I also went with a Blood Hunter subclass that mixed in some warlock mechanics as a result of aligning with a patron. This attracts many edgelords, but I came up with a backstory that would keep my character friendly and optimistic as a result of the trauma he went through to become a Blood Hunter, rather than in spite of it. Thematically, the Blood Hunter is someone who opposes evil by way of fighting fire with fire. The ranger doesn't appeal to me because it seems to be a watered-down druid and is heavily inclined towards DEX. The character is a loxodon, so I like the idea of him throwing himself into the fray, but being calm, soothing, and paternal outside of combat. I find multiclassing to be a headache, so can anyone recommend any good homebrew classes or subclasses that use WIS and aren't so spiritual? I'm particularly interested in a more martial class - like a WIS-based paladin. Wisdom strikes me as the ability that factors into a character's power of immediate observation and instincts. In fact - based on the skills it factors into - I feel it would be more appropriate to call it Intuition. Rangers have never appealed to me as a concept - even before 5e - and the others have too much of a religious or spiritual basis.Īs I see it, wisdom is not strictly about enlightenment. However, the only core 5e classes that make use of a high WIS are monks, druids, clerics, and rangers. It was hard enough convincing DMs to let me use that class, but now I'd have to ask to be allowed to retool it, so I'm looking for alternatives. My only real problem with it is the switch from WIS to INT, as I've already got character concepts whose personalities are reflective of having a higher WIS than INT. The 2020 update to the Blood Hunter class irks me.
