Huntsmen/Huntress

This is an alternative to the Huntsmen Class based off of the one already built at this address https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Huntsman_(5e_Class). With a grunt of excitement and fury, the human swings his blade of his weapon through the body of a dark creature of Grimm, and in the same motion raising it into a crossbow like form to shoot at the hordes still approaching the otherwise defenseless village in his protection. With little effort, the tabaxi raises a field of aura, deflecting each incoming projectile with grace and precision, continuing her escape as hardly a care of the chasing guards. After a tireless night, the dragonborn shouts in glee as she beholds her new creation in its final form - a chainsaw that doubles as a lance with attached crossbow. Huntsmen and Huntresses are skilled fighters trained to use their mind and soul as much as their body to combat the force of darkness. They protect themselves with their own life force, extending from them as an aura of power and protection. Their minds are learned in engineer and tactics, and each wield a unique multi-form weapon of their own design and make.

Huntsmen typically learn their craft from an academy or from another huntsman. After they have completed their training, they are often sent out into the wilderness to hunt monsters. The hunting of monsters by huntsmen and the protection they provide to cities has led to countless stories of how huntsmen have bravely protected civilization. These stories and many other things inspire people to become huntsmen from all walks of life. These huntsmen have also been known to wield transforming weapons that have increasingly become more and more advanced throughout the ages.

Specialized Weapon

When you become a Huntsmen at 1st level, you may craft a specialized weapon, unique to your own construction. You may select up to two weapons in your possession to base the design on and build with; the specialized weapon will take on the properties of each, including magical properties. The original weapons are destroyed in the process of creating the specialized weapon. The specialized weapon has multiple forms that can be changed as a bonus action: one easily transportable "sheathed" form and up to two weapon forms that each take on the properties of one of the component weapons. If any component of the specialized weapon has the Heavy property, the specialized weapon has the Heavy property in all its forms and cannot have the Thrown and Finesse properties. Because of the uniqueness of the weapon, no one besides the creator may add their proficiency bonus to the specialized weapon on attack rolls.

Using Smith or tinker tools, you may spend a day and an amount of gold equal to half the original price of the weapon to make modifications to the specialized weapon. Once you make a modification, you cannot make another until you gain another level of Huntsmen. When you make a modification, you may choose one of the following effects:

• Add or remove a weapon property from one form of the specialized weapon
• Change the damage type of one form of the specialized weapon between slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning, add an extra D4 Aura (Force), Fire, Cold or Lightning Damage
• If a form of the specialized weapon has the ammunition property, you may craft 20 special ammunition that deal your choice of slashing, piercing, bludgeoning, fire, cold, poison, or lightning damage
• If your weapon is an instrument its starting damage is 1D6 thunder upon leveling up you can increase this this to a max of 2D6 before level 10. If this is not the weapon’s primary form or your semblance does not have a sound (thunder) component you will have to spend 1 AP to attack with its instrument form. The weapon’s attack will require the enemy to make saves to be made instead of you making ranged attacks. Depending on the type of instrument Weapon’s range will either be a cone of 30 feet or a dome with a 10 – 15-foot radius

Upon reaching 10 levels of Huntsmen, you may make new modifications to your specialized weapon:

• You may replace one form of the specialized weapon with another. This weapon is destroyed upon modification and you do not regain the weapon used to make the replaced form

• You may now change the damage type to your choice of piercing, bludgeoning, slashing, fire, cold, poison, or lightning damage add an extra D4 Aura (Force), Fire, Cold or Lightning Damage or upgrade it to 1D6 Aura Damage. Aura damage is equivalent to force damage.

• It is the maximum Force, Fire, Cold or Lightning Damage it can do.

• If you have magical talent, you may enchant your specialized weapon, making it magical and giving a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls (max 3)

• Instrumental weapons deal maximum thunder damage. It can deal is now increased to 4d6, though you still have to go through the process of upgrading you weapon at the rate of 1d6 per level to reach this max

Upon reaching 17th level, you may make new modifications to your specialized weapon. In addition, the restriction on having a specialized weapon with both the heavy and finesse/thrown properties is lifted:

• Increase the damage dice of a form of your specialized weapon, from 1d4 to 1d6, 1d6 to 1d8, 1d8 to 1d10, 1d10 to 1d12, 1d12 to 2d8

• Craft special ammunition or change the damage type of one form of your specialized weapon to any damage type

• Add an addition weapon form to your specialized weapon, up to three weapon forms (four if you have taken the Damage Makes you Stronger Semblance and kept the gauntlet forms)

• Enchant the weapon permanently to be able to store 6 spell slots worth of spells. The spell must be cast into the weapon upon modification, and when released as an action, it retains all the qualities it had upon casting, such as DC and spell level. Casting a spell out of the weapon via this modification expends no spell slots of the character though it does spend them on the weapon, but requires attunement.

• If your weapon is an instrument you can increase the weapon’s thunder damage die from a D6 to a D8, the maximum damage it can deal is now 4D8 instead of 4D6.

Clever players and tinkerous characters may come up with more bizarre machinations than listed here that they may wish to modify their weapon with. DMs should consider any such modifications with care, and make more unorthodox modifications more difficult to achieve. If desired a DM may have the character make an Intelligence check to design the modification and/or a Dexterity check to craft it, with a DC based on the unorthodoxy and complexity of the modification, or may require specific materials not available for normal purchase. Generally, these unorthodox modifications should provide no direct combat advantage, (such as a snack compartment, or parts that glow in darkness) or at least not more than modifications available for a given level. Non-weapon items may be used as modifications, giving the specialized weapon a new form, not limited by the number of weapon forms available. These items are destroyed upon modification.

Aura

Aura is an element less magical force that resides in all living things. When used in its pure state it is force damage, though if the wielder has a special semblance or other skills or techniques they can change the elemental nature of their Aura to any other they choose.

Aura Points

The ice shell is immune to cold, poison, and psychic damage, resists piercing and slashing damage, and is vulnerable to bludgeoning, fire, radiant and thunder damage. In normal heat, the ice shell loses 6 hit points per minute. In extreme heat, it loses 6 hit points per round.

Polarity

You have learned your semblance allows you to manipulate metal objects.

Change Trajectory

Attract or Throw Item

As a attack, you can use a metal item or an item with a metal component that is small to large in your line of sight. The max weight you can lift with this is 250lbs in 30 feet of you. You can Spend 1 Aura Point to use your Polarity to pull it to you or make a ranged attack with it against an enemy. For every 50lbs over 150lbs Spend an additional AP. If the item is a weapon it will deal its Normal Weapon Damage 1D, the type of damage is the weapon’s damage type (EX: Longsword 1D8 Slashing). If the item is any type of random assorted object or a piece of machinery or a tool it deals damage based off this information. 0.5lbs – 5lbs (1D4) / 6lbs – 10lbs (2D4) / 11lbs – 50lbs (1D6) / 51lbs – 100lbs (1D8) / 101lbs – 150lbs (2D6) / 151lbs – 200lbs (1D10) / 201lbs – 250lbs (2D8)

If you are disarmed by a spell, attack, etc. you can spend 1 AP to use this skill to pull your weapon back to you if it is metal or part of it is metal.

Magnetic Push

This can be in any direction that is in front of you. The enemy has to make a strength save against a DC of 8 + your Dex Mod + Proficiency Bonus. This does NOT provoke attacks of opportunity.

7th Level

If an ally in 30 feet of you in your flied of view is being attacked you can use your reaction and Spend 2 AP to move them up to 15 feet in any direction, as long as they are wearing something metal. This does NOT provoke an attack of opportunity, because the enemy can’t anticipate it.

11th level

You are now more proficient with moving multiple target at once with your Polarity. You can now move up to 3 items at once with Attract or Throw Item you have to spend an Aura Point for each additional item after the first one. Though if you use three items to attack an opponent each one after the first has disadvantage and you are limited to a max of 100 – 150lbs if you are controlling more than one.

15th Level

At this Point you have learned how to create a Magnetic shield to protect you and others next you from damage from damage.

Magnet Field

At 15th level, as a action you can spend 4 AP and create a Magnetic shield with a radius of 5 feet for two turns, centered on you. All ranged attacks against you and your allies inside the Magnet Field with metal projectiles have their damage halved (can’t go low than 1).
