I recently finished a homebrew for a demon hunter class. I would love it if you guys would look it over and give me some feed back. The formatting of the table is a little weird but it should be pretty easy to figure out. I just used the eldritch knight table, gave it one more cantrip and started spellcasting at lv 2 instead of 3.
