Blood Knight

Fighter Subclass

Blood knights were an ancient order of warriors who willingly endured a profane ritual of drinking vampire blood in order to gain supernatural combat prowess. Terrors on the battlefield, blood knights gained a reputation as fearsome warrior who hunted their foes relentlessly, shrugged off mortal blows, and who grew stronger with every person they killed. Eventually, the order was destroyed, but ancient texts and forgotten practitioners still instruct those willing to learn the dark path of blood power.

Mark of the Hunter

You are a relentless opponent in combat, striking with relentless fury. When you make a melee attack, you can mark your target. Until the end of your next turn, any opportunity attack you make against the target has advantage. The opportunity attack doesn't expend your reaction, but you can't make the attack if anything, such as the incapacitated condition or the shocking grasp spell, is preventing you from taking reactions. You are limited to one opportunity attack per turn.
