Errata (maybe?) - A lot of people are commenting about still needing a 13 Int to multiclass Blood Hunter, despite the fact that we can use Wisdom instead of Intelligence for other things. I personally believe that this is a result of dndbeyond coding and that the intent is for a 13 Wis to qualify for multiclassing, but I could be wrong! Be sure to check with your DM (as always) :).
@The_Yukki Жыл бұрын
Their page on dndbyeond says that its multiclass requirements are 13dex and 13int or wis iirc. Kinda like multiclassing fighter is 13 dex or str
@pranakhan Жыл бұрын
I've ran into this exact issue after choosing Wis for my BH. After letting my DMs know, they were cool with me removing multiclass requirements in D&D Beyond in the "Character Preferences" section of the Character Builder. We try to build charcters for each others games that are 1) Available on D&D Beyond through the books and; 2) Make sense with the kind of game being run. Homebrew items are rarely if ever class related, and is narrowed to magic item design mostly
@Beed0 Жыл бұрын
I spoke with them and this is their response. Hi there Sergiobii2, The Variant Hemocraft Ability Score specifically states "you can choose to instead use your Wisdom modifier for all your blood hunter features that use your Intelligence modifier by default" The Multiclassing requirements don't use the intelligence modifier, it is an Ability Score requirement. Because of how this is worded, the Wisdom instead of Intelligence is only for the class features where the modifier is used. The Int 13 requirement for multiclassing is still required for all Blood Hunters whether they use the variant rule or not. If your DM is allowing this, then you can disable Multiclassing requirements under the character preferences, which will allow you to multiclass no matter your ability scores.

@jacobyullman5005 Жыл бұрын
See, I asked this question on D&DBeyond before, and the answer I got is that it only changes the primary stat used for your Hemocraft modifier, and that it doesn't change multiclass requirements nor saving throw proficiencies to coincide with your Hemocraft modifier. It didn't feel right to me, but that's what I was told by one of the mods.

One of my DM's "force cured" my Lycan through narrative (cult who hunts werewolves captured & cured me, then continued torturing me to reveal the location of my Blood Hunter org. so they could execute us as a group). Jokes on them. I escaped, and 1/2 naked with a dagger, a hand crossbow, and some traps I systematically assassinated half of them (10-12?) before setting their building on fire on the way out. I loved playing out that level of struggle, made for a great game.

I really like the concept. It's very fitting for halloween. One thing I'd like to add: Since the update on the blood hunter you can use wis for your blood hunter abilities but the multiclass requirements weren't updated. Technicallly you still need 13 int to multiclass. Maybe with an lenient DM you could change multiclass requirements to 13 dex or str and 13 int or wis. Edit: I see others already said the same about the multiclass thing. Sorry for repeating. I guess most DMs would allow this

I think the open hand monk would fit really nicely thematically here. Having the flurry of blows knock them prone/move them 15ft/eat their reaction without a ki investment is killer. Then you could pair it with mobile and maul multiple people in the same turn, which is terrifying
@eloisepasteur Жыл бұрын
I was just coming to say the same thing. If you’re going to do the sustained damaged build and skip those fighter levels, five or six levels of open hand monk so you can knock your target prone reliably have to be an option worth considering. I haven’t digested all of BH but 6 levels so you get Ki-fuelled strikes seems like a good point. That’s probably enough to flurry every round through most combat situations.
@theFunkyThumb Жыл бұрын
@@eloisepasteur the only problem i have with mixing monk and blood hunter is itll be level 15 almost before you end up really feeling powerful. Their resources take too long to scale or be useful
@eloisepasteur Жыл бұрын
@@theFunkyThumb I think that depends on your table? From the point you get martial arts, which is level 7 if you don't divert into fighter as well, you're able to get 2 rounds with four attacks per round. From level 8 you get the ability to force a dex save or knock them prone. Honestly, any time after that you can go back to Blood Hunter to get your werewolf abilities to scale faster depending on how many rounds of combat you typically have between short rests. You don't need to go to Monk 6, at Blood Hunter 7 your claws become magical, so it's really a question of how many Ki points you want, and do you want to level enough to get Stunning Strike? I would probably go Blood Hunter-5, Monk-4, then play it by ear after that. Do I need another ki point or the next blood hunter level more urgently? I'd err towards blood hunter levels, but if the fights start to get too long or too frequent I can pick up another Monk level easily enough. That ability to generate prone regularly and trigger elven accuracy is nice and your higher level abilities start to come on line a bit faster than in Colby's build, but there's no nova element.
@theFunkyThumb Жыл бұрын
@@eloisepasteur its totally table dependant, but i was speaking more from a "having your entire toolkit available to you" feeling powerful. Add that on top of most games starting around level 3 you just end up having a long road ahead before you had the abilities with the resources to feel totally online. In most of the games ive been in I'd personally only dip one or the other, mix monk with some druid or fighter, depending if i want raw damage or utility, and mix maybe a 2 level monk dip with the lycan, but i prefer a 2 level wizard dip for ghostslayer.
@eloisepasteur Жыл бұрын
@@theFunkyThumb I think that's fair. I haven't really thought about what I'd do if I was to completely rebuild this, I was thinking about how I might tweak it, and rather than Way of Mercy Monk (which is one of my perennial favourites) just thinking it called out for the Open Hand so it keeps that "knock them prone, savage them" approach. I might be tempted to dip three levels of trickery domain cleric. Flavour my channel divinity as a howl and summon a wolf to fight alongside me! Generate advantage that way... but there are lots of other ways to go.

Thank you for highlighting all of the secondary benefits of this build! Optimizing around damage benchmarks can be fun, but in gameplay I've found (both as a DM and player) that characters tend to work best when built around doing ENOUGH damage, rather than the MOST damage, which gives them room to shore up defenses so they can keep doing damage. The old MMO adage comes to mind: Dead characters do 0 DPS. (DPR, in this case.)

Just pointing out, there IS one official way to turn immunity into resistance, and that's the capstone of Pyromancer Sorcerer (which your builds can never get to anyway). Granted, it's limited to only fire damage, but it's an option, even if it is unique to Plane Shift: Kaladesh (one of the few official Magic the Gathering books for 5e). But hey, the fact that the newest Blood Hunter can also do this (which I didn't even realize), that really takes it up a notch. I was expecting a Monster Manual Lycanthrope build but I'm okay with this too. Great build Colby!

As promised.... after watching the build, I am quite pleased with the build. I will say after the short multiclass dips for both monk and fighter, I was a little concerned about its route. But I did love your thematic reasons you gave for it, really provides good rp/character development opportunities. The concern came from thinking there was a fair amount of benefits from going more lvls in either, which you yourself did mention would be a viable option. But after you went further with BH (which I haven't fully dived into the mechanics of the class) it seems like the build progresses in quite a positive way with the mid tier BH abilities. Overall, as a lover of the supernatural (and Werewolves especially), I am quite pleased with "The Werewolf" build. Well done sir

I love that the story reason for the monk levels is meditation and self-control, and the mechanical reason is so he can make even more attacks in a wolfy frenzy!

Wood elf from the new unhearted arcana would be a great pick for this build...

My answer to why I play is, "to have fun." But balance and fairness are key to having fun. If a player is left behind by the others, or if one player outshines the others, that's a lot harder to have fun in than a game where all the players feel equally powerful and able to affect the game.

For a MAD variation on this build, (More Saberwulf less Talbain) consider choosing to start as a Wildhunt Shifter to prevent anything from attacking you with advantage for a full minute. Pump Str, Con, and Wis, dump everything else. Grab the Great Weapon fighting style, a greataxe and Curse of the Marked to double up your lightning damage. Paired with Reckless Attack from Barbarian, you have a sustainable method of both gaining and denying advantage in melee combat while enjoying the need to never wear armor. Combine the Investigator background with the Observant feat (passive perception/investigation 20+ ftw!) and pick up the Blind Fighting style, for 10ft of blind sight so that nothing within melee distance can hide from you. As a bonus you can brew you own potions and alchemical substances for a variety of support options in and out of combat. Later grab Great Weapon Master for a damage bump. If taking Monk levels, snag 3 levels and take kensai to make your greataxe into a monk weapon. One thing to keep in mind is that Blood Hunter does not take well to multi-classing, as the best features are class level rather than character level dependent. I've noticed a very stark lack of backgrounds on the initial setup of each build, which feels odd. Something as simple as training in a poisoner or alchemist kit can have a drastic impact on how you approach combat. There is also a tendency to multiclass so hard that you end up losing out on feats and ability points, which are really valuable when locked into point buy.

I have not watched the video yet, but I am very excited for this concept because I'm currently playing a werewolf! He's a Druid (Moon) 6/Monk 2, currently. I'm interested to see how you make your werewolf...

Perfect timing! Have a new campaign coming up soon and I’m doing a Lycan Bloodhunter! 💪🏼 I’ve been waiting for a build like this from you!

speaking of immunity to resistance, there was a pyro sorcerer in the plane shift kaladesh suppliment, part of the early what would 5e in mtg worlds look like experimental content. not official but hte pyro had a high level ability that let them treat immunity as resistance and otherwise ignore resistance

This is fantastic! I've been thinking of doing a BH/Monk build, and this really looks like it'll work for that character. On a side note, I would like to see an Illrigger video, not as much as optimizing it but more just to get your thoughts on it. I can't find much on it where one side or the other isn't venomous in their defense or attack on it. Either way, great work on this one! Keep it up, man!
