Gourmet Hunter Superhuman Smell Techniques (5e Other)

Scent Recall

Prerequisite: 3rd level, Superhuman Smell

• 5 Appetite Energy

So long as you had encountered a creature or item before at least once and were within 30ft of it, you can use this technique to sniff them out so long as they are within 1 mile of you. The creature will be considered revealed to you, you learn its exact location and any other creature types around them, and they cannot hide from you so long as they remain in the same plane and are within your range. If the item or creature is in motion, this technique will also reveal the direction in which they are moving. When you use this technique at 5th level, the range increases by to 5 miles. The range increases again at levels 11 (25 miles) and 17 (100 miles).

Blood Hound

Prerequisite: Superhuman Smell

• 10 Appetite Energy

Choose one creature within 30ft or an item rich with their scent, and you lock onto that creature's scent. Make a scent-based perception check against your Gourmet Hunter DC, and on success for the next 24 hours after, you know the approximate direction of the creature so long as they are within 20 miles of the Gourmet Hunter. For every additional 10 Appetite Energy, increase the range of this technique by another 10 miles.

Mark Prey

Prerequisite: Superhuman Smell, 5th level

• 15 Appetite Energy

As an action or bonus action, you may mark a creature as your prey. For the next minute, you will deal an additional 1d8 damage on all attacks on that target for the duration and you gain an additional 10 movement speed when traveling toward them. If your target is reduced to 0HP within the duration, you may choose another target to mark for an additional 5 Appetite Energy. For every additional D10 Appetite Energy you can increase the additional movement speed by 5 and the additional damage on attack by another 1d8 to a maximum of 5d8.

The Nose Knows

Prerequisite: Superhuman Smell, 8th level

• 40 Appetite Energy

The Gourmet Hunter inhales deeply, taking in even the most subtle of scents within a 120ft radius. For the next hour, increase your passive perception by +5 and any creature within the radius will be revealed to you, allowing you to learn their approximate direction. If a creature is trying to mask their scent or hide from you, they must make a stealth check against your passive perception, on a success they will not be detected by you. So long as a creature is detected by the Gourmet Hunter, the hunter cannot be surprised by them. Additionally, you will always be aware of a creature entering and leaving your radius and if a detected creature is within 30ft of you, you will always know their exact location. The Gourmet Hunter may spend an additional 10 Appetite Energy to increase their passive perception by an additional +5 for the duration.
