Above is a link to a test PC I made and when looking at his abilities it looks like the Bloodhunter's Path of the Lycan's ability Improved Predatory Strike ability is adding to inflict wounds and shocking grasp spells, is this supposed to be or is it an error?
Yeah it's one of those things that was probably written with melee weapon attacks in mind, but DxJxC is spot on. It will work with melee spell attacks the way it is written.
Predatory Strikes isn't boosting any of your damage rolls. It and Improved Predatory Strikes only boost your attack rolls, and only with Unarmed Strikes. It's Feral Might that's boosting melee damage rolls, and I'm genuinely curious about whether Matt Mercer intended it to include melee spell attacks.

Thanks for the comments, and that is what I thought when looking at the PC at high levels in hybrid form.

Note: the PC also has a custom arcane grimoire.
Thanks
No, that is correct. Predatory strike increases damage of all melee attacks. It doesn't specify weapon, so spells are included.
Thanks for the info, that may open up some interesting PC multiclassing if I can get the level numbers to work.

Thanks for your comment, do you know of any others spells and or abilities like the one in BloodHunter Lycan subclass?
