Occult Hunter Conclave (5e Subclass)
From D&D Wiki
Eldritch Hunter, Ranger (Variant)
Eldritch Hunters are rangers that tap into the Eldritch energies that rest in the natural world to enhance their abilities. Some mistake them for common spellslingers, but they're far off with that assumption. Many Eldritch Hunters have spent time studying the Eldritch arts. Most would say they are much more akin to a Warlock.
Bonus Cantrips
At the 3rd level, you learn the Booming Blade[1], Green Flame Blade[2], and Thunderous Strike[3] cantrips, these can be cast with your Eldritch bow.
Eldritch Bow
At the 3rd level, you can use your action to create an Eldritch Bow in your empty hand. This bow counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. In addition, the bow gains a +1 bonus to its attack and damage rolls, unless it is a magic bow that already has a bonus to those rolls. Your Eldritch Bow disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die. You can transform one magic bow into your Eldritch Bow by performing a special ritual while you hold the bow. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. You can then dismiss the bow, shunting it into an extradimensional space, and it appears whenever you create your Eldritch Bow thereafter. You can't affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way. The bow ceases being your Eldritch Bow if you die, if you perform the 1-hour ritual on a different bow, or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The bow appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks.
