You may only use the Rite of the Hellion or the Rite of the
Blood Hunter Martial Flame on your Blade of Status, but you may have both Rites
Orders
Order of the Pit
The Order of the Pit is an ancient and dwindling Order of
Blood Hunters that has been outstripped in recent years by
the Order of the Profane Soul. Tailored specifically to the
hunting of demons and devils, the Order of the Pit
emphasizes caution in dealing with fiends that is only
outstripped by their zeal for killing them.
Order of the Pit Features
Blood Hunter Level Features
3rd Rite of the Hellion
7th Blade of Status
11th Demonic Over Channel
15th Hellish Durability
18th Demonic Culmination
Rite of the Hellion
When you are initiated into the Order of the Pit at third level,
you learn the esoteric Rite of the Hellion, detailed below.
Rite of the Hellion. Your Rite Damage is typeless, and
cannot be modified by resistance or vulnerability. When a
creature takes this Rite damage, you may amplify its effects
in the same manner as if you were amplifying a Blood
Maledict. If you do so, the target is Tormented by an acute
knowledge of its wrongdoings and flaws for 1d3 turns. While
Tormented, the creature takes typeless damage equal to
double your Wisdom Modifier at the start of each of its turns.
Once you have amplified the Rite of the Hellion in this way,
the Rite immediately fades. Even if you later reactivate the
Rite, you may not amplify it again until you have completed a
short or long rest.
Blade of Status
By the time you reach seventh level, the power that you draw
from the Nine Hells is sufficient to render you a political
threat to the lesser fiends that you hunt, in addition to the
inherent threat you pose as a Hunter.
Your physical form begins to warp, manifesting demonic
traits. These may take the form of horns, blackened or
burning eyes, unnatural skin tones, or other similar traits
common to those of demonic heritage. For a fuller discussion
of these traits, look at the various official descriptions of
tieflings.
In addition, you gain resistance to fire damage.
You also gain a weapon symbolic of your status as an
ascending force within the Nine Hells. This weapon takes the
form of any simple or martial melee weapon of your choice,
and is wrought of obsidian and hell forged iron.
If at any point your Blade of Status is separated from you
by more than fifty feet, it automatically flies back into your
hand or its scabbard (your choice). If it passed out of range
due to a thrown attack, it completes the attack before
returning to you. This return requires no action on your part,
and does not need to happen on your turn.

active on it simultaneously if you so wish — if you do so, the
Rite of the Flame ignores resistance. Whenever you use
either or both Rites, the damage die of your Blade of Status
increases by one increment — i.e. a dagger would increase
from 1d4 to 1d6 piercing damage. This increase lasts until
the Rite fades.
Demonic Over Channel
As you progress in the Order of the Pit, your pure demonic
essence grows ever stronger. Beginning at eleventh level, you
may channel this energy to temporarily enhance your
physical form. When you activate your Demonic Over
Channel, you gain the following benefits:
You gain a flying speed of 45 feet.
Every creature that is within five feet of you at the end of
your turn takes magical fire damage equal to your
Wisdom Modifier.
Your size increases by one degree.
These effects remain active for a number of rounds equal
to your Wisdom Modifier. You may choose for this effect to
last longer, but for every round beyond your Wisdom Modifier,
you gain one level of exhaustion when the Over Channel
fades.
While your Over Channel is active, you must make saving
throws against spells, such as Banishment, that effect fiends.
Once you have used this feature, you must finish a short or
long rest before you can use it again.
Hellish Durability
At 15th level, a number of times equal to your Wisdom
Modifier, you may ignore the damage done to you by an attack
that did only nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing
damage, as the powers of hell reknit your flesh for you to
suffer life anew.
Demonic Culmination
When you reach level eighteen, you must choose either the
Caged Demonics or Hellish Ascension feature. Once you
have chosen, your choice may not be changed in any way
short of a Wish spell.
Caged Demonics. At eighteenth level, you have learned to
control and direct your demonic abilities without issue — in a
sense, you have saved your soul.
You may use your Demonic Over Channel twice per short
or long rest, and while it is active, you can no longer be
affected by banishment spells.
In addition, the following benefits are always in effect:
Your movement speed increases by five feet.
You have advantage on Charisma (Intimidation) checks.
Hellish Ascension. Beginning at eighteenth level, the hell
bound powers that have been welling within you for so long
finally consume your soul.
Your Demonic Overchannel effects become permanent.

Shameless Plugs
First of all, thank you for buying this bundle! I know that
$1.00 doesn't seem like much, but if this gets downloaded
one hundred times, it will be enough for me to get myself the
Dungeon Master's Guide.
However, I know that sometimes even a commitment of
$1.00 can seem like a lot. So, going forward, if you would like
to help me out without breaking out your wallet, here are
some ideas:
Artists. Finding public domain fantasy art is really hard,
and most of it seems to end up being ancient and rather
creepy — not quite appropriate for Dungeons and Dragons. If
you produce art, I would love to feature your work in my
documents! I would, of course, be willing to compensate you
with complimentary copies of future products, credits, and
links to your websites, if applicable.
Unless otherwise noted, all art in this supplement came
from the Dungeon Master's Guild Creator Resource Art
packs. I believe I used art from the Adventurers, Eberron
Heroes and Villains, Celestials, and Demons packs, though I
may be forgetting something from a different download.
Socialites. I know it seems silly, but share links to my stuff
on your social media! Even if you don't want to spend money,
I have plenty of free things for you to put out there, and it
would help me immensely for you to do so.
Reviewers. The best thing any of you can do is review my
mechanics! If you like something but think it's underpowered,
if your player comes to you with something of mine and it's
way broken, or if you just can't stand the way I'm wording
something, let me know in the survey that is linked in the
preface. Every bit of feedback helps me balance and refine
my mechanics, and helps me create ideas for my future
projects.
Again, thank you so much for your support, and remember,
enjoy your hunt.
