[QUOTE="laughinggas, post: 7228607, member: 6841015"] For an upcoming campaign, I was thinking of playing a melee damage dealer and was looking at the blood hunter, specifically the Order of the Mutant. I thought the idea of potentially having 25 Strength, Crit on 19 to 20, and regeneration to be awesome. I was thinking of going Half-orc and using a Great Axe to really dive into doing insane damage when I crit. For a 4th mutagen, I was considering cruelty to gain an extra bonus action attack to increase it further. I can't remember where but I remember reading though the Hexblade warlock kind of surpasses the Mutant Blood Hunter and I was curious are there any benefits to still going Blood Hunter or is a Hexblade warlock superior? I do like getting booming blade, and Melee and Spell attack stat being the same. It looks like it would have similar features. I would also consider a multi-class into Stone Sorcerer so I am 2 stat dependent. I guess I have the following questions and feel free to link a former thread if it already covers this topic (I couldn't find one with my weak google-fu): 1) Strengths and weaknesses of the Blood Hunter vs a Hexblade Warlock 2) If Warlock is hands down better, what would be a good balanced multi-class with Stone Sorcerer? This is a home game and open to most UA material with some exceptions (looking at you Lore Wizard). [/QUOTE]
