish upbringing ("cheery cozy homebodies UwU") but then they're all like "I AM THE HARBINGER OF D E A T H, *MOM* !!"

Funny how this is the darkest class of all time, and Mollymauk is just this genuinely nice person.

Who else wants to play an edgy Australian Blood hunter.

A combination of Ranger, fighter, and emo.

"How dark are we talking?" **laughs in Mollymauk** Long may he reign

Bloodmerang Hunter new meta

"How dark are you talking?" You should've said lilac. I mean, it would've been accurate.

I kinda want to actually make a boomerang blood hunter now.

Not to be THAT guy in the party but... "Should your weapon leave your grip, the rite fades immediately. An active rite on a weapon thrown fades directly after the attack is complete." That's a lot of hp lost in pursuit of a boomerang blood hunter :P

These are basically grey wardens they drink a magic potion that gives them abilities in order to fight evil

Surprised to see this before How to Play Druid but I suppose this was inevitable. The warlock pact thing is interesting, I must say. I like to think that roleplay wise, you'd stat as a Blood Hunter and form the initial pact, then MC into Warlock where you summon the patron (or another patron if you're going to be really weird) and demand an alteration to the pact terms. Of course, if you pick a different patron, then it could open up very fun roleplay possibilities as the Celestial demands you do one thing and the Fiend orders you to do another.

Its like roleplaying geralt of Riviera only darker somehow or a hunter from bloodborne

My friend decided to play a Blood Hunter because he wanted to make a Bloodborne themed character.

I feel like an Aztec style blood hunter could work really well

_Oh, good hunter..._

1:10-1:30 it looks like matt is being forced to create the class

"Or are you just an emo kid who's playing dungeons and dragons and wants to make the edgiest possible character by using blood magic?" *sweats nervously* n-NO!

"Yayyyy, the blood rites."

Hey man Making Edgy characters is fun at times if you're really roleplay heavy because you get to explore those emotions and have the character open up.

I low-key want to play as a boomerang blood hunter now.

It's kinda funny that not knowing what CR or Blood Hunter was, I invented a magic system for the book I'm writing that was incredibly similar to Blood Hunter: The Bloodless have semi-telekinetic control over their blood. This means that with sufficient training, they prevent themselves from bleeding, and can even survive without a heart to pump their blood (at least so long as they are conscious, bc they can't control the blood while unconscious). They have slightly faster natural regeneration, strength and agility abnormal to their bodies, and they're just overall creepy. Also, this pairs super well with a magical form of quartz I added which absorbs blood, allowing the Bloodless to cut themselves with a bloodquartz dagger, transferring blood into the dagger, and then cut someone with the dagger and transfer their blood into the person's body. From their, they can kill the person from the inside fairly quickly.

You inspired me... I'm gonna make a Boomerang Bloodhunter Werefish...

Actually, tales tell of the origins of this class, deep in the making of Mark Sinclair Vincent's full-length witch-hunting documentary, The Last Witch Hunter. Matthew the Mercer was joined by colleagues, and alongside the Witch Hunter, Mark Sinclair Vincent, they retold the tale of The Last Witch Hunter. I mean, it's pretty straightforward, ain't it?

So, just a Hunter from Bloodborne?

Actually, Bloodhunter wasn’t created for Taliesin. Shockingly enough, it was created for Vin Diesel in a promotional one shot for the movie “The Last Witch Hunter” (the one-shot is called D&Diesel). The homebrew ended up being really popular, so Matt quickly patched up the class and released it to the public. He would later go on to update the class, fixing and polished it up a bit.

I was already fighting my need to laugh at the 'were-trout' part, and freaking lost it at you 'trout-howl'! A+ comedy my man! It's so dumb yet so funny.

someone send this to matt stat

You're doing homebrew stuff? Excuse me for a moment. *Party Poppers*

In the gritty world of DnD, one Edge lord will prove his emo-ness to the world in our newest blockbuster feature "Death Crow 3: The darkening of violence".

I absolutely love the “how to play” videos you guys make! Hope to see more in the future!

So when do we get the video on the Were-Trout Blood Hunter

Ah, you must be a huntuur And from the looks of it, an outsiduur I'm Gilbuurt

Great... Now I have to write a character sheet for a boomerang wielding were-kangaroo.

Love it! Both the class and your representation of it! So funny! Almost did a spit take with my drink during the bit about Archery fighting style helping your boomerang blood hunter!

All The EDGE!!! #EdgeLord

Sounds pretty cool, but not my kinda thing. I kinda like having joy in my heart.

It's almost like... You guys watch Critical Role or something-

I love how he always has the Witcher 3 soundtrack.

The Boomerang appearing at 20th level has to be one of my favorite conclusions to a running joke ever. :D

4:30 It's actually any creature, including enemies that you kill. Meaning you can kill an enemy and make it attack an ally. Amazing with giant enemies.

This is the dumbest acting of all time, I love it so much XD

Nothing can ever be as edgy as playing drow rogue, nice try.

Weretrout=gungan

OOO, dude, can you also make a video about Matthew's 5e Gunslinger too. I have just started watching CR campaign 1 rn and I am very intriguied in Percy.

Lol I love how much fun he obviously has making these videos. Hes so cool ^^

R.i.P Mollymauk

Making a blood hunter and then this came out.

I think the edgiest class ever would be the edgelord. You are a corrupted bard by the influence of the seven hell kings. You gave up your ability to not be dramatic at everything you say and in exchange you are gifted with the power of creating black blades out of thin air. Your blood is used as a poison as you cut your veins to apply it on the razor sharp edges. Other abilities should be : 1) Edge rage: when an opponent makes fun of you you can deal 1 D(20) more damage 2) Poison immunity that you must sustain via drinking poison at least once In a week. 3) Blood ties: when you meet another edgelord your hp goes up by 2. 4) Blood eating: you can eat the blood of your opponents to gain hp and 1 spell they know as well as all status conditions they may have. I think I made a solid class 😂😂😂

This video is legendary. Its been more than a year and I love it just as much.

Best How to Play so far. I love Blood Hunters and am so happy that this has been made.

What was that "drink" actually made of? Lol

Rip molly

More videos of this style would be very appreciated

Simple. Don’t be a melee character with 15 AC cough! Mollymauk Cough!

This is *glorious*

Bro this is the best dnd channel out there, you deserve more than a million subs bro!

Your videos make me so happy.

I feel the urge to create a happy, optimistic blood-hunter, with Don Knotts' voice.

Oh! My fingers were cut by the video for being so edgy

I'm currently playing a Dhampir mercenary Blood Hunter of the Order of the Ghostslayer in a campaign at the moment, I'm really liking the class so far.

Well, I think I've found the class for one of my campaign's big villains

I feel yall should do a new version of this since its been updated... also Been thinking of playing one soon and would enjoy hearing more about them.

I like how you can't hold your serious faces at scenes.

Great vid guys, those skits were hilarious

Thank u so much, I started playing DnD with my friends but I didn't know much about DnD. I chose this class but I could never properly use it, thanks to this video now I can utilize my character to its most potential and become a useful member of my party.

This sounds perfect for a tiafling but I wan't to see my favorite class The Paladin

0:16 seconds in and I feel attacked.

Is it just me or does this video make you want to play as a boomerang wielding were-kangaroo

Its always fun to look back at these videos to see "Yay! The Blood Rites"

7:20 i havent slept in months

I'm telling you, profaned soul completely invalidates warlock!

I love the content on this channel. Also, some fun side history for this class, Matt Mercer actually wrote it for Vin Diesel, to promote his movie The Which Hunter. You can watch him as a guest player on the video D&Diesel, playing the prototype.

Dual Class in Monk and Lycan-Blood Hunter = Kung-Fu Were Tiger (or Otter)...the world explodes faced with your awesomeness

You really should do druids, if only to have a lvl 20 feature that actually is insane.

Like the new hair

Please do more of these!!! I love this series. I would love to see a monk video!

The only reason to pick this class is to say "I knew it!" when you find out that your butter knife is evil.

10:00 i love the fact that he didnt have a chair

Does the Blood Hunter remind anyone else of Witchers?

This is just the best guide to anything ever. Note: Nice Witcher music

im just trying to understand how to draw this, and you guy made me straight up lol this whole video. kudos.

I recommend how to play monk next

7:30 best moment in the video.

Hey, a Blood Hunter episode on my birthday. Thanks for the present, man.

That whole bingeing thing lead a cleric and a blood hunter at my table having and argument that ended with the blood hunter yelling F*CK IT IM GOING TO GO BIND GOD

Do the cleric class next
