The Order of the Eclipse - 5e Blood Hunter Subclass Homebrew by Nines

The Blood Hunter subclass structure is weird. It almost looks like Fighter's, only with a feature at 11th instead of 10th - which is itself weird, no other class has 5 subclass features. Fighter's the base class most in need of customization, so that makes sense, but Blood Hunter has choices out the wazoo to begin with.

But then the subclasses themselves don't agree with each other on their structure, either! They've all got a base feature, a couple of flexible features, and then a unique Blood Curse and a Brand of Castigation upgrade. But the order in which they get all those things is completely different! Ghostslayer gets the brand at 11th and the curse at 15th, Lycan gets a brand at 15th and a curse at 18th but then also gets other features at 18th as well, Mutant gets the brand at 11th and the curse at 15th, Profane Soul gets the brand at 11th and then a curse at 18th... Make it make sense, Mercer!

Anyway, that's why I chose to not go with any of those options.

With this I've made subclasses for all the official classes and also Blood Hunter, but... eh, this really didn't feel satisfying to make. Maybe I'll give it another stab some other time.
