Hi all, I am making a 5th level Blood Hunter and I need some inspiration on what background I should have. Come here to post all the best Blood Hunter background you have thought of.
Okay, if we're using the Blood Hunter 2020 version, we are dealing with a class with a priority on Intelligence, and another class you may consider proper depending on the third class (CON is a must-have in the priority section). Also, Dexterity and Intelligence are saving throws for this version. Also, the two selection skills are Athletics, Acrobatics, Arcana, Insight, Investigation and Survival. How would you like to proceed? There's also the Lv. 1 advantage on Wisdom Survival checks to track fey, undead and fiends, as well as Intelligence to recall info about them.
Level 9 has an Intelligence (History) check with advantage to recall info about a darker past surrounding an object you are touching or a location you are present in. Also, I'm going to stick to the Player's Handbook and Basic Rules for this one.
Given how I'm going for INT>CON>DEX, I might go for Urchin (Sleight of Hand and Stealth, 'Player's Handbook'), Sage (Arcana and History, 'Basic Rules'). However, you might go for strength, or Wisdom, Charisma, it's up to you!
Well using the standard backgrounds I think a creative person can use almost any background, so I am going to go through every background and see what I can think up
Acylote:a once religious zealot could not find power in there own god and sought it out themselves, or someone kicked out of a religious order seeking revenge
Anthropologists and Archeologist, you found some stuff you shouldn’t have messed with and bam, you’re a blood hunter cause you messed with curse stuff
Azorious function:weird cause it’s a setting specific one but could be a sort of vigilanty
Boros:you want justice, anything for justice
Charlatan:you live a doubt life of monstrosity and man, desperately trying to hide what you don’t like
City watch:your city needs powerful guards...but weren’t powerful....so you turned to these ancient arts
Clan crafter(guild artisan):you created weapons for a stranger group, and when you found out more then you should know...you had to choose between death..or joining
Cloistered scholar (and sage as well):you’ve studied the art of the blood hunter for ages, and now the next step of learning...is to become one
Courier:you where delivering a message and well... bad stuff kinda happened and you got saved by a mysterious group
Criminal:you heard news of a special drug that would make you powerful and strong... but soon it turned you into something you never wanted to be
Dimir operative:no one accepted you...but the dimir did..so you accept them
Entertainer:you joined an order for self betterment and now use your odd powers to put on shows for the masses, even if they’re a bit..odd
Faceless:you’ve done horrible things, and now are seeking redemption through any means...even if it means becoming a monster once again
Faction agent:your faction took you in despite your odd nature and now you owe a debt to them
Failed merchant:you tried to sell a mystery elixir to get rich quick, but it failed and in desperation you try to show off the product..****y to become a monster
Far traveler:because of your art you where kicked away from home, and now wonder the land seeking purpose
Fisher:becoming a beast with hyper senses just made sense
Folk hero:you couldn’t save them, you weren’t strong enough...so you gave into them to become strong
Gambler:you made a foolish gamble..and you lost
Gladiator:you had to win...it didn’t matter we now you just had to win, so when you where offered this...you took it
Haunted one:you where an experiment of strange powers,,,others died while you live and now that memory haunts you
Inheritor:you where destine to inherit an artifact that would turn you to this
Izzet engineer:UREAKA YOU DID IT, YOU MADE A NEW POTION, now to just drink it down and see what it does
Knight:you needed power or you would loss your stasis
knights of order:you joined an order of blood hunters willing and willing iniated into their ranks
Mercenary veteran:you where ready to retire, and you almost did...but then a group sought you out and made an offer you couldn’t refuse
Noble:the lesser of two siblings you would do anything to prove yourself
Orzhov:you in huge debt, and with how dangerous your jobs are death or power was an intriguing offer
Outlander:your people have a strange ritual for the strongest warriors, turning them into something even stronger
Pirate:argh, be scarier and more effective, sign me up ladie
Rakdos cultist:creepy blood circus cultists...no idea how to work this one in
Sailor/shipwright:some creepy pirates infected you with something killing your crew and only leaving you alive
Simic scientist:you are a new breed of super soldiers with special powers
Smuggler:you thought you wouldn’t get found out, but you did by a group you looked to far into
Soldier:you needed to defend your country, so you found a group that could make you strong
Urban bounty hunter:a group noticed your special skills and recruited you
Urchin:down on everything...what wouldn’t you do for a better life
I did miss a few but those where either kinda redundant or my brain couldn’t think of something..and you can expand on any of these or ignore them for something else
Well using the standard backgrounds I think a creative person can use almost any background, so I am going to go through every background and see what I can think up

The background of Haunted One has potential to give a good backstory for the Blood Hunter and explain a couple things about the class
