Okay so I have been playing a Variant Human Bloodhunter now that is quiet edgy, and my DM doesnt want me to fight with my sword and shield in lycan form anymore, so I need to find other creative ways to still have some damage output that will level fighting without my weapons.

I have a Homebrewed Sword that has a reach of 15ft. or 5ft. whenever I flip a switch, it does 1D8 7 DMG and its magical.

My lycan strikes deal 1D6 5 DMG and I can Rite as a bonus action that gives me an additional 1D6 Lightning or Fire DMG.

My AC is 18 with my shield, normally 16 and now in lycan form 17. And I feel like im losing to much HP and can't really make a difference.

I already Have the Tough feat and a Constitution of 20 so that gives me 108 HP.

I've talked with my DM and he says that I can look at some creative ways to make my character stronger.

Any Ideas?
