Devil Hunter[edit]
Some claim demons are nothing but empty husks, capable of no emotion outside of pure hatred. Unstoppable killing machines, hellbent on causing unfathomable suffering to every living being unlucky enough to cross their path. But there exist few people in this world who disagree with that belief. An elite group of extremely skilled fighters, possessing hidden demonic power of their own. However, beyond their skill and experience they possess an even greater weapon: Style. “Why just beat your enemy when you can make them wish they never crawled out of their fiery hole in the ground in the first place?” is the ideology of those who bear the title “Devil Hunter”. Anyways, enough chatter. Let’s get to it!
[Disclaimer: when making this class, we opted for E & I, Gunslinger, and Blue Rose to be based on hand crossbows rather than guns. If your campaign setting has guns within it, you may change them accordingly.]
Devil Hunters are those who employ style as their weapon, dealing more damage the more stylishly they're fighting. Skilled with a diverse set of weaponry, they can adapt to nearly any situation they're faced with, and when their back’s against the wall, they have an ace in the hole: Devil Trigger.

Style Ranks[edit]
Starting at 1st level, you have a counter referred to as your style meter. Whenever you deal damage, you add that amount to your style meter as well. Whenever you are hit, you subtract the damage you took from said attack. As soon as you reach one of the thresholds listed below, you gain the following benefits.
When you roll initiative, you start at rank E and gain ranks during combat. You can taunt as a bonus action to gain the damage needed for the next rank, however, you are vulnerable to all damage until the start of your next turn.
For example, you have dealt 25 damage and are at rank C. You taunt as a bonus action, adding 25 extra damage towards your style meter, getting you to rank B. Taunting on consecutive turns without dealing damage does not add to the Style Meter.
Add +1 to Style Rank Modifier for each non-consecutive Different weapon or ability. Style Rank Modifier = X reset the modifier on: new turn, consecutive weapon or ability, and exiting combat.
For example, Swing with one attack previously and hitting with another attack or ability at rank B = 1d4+2(2) = 1d4+4 damage
| Rank | Damage Requirement | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Eh... | 0 | - |
| Dismal | 10 | +(X) damage dealt |
| Crazy! | 25 | +1d4+(X) damage dealt. |
| Badass! | 50 | +1d4+2(X) damage dealt. |
| Apocalyptic! | 75 | +2d4+2(X) damage dealt. |
| Savage! | 100 | +2d4+3(X) damage dealt. |

When you unlock new Devil Breakers, you only unlock the blueprint for new Devil Breakers. Devil Breakers also have two sets of abilities, one is the default ability of the breaker that can be used at will, and the second ability is called the Breaker’s “Break Age” and is significantly more powerful than the basic ability, however, it causes the Breaker to shatter. Changing Breakers is a delicate process, and due to this, whenever you change breakers, it takes your entire action to do so.
- Overture
Basic: You thrust your hand toward your enemy and electrify them, you deal 2d6 lightning damage. This attack has advantage if the target is wearing metal armor.
Break Age: You grab your enemy and disconnect your arm, transforming it into a time-bomb. The arm explodes after two turns, or alternatively, it can be manually detonated if the target is shot. The explosion deals 4d10 force damage.
- Gerbera GP01
Basic: As a reaction to an enemy attacking you, you can make a Strength check to launch yourself 10 feet away in any direction, avoiding the attack.
Basic 2: As a reaction to an enemy attacking you with a ranged weapon, make a Strength check to focus the power of Gerbera in front of you, reflecting the projectile back to the attacker.
Break Age: You fire all the condensed energy within your arm in one blast. This blast of energy forms a line 100 feet long and 5 feet wide that blasts out from Gerbera in a direction you choose.

Basic: Get em’ girl! You launch your arm out of its socket like a rocket to deal 2d4 bludgeoning damage for 2 turns. You can perform other actions while this ability is active.
Basic 2: Riding hot! Use your bonus action to mount Punch Line like a surfboard, flying past enemies with both ease and flair. Enemies have disadvantage on attack rolls and cannot make attacks of opportunity. This doubles your movement speed, but you cannot attack while in this state. You must use a bonus action to dismount.
Break Age: Blastoff! Charge up Punch Line’s boosters to deliver a devilly devastating uppercut! Deal 6d4 bludgeoning damage.
- Buster Arm
Basic / Break Age: Bust and Break, until it is done. In contrast to the previous Breakers, Buster Arm only has one ability. You attempt to grapple an enemy, but they have advantage against being grappled, unless they are under a different condition such as stunned. However, if they are grappled, you inflict 12d10 force damage, and then they are no longer grappled. The Buster Arm only breaks if you manage to grapple an enemy.
- Ragtime
Basic: You may freely cast the Slow spell. Nobody move!
A creature affected by this spell makes another Wisdom saving throw at the end of its turn. On a successful save, the Effect ends for it.
Break Age: You throw your arm at the ground, shattering it, which casts the slow spell at 3 times the range, and every enemy within the range must make the save. Take your time!
- Sweet Surrender
Basic: You activate the arm, which causes it to vibrate, healing minor wounds you might have accumulated during battle. Heal a number of hit points equal to your level + constitution mod per turn. The maximum amount of turns you may do this is 5 turns per combat.
Break Age: You detach your arm and destroy it, causing healing energy to flow through you and your allies. After you end your turn, any damage dealt is stored in the arm. You may use a reaction to destroy the arm, and whenever you destroy the arm, you and your allies heal that much health.
Crafting Devil Breakers[edit]
To craft a Devil Breaker, you would need the appropriate blueprint for the Devil Breaker, Smith’s Tools, and 100 Gold Pieces. Creating a Devil Breaker also takes 24 hours.
Exceed[edit]

Charge Shot[edit]

This grows back your arm when not using a breaker, and on your turn, you can tap into demonic energies as a bonus action and enter a new form. This form consumes 1 charge per turn.

Devil Buster[edit]
At 18th level, your Devil Trigger enhances your wire snatch ability, reaching out with an arm of pure demonic energy to pull enemies toward you. This ability behaves the same as Wire Snatch, but the range is increased to 50 feet. Along with this, your Devil Trigger enhances your physical strength, allowing you to perform a weaker, but still badass, version of Buster Arm’s Break Age ability without Buster Arm equipped. This attack deals 6d8 magical bludgeoning damage in your normal form, 8d8 force damage in Devil Trigger, and functions identically to Buster Arm’s Break Age attack.
You gain these benefits in your normal form.
Unbreakable Breakers[edit]
At 20th level you have perfected your Devil Breakers, fixing the rampant explosion issue. Break Age attacks no longer detonate your Devil Breakers. Additionally, a redesign to the base of your Devil Breakers allows them to be swapped much more efficiently. You may now take a bonus action to swap instead of a full action.

- Roundtrip
- As an attack, you can hurl your sword at an enemy within 60 feet. They must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC (Intelligence). If they fail, they are hit by the sword for the maximum amount of damage, their movement is set to 0, and the sword stays there spinning in place for two turns, coming back at the start of the third turn, or earlier if you decide to call it back. The enemy is stuck within the swords range for the duration of those two turns, as their movement is set to 0. If they pass the saving throw, they are hit by it once for maximum damage, and it comes back as normal. When you receive your Devil Sword, instead of throwing it, you summon a spectral duplicate of your Devil Sword and throw that instead. The ability acts the same, except for when the sword returns. Instead of the spectral sword returning after the two turns or returning early, it simply vanishes.
