I made this for fun and thought I'd share. Blood Hunter already has so much overlap with Ranger, so to me it makes sense as a Ranger subclass. Thoughts?

Highlights:

• Concentration-less Hunter's Mark
• Impose Disadvantage on saving throws against your own spells
• Blood Curse form similar to Winter Walker's Frozen Haunt

Criticism:

• Strong focus on Hunter's Mark (if you don't think Ranger's should be based around Hunter's Mark)
• Blood Curse is very similar to Frozen Haunt
• Abomination Slayer is a weak level 11 feature superseded by Foe Slayer This is somewhat addressed after changing Abomination Slayer in v1.1

Changes:

• v1.1 - Abomination Slayer now does an additional die of Hunter's Mark damage to Monstrosities on top of the previous effect which increases the damage die size from a d6 to d8
• v1.2 - Reworded a few things and added more flavor text
• v1.3 - Added 1d4 Necrotic damage every time you use Dark Brand
• v1.4 - Removed Exhaustion from Blood Curse form
• v1.5 - Blood Curse now requires the use of Dark Brand when casting Hunter's Mark
• v1.6 - Blood Sense feature replaced with Dark Focus. Dark Brand renamed to Crimson Brand
