    I'm excited that my DM has officially added this to our world. One note on their alignment, though. The blood clerics and bloodhunters (which I am) are the two main classes of the Claret Order. This order is established in secrecy to combat the monstrosities and entities that regular men can not. While governments tend to not shed light on them and their use, sort of like the CIA, they're not necessarily bad. Questionable and functioning in the Grey, certainly, but it does not have to be an evil inclined PC.

    • @TitanGamingTV
      @TitanGamingTV  6 років тому +2

      Thanks Lee! How's that blood hunter treating you?

    • @iv0rysh0es39
      @iv0rysh0es39 6 років тому +3

      Titan Bear Gaming so far, so good. Level 7 possibly bordering 8 after a huge battle the party had with a Black Knight and Vecna clan. It's certainly a great blend between melee and spells, which bring up the challenging balance aspects. You need to keep track of what type of damage is best for each scenario, as well as if you can afford sacrifice your life to rite your weapons. But when it works, it can deal quite a bit of damage.

    Man I've been thinking of a concept like this for a Sorcerous Origin for ages now! Glad to see it come to the cleric though, super creepy role play you could do with that one

    • @TitanGamingTV
      @TitanGamingTV  6 років тому +1

      Maximum creepiness here. Maybe you could borrow some mechanics for your Sorc Origin :)

  • @Shamrock797
    @Shamrock797 6 років тому +22

    At first, I thought 2d6 for the Vascular Corruption Aura was low, but given that it affects any and all creatures within range with NO saving throw means it never gets halved unless the creatures have resistance to necrotic damage. 10 rounds, no saving throw, and no concentration makes 2d6 powerful enough for my table.

    • @TitanGamingTV
      @TitanGamingTV  6 років тому +5

      Thats true about the lack of saving throw, Jacob, good point. Plus keeping the base damage down at 2d6 allows for other spells/abilities to augment the damage without becoming impractical.

    • @sovelisholimion2680
      @sovelisholimion2680 5 років тому +1

      I think the main kick is the "non concentration" aspect of this... this means you can pair it with spirit guardians to deal tons of over time damage.
      Also, the "half healing" is epic against enemies with high regeneration, which can often be found at higher levels (especially with homebrew monsters i noticed, maybe bc in 3.5 high CR monsters used to more or less all have rapid healing/regeneration).
      Against vampires for example, this is very good (although probably at that level you will have free access to Sunbeam-type magic

  • @oOPPHOo
    @oOPPHOo 6 років тому +13

    If you wanna go at least neutral with this class to better fit in your more classical, heroic campaign, I could imagine having this cleric essentially defect from a classical church and lend their aid to one of the blood hunter orders perhaps even serving a a bit of a mentor for another blood hunter in the party. There are monsters in this world willing to spill the blood of the innocent and you would rather spill your own with sacrilege magic than see those monsters get their way.
    Easiest way from there is to then homebrew a god (I'm partial to the name the Blood Lord, God of Sacrifice and Kinship) that wouldn't oppose to such methods, but in Exandria or any setting using the Dawn War pantheon, that might easily be the Raven Queen.

    • @TitanGamingTV

    @MamaSlick123 6 років тому +2

    In addition to the Knowledge Domain's two unique channel divinity options, the Trickery and War domains each give two Channel Divinity options in addition to Turn Undead. Trickery gives Invoke Duplicity (illusory duplicate of self as an action) and Cloak of Shadows (Invisibility spell until end of next turn without concentration as an action), while War gives Guided Strike (+10 to an attack roll you make) and War God's Blessing (+10 to an attack roll of a creature within 30 feet as a reaction).

  • @thatoneguy8956
    @thatoneguy8956 6 років тому +9

    I think 2d6 is enough to be honest as like you said it's free damage but also it's meant to be used against multiple opponents so that's damage, for free, against several enemies for 10 rounds. That's quite powerful just in itself

    • @TitanGamingTV
      @TitanGamingTV  6 років тому

      On Discord someone made the point, too, that since there's no 'save for half' aspect, its the free-est straight-est up damage around.

      gzerox2 he has stated that the class is based off of both the blood hunters from bloodbourne and off of Witcher’s. The mutation school is obviously Witcher’s, however the Lycan school is clearly bloodbourne. I love the class overall, especially the mutation school!

    Just like any archetype in 5e you can spin it to make it whatever alignment or character type you wish. There is only one archetype that I feel is extremely hard to spin as good in any way shape or form and that is conquest paladin.

    • @TitanGamingTV
      @TitanGamingTV  6 років тому +2

      Yeah that one has a pretty strongly asserted 'oppression' theme. Hard to spin that one positively :P

    • @peanutboy2731
      @peanutboy2731 6 років тому

      Whenever I think of a Conquest paladin, I think that they can be neutral or evil, but not good. A character that seeks to protect their homeland by eviscerating his foes can be lawful neutral, but certainly not good.

    • @william2187
      @william2187 6 років тому

      You could possibly spin it as an oppression of evil. The only way to defeat evil is to bend to to your whim or something similar

    I’m currently playing 3 different Dhampir blood clerics in 3 different games (one homebrew campaign and two games of adventurer’s guild, a customised less restrictive adventurer’s league), having tons of fun playing them all. One worships Asmodeus, one worships the raven queen, another worships Canchelsis the vampire god from Spelljammer. They’re all lawful neutral to lawful evil so they’re still willing to do good things but they’re not necessarily good people, only doing those good thing if they and their gods can benefit.

  • @nomadicchaos406
    @nomadicchaos406 6 років тому +1

    I think that you could take the damage die up to at least 4d10 since that seems more align with 17th level damage.
    And the potential for a villain is pretty good since I could see a Blood Cleric acting as a priest to a deity such as Lolth or the Chained Oblivion. With the group having to stop them from using their power to sacrifice a village or town to their deity and use this as an opportunity to raise themselves in their gods favor to becoming equivalent to a demigod of sorts.

    • @cursedgraduation6295

      @TitanGamingTV  6 років тому +2

      I would say yes, each time the damage procs add the extra damage. I realize this adds a good deal to the final output of the spell -- but the spell doesn't exactly do a whole lot in the first place :-P At worst, you tune the damage back to once a round per target, and at best it encourages people to use some of the less popular spells.

    Hey welcome back, I love to see the blood cleric getting some love.
    How would you rule a blood cleric using hex? Would it proc on every hit?

    • @TitanGamingTV
      @TitanGamingTV  6 років тому +1

      My personal ruling would be yes, proc on every hit. 1d6+3 damage on every hit is quite good for a level 1 spell, but it still requires concentration AND landing weapon attacks to be productive. There's an argument to be made in both directions, though.
      From the other perspective, a DM could say that the spell needs to deal damage directly at the time of casting to qualify. "When you use a spell ... to inflict damage" could be interpreted to mean that. My advice? If its in debate, try the direction that errs in favor of the player, and then back-off if it feels too strong in practice.
      Never be afraid to experiment, especially when it creates fun.

      Deiby Barrientos absolutely go 3blood cleric/hex blade warlockX then you grab agonizing blast invocation and get charisma to 20. With hexblade curse level5 hex spell at level 17 you will reach that 4d10+4d6+72 damage. You can also cast spiritual weapon for An additional 2d8+14-18 damage.

      Well, irl a flagellant is someone that scourges or whips themselves to enforce religious discipline and expunge sin. In game the flagellant can heal stress from your party via self inflicted damage. It's slightly different but this cleric domain could be flavored as one

    Wonder if anyone here might have a bit of advice. I’m likely going to be running Curse of Strahd soon and one of my players had expressed some interest in playing a blood cleric (we’re all big CR fans) how would people rule on the blood clerics abilities working on undead? I have no personal experience with them yet and given how prevalent undead are in that setting I wouldn’t want them feeling less useful when facing vampire spawn, Strahd himself etc

  • @conradkorbol

    Also this class and warlocks are why we need alignment restrictions for classes. I had a two hour argument with my player that he was evil for having a pact with a fiend.

    • @conradkorbol
      @conradkorbol 6 років тому

      Nicholas Dryden yeah, but how can you worship a fiend and get powers from a fiend and serve a fiend and still be good?
      I heard ghost rider, but ghost rider is either evil, or he is written as having to constantly run away from the devil. I think e was written just good once, but he wasn’t fully good then either. Unless the punisher is good
      It’s like cleric who worships a good God being evil. Why would that God let him serve?
      I didn’t agree with the older editions that spells should be restricted. Nor do I think every class should be restricted.
      I think barbarians can have two alignments. I think druids can be good or evil.
      I think there are different types of Paladins. I think there rogues can be good.
      But if you worship and an evil or good god or have made a deal with them. Your alignment is severely restricted.
      Plus then you have players argue with you saying, “it’s not in the rules that I have to be blank alignment. You are rail roading me”

    • @conradkorbol
      @conradkorbol 6 років тому

      Nicholas Dryden I mean I get the argument that if one has a restriction why don’t they all? And I can understand why they have it in the book, but it should be stated as optional rules. And suggested for those optional rules. That way there is a middle ground.
      Though I can see why people don’t want restrictions. Not all tables or played want lore immersion

    • @sajanpatel9313
      @sajanpatel9313 6 років тому +12

      Pacts are not worship. People make pacts to gain power or to save others in danger. Sometimes pacts are formed through manipulation and force. Just because the warlock formed a pact doesn't mean he likes his patron. It is a relationship based on power and greed, and manipulation. Clerical relationships are based on trust and prayer. Two very different things. Also I wouldn't hold him to evil until he makes evil actions. And Ghost Rider isn't evil. He is somewhere between neutral and neutral good. Alignment can be a sticky subject so it's best to use it as a loose guideline. There are many characters in fiction whom have grayed/mixed alignment.

    • @SamGlaze
      @SamGlaze 6 років тому +2

      A pact could be forced or coerced... just because it's the source of one's power doesn't mean they're pleased with their patron. It's possible that a character doesn't realize the nature of the being they made the pact with, or made the pact at a moment of extreme crisis when they needed the power to save someone close to them. So there's certainly ways that the alignment shouldn't be forced. Of course, if your player was playing someone with a positive relation with a fiendish patron then yeah, I see where you might be coming from

    • @conradkorbol
      @conradkorbol 6 років тому

      Sajan Patel ghost rider burns souls and send them to hell. Not good. At best neutra. Unless you consider punisher good. If punisher is good then so is ghost rider. But sending someone to be internally tortured and burning their souls is not good.
      A devil and fiend are not going to be tricked by a level 1 character
      Which means no level 20 character will have 20 levels in warlock pact of the fiend unless they are giving the fiend something they want. So what do they want? Anything good? Nope. There is no way a fiend wants something good in return. He may want you to kill all goo characters. Sacrifice children. Burn villages down. Cause destruction. Corrupt souls. There are plenty of thing but you are asking for power and I return ylu have to do something they want.
      Great old ones and get will be wildly unpredictable but all the players hand book warlocks will outright kill you if you disobey. Or if you tricked them then they will also kill you. There is no way you can be a good warlock
      Also selfish, power hungry and manipulative is objectively evil according to the book
