Demigod

At 21st level, you begin to surpass the capabilities of regular mortals as you slowly become godlike, emulating the things that make you a fighter and transforming you into a minor deity in your own right. Your creature type changes from humanoid to celestial, but you keep your subtype (i.e human or dragonborn). In addition, features and effects that normally can’t increase your ability scores above 20 can now increase your ability scores to a maximum of 24 instead.

From this point on, your physical features slowly change as you gain levels in this class. For example, your eyes might glow whenever you cast a spell, your skin might become naturally scarred, or your hair might always be flowing as though there were a breeze. These changes are slow, but by the time you have reached 40th level, you should exemplify several different physical manifestations of your power. Work with your DM to determine what these are and when they start showing up. Finally, you cannot gain levels in any other class.

Additionally, as you gain levels and overcome great challenges, the DM will grant you other features and traits at their discretion in relation to your celestialness, particularly one or more epic boons. Your AC and all saving throws also increase by 1.

Improved Focus

At 22nd level you gain access to an expanded choice of Focus Arts. You can also use additional Focus Points to improve your normal Focus Arts.

You can learn one Expanded Focus Art at level 22 and gain another of your choice at levels 26, 32, and 38. You can switch one Expanded Focus Art you know when you gain an Expanded Jaeger level or finish a long rest at Expanded Jaeger level 40.

All of you focus Arts known are able to be improved by expending one additional Focus Point while use use them. This Focus Point gives you one additional momentum die when you use the improved Focus Art (For example, a level 22nd Jaeger uses their Dodge Step focus art and expends an additional focus art, gaining two momentum die).

The improved Focus Arts and the Expanded Focus Art choices are detailed below.

Improved Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 23rd level, and again at 28th, and 34th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 3, or you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2 and another ability score of your choice by 1, or you can increase three ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 24 with this feature.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 24th level, and again at 28th, 32th, 36th and 39th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. You can't increase an ability score above 24 using this feature.

Endless Pursuit

Beginning at 26th level, when you end your turn within 10 feet of a hostile creature you may spend on Focus Point to move a distance up to half your movement speed without expending any movement. This movement does trigger opportunity attacks unless you are bloodied. If, after you use this ability, you have less than half your maximum number of Focus Points, regain the expended Focus Point.

Avoidance

Beginning at 28th level, when you make a Dexterity or Intelligence saving throw, you may choose to succeed before rolling the d20. You can do this 3 times per long rest.

Jaeger Specialization

Your training as a Jaeger continues in focus of a single style. Choose one of the options below:

Slayer of the Eldritch When you make an ability check to gain information on an aberration, celestial, fiend, monstrosity, or undead or you make an attack roll (to hit) for the first time on your turn, you can choose to use this feature before you roll the die to roll a d8 and add it to the roll. If you fail the check or attack roll you gain a 1d4 bonus to the next check or attack roll of the same kind or with the same weapon before your next short rest.

Nimble Skirmisher Your base movement speed increases by 10 feet. Additionally, when you hit a hostile creature with a weapon attack on your turn you can use ten feet of your movement without provoking opportunity attacks. Additionally, you can use the Jaeger's Rush Focus Art twice per short rest without expending a focus point

Oppressive Attacks Attacks you make on your turn, on a hit, can force the target to make a strength saving throw against your Oppressive Save DC (8 + Strength Modifier + Proficiency Bonus). On a failure, it is pushed into the ground and loses half of its movement speed on its next turn. On a success its movement speed is reduced by 10 feet on its next turn. Either way, the target will always provoke opportunity attacks from you when moving away, including forced movement and teleportation and past features or actions such as Disengage, until the start of your next turn. You can use this feature once per turn.

Overwhelming Aura Attacks made against you must subtract a d4 from the roll if the attacker is of lower total character level (or CR if they have no level). If an effect caused by a creature's features forces you to make a saving throw and the creature has a higher level (or CR) than you, you get a bonus on the saving throw of 1d4.

Eyeless Watch

Beginning at 31st level, gain tremorsense out to a range of 20 feet. If you already have tremorsense, its range increases by 15 feet.

Dread Tempo

Beginning at 33rd level, gain 1 momentum die the first two times you deal damage to a creature on your turn.

Eldritch Hunter's Power

At 37th level, your Strength, Intelligence and choice of Dexterity or Wisdom increase by 2 to a maximum of 26. You gain a bonus to any saving throw against an effect that deals psychic damage or charms or frightens equal to half your proficiency bonus.

Never Unready

You can make one additional reaction each round to use a Jaeger feature or make an opportunity attack. If you use a Focus Art with this reaction, you regain the expended Focus Point Immediately. If you use a Finisher as this reaction or use a finisher on an attack made with this action the finisher has 2 extra momentum die. These extra die can go over your maximum momentum die.

In addition, if you ever have no momentum at the start of your turn, you gain one.

Hunter of the Gods

At 40th level, your transformation from mortal to god is complete. Your DM will grant you one boon from the list of Epic Boons in the Dungeon Master’s Guide after taking suggestions from you. In addition, your maximum momentum dice increases by 2 and your maximum focus by 1 (included in the Focus Points column of the chart.
