Bloodborne: Blood Drunk Hunter

"Beasts all over the shop... You'll be one of them, sooner or later..."

You've been at the Hunt for a long while now. You don't know how long, but long enough to know that you can't live without it. The rush. The danger. The smell. The blood... Every night, you seek out your prey and every night you bathe yourself in their viscera. A baptism that feeds the ever-growing hunger within you. As a Hunter, you are meant to protect the good people from the beasts that seek to harm them, but who will protect the good people from you once you inevitably become that which you hunt? 

Level 3: Blood Drunk Hunter Tools

As a Hunter, you have access to a variety of tools that make you a living nightmare for those you are meant to protect.

Only the most gruesome of weapons will bleed your prey in the ways you crave. As such, you are given your choice of the following Trick Weapons. Choose one to start with. You may choose one additional Trick Weapon at Druid Levels 4 and 5, or at your DM's discretion.

Quicksilver Bullets

You have a number of Quicksilver Bullets equal to your Proficiency Bonus. You regain all spent Quicksilver Bullets every time you complete a Short Rest. However, you may gain two additional Quicksilver Bullets by expending 1/4th of your Total Hit Points (Rounded Down). These "Blood Bullets" deal the Hunter's Firearm's normal damage with -2 penalty and last until you complete a Long Rest. You can produce these "Blood Bullets" once per Long Rest.

Weapon Properties

Beastly Maul - Upon using your Bonus Action to transform the Beast Claw, your off hand becomes a beastly claw and you slash at your foes with both hands at the same time. This is already reflected in the damage (2d6 Slashing). After the attack, hit or miss, your off hand reverts back to its normal form.

Blood Sacrifice - Every time you transform the Bloodletter, you stab the weapon into your gut and expend 1d6 + half your Druid Level (Rounded Down) of your Hit Points to extend it into a gruesome, blood-spiked weapon. You can revert it back to the Standard form as a Free Action on your turn.

Parry - When a creature makes an Attack on you, you can use your Reaction to fire your Hunter's Firearm at them. Make a Ranged Attack on the attacking creature with Advantage. If the Attack hits, it deals half the Hunter's Firearm's damage and adds +2 to your AC, possibly allowing the Attack to miss. You must have an adequate number of Quicksilver Bullets available to use this Weapon Property. If a "Blood Bullet" was used for the Parry, add the -2 penalty to the halved damage. Even if no damage is dealt, you still gain the +2 AC bonus. The AC Bonus only applies to the attack you Parry and is lost immediately after.

Spread - When the weapon is fired, the Quicksilver Bullets are shredded in the barrel and spread out in a Cone. Any creatures standing to the immediate left or right of the targeted creature can be hit with the weapon's damage without the need to roll an Attack against them. Roll your action]Attack[/action] against the target creature and on a hit choose an additional creature in range of the spread. After you roll the damage, you can choose to deal 1/4 of the damage (Rounded Down) to the second targeted creature with the rest hitting the main target.

Double Shot - The weapon fires two Quicksilver Bullets at one time for 1d6 Piercing each. This is already calculated into the weapon's damage (2d6 Piercing).

Level 3: Inner Beast

Sometimes, it's just easier to give in...

You can expend one of your Wildshapes to transform into a ghastly Man-Beast. In this form, you gain the following Wildshape changes to your stats.

Until the creature dies or you decide to end the Grappled Condition, each time you succeed the check the creature will take an additional 1d4 Piercing damage if you use the Bite attack against them again. As soon as the creature succeeds, you release them.

Level 6: Beast Blood Pellets

Small pellets of coagulated blood from a beast. Ingesting one grants a spurt of Beastly strength.

Anytime you make an Attack Action with a Trick Weapon, you can expend a Beast Blood Pellet to enhance the attack with your inner beast. Before making the Attack, you only have to proclaim you are using a Beast Blood Pellet to expend one. After which, your Attack is made with Advantage and deals an additional 1d4 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Strength Modifier of the Trick Weapon's damage. Hit or miss, until the start of your next turn, the next Attack successfully made against you deals an additional amount of damage equal to your Wisdom Modifier.

You have a number of Beast Blood Pellets equal to your half your Wisdom Modifier (Rounded Up) per Long Rest and regain all uses after completing one.

You cannot use Beast Blood Pellets while Wildshaped.

Level 10: Beast Roar

You unleash a powerful, indescribable roar from deep within you.

As a Magic Action on your turn, you unleash a ear-rupturing roar that pushes creatures away from you. Every time you use this ability, any creature of Large Size or smaller within a 5ft. Emanation of you must succeed a Strength saving throw equal to your Spell Save DC. On fail, the creature(s) are pushed 10ft. away from you.

You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Wildshape usages per Long Rest and regain all spent uses after completing one.
