I know the Blood Hunter isn't an official class, but one thing I've noticed about it is that it's never received a new subclass from its creator. There seems to be a lot of potential flavour which is currently untapped by the class, each with the focus of becoming a monster to kill the monster.
For example vampiric and draconic subclasses could both make sense for it.
Do people think that the class will continue to get updates, and if so, what would you like to see for it?
Or on the opposite end of the spectrum, is it possible that the class will get removed entirely now that WotC owns DnD Beyond?
I doubt it'll get removed since it's part of a sponsorship deal with Critical Role, and CR has been crazy lucrative for WotC as well.
But I also doubt that it'll get any further updates personally.

Trying to get your physical content on Beyond is like going to Microsoft and saying "I have a physical Playstation disk, give me a digital Xbox version!"
Yeah, unless Matt Mercer needs a new version of the Bloodhunter for Critical Role actual play, I don't see one getting added. CR is "hands off" development by WotC (and DMsGuild) unless CR itself is doing the development.

Jander Sunstar is the thinking person's Drizzt, fight me.
It's Critical Role content with a WotC license slapped on it for joint promotional purposes. If any new content for it comes, it will come from CR (aka Matt Mercer), not WotC.
I doubt it unless a guest player wants a blood hunter, but with a new spin. I would love one though. I think they are fun. I played a lycan for a one shot at level 10. It took a few combat rounds to ramp up its power, but once I got going, it was a blast.

Yeah playing one for the first time atm and I'm really enjoying it. Air genasi mutant blood hunter.
I'd love to see them bring out more subclasses as there is a lot of potential there for them. Vampire hunter, dragonslayer, demonslayer, and aberrant blood hunter all make sense and could have their own fun mechanics.
