Aura Points

At 1st level, your soul produces a natural protective energy the defends you from harm and powers your huntsman abilities called Aura. You gain 2 Aura Points at 1st level and gain 2 more each level as shown in the Aura Points column on the Table: The Huntsman. During a short rest, you recover a number of spent Aura Points equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum 1). You recover all spent aura points upon completing a long rest. You start knowing two such features: Protective Aura and Force Field. You gain more features as you gain more levels of huntsman.

Protective Aura

As a reaction, when you are hit by an attack, you may spend up to 3 aura points to increase your AC by the amount spent until the start of your next turn. You may use this feature a number of times equal to your constitution modifier(minimum 1), so long as you have the Aura Points to do so.

Force Field

As a reaction, when you take elemental damage you may spend 1 aura point to gain resistance to fire, lightning, acid, poison, thunder, or cold damage until the end of your next turn.

Specialized Weapon

When you become a huntsman at 1st level, you may craft a specialized weapon that is unique to you. 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.

Starting at first level, you gain the ability to make modifications to your specialized weapon. Using smith's or tinker's tools, you may spend a day and an amount of gold equal to half the original price of each component weapon to make modifications, although the first modification is free of cost (as it's part of making the weapon). You may make a number of modifications to your weapon equal to your level in the huntsman class, including all previous modifications you have made in the number of used modifications.

• You may add or remove a weapon property from one form of your specialized weapon.
• You may change the damage type of one form of your specialized weapon between slashing, piercing, and bludgeoning damage.
• If one form of your specialized weapon has the ammunition property, you may craft 20 of a special type of ammunition that deals your choice of slashing, piercing, bludgeoning, fire, cold, poison, or lightning damage. You may remake 5 shots of the same type over the course of a short rest, and 10 shots of the same type over the course of a long rest.
• Your weapon may make a form of your weapon be two different items, ex. Two swords or a sword and shield. The weapons you choose must not have the heavy or two-handed properties. If both forms of your weapon are two separate weapons they cannot be separated beyond 30 feet of one another, unless they are stolen dropped or forcefully separated in which case you can pay half the cost of remaking your weapon(or the cost of making a new one) to remake the one you lost.

Fighting Style

Starting at 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again. Whenever you gain a level in the Huntsman class, you may replace a fighting style you know with another style available. This change represents a shift of focus in your martial training and practice, causing you to lose the benefits of one style and gain the benefits of another style.

• Archery:

You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

• Blind Fighting:

Being unable to see a creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your attack rolls against it, provided the creature isn’t hidden from you.

• Close-Range:

You get a +1 to ranged attacks within 10 ft of the target, and you no longer attack at disadvantage when you use a ranged weapon in that range.

• Defense:

While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

• Dueling:

When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

• Great Weapon Fighting:

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

• Interception:

When a creature you can see hits a target that is within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.

• Mariner:

As long as you are not wearing heavy armor or using a shield, you have a swimming speed and a climbing speed equal to your normal speed, and you gain a +1 bonus to your AC.

• Protection:

When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.

• Two-Weapon Fighting:

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

• Tunnel Fighter:

As a bonus action, you can enter a defensive stance that lasts until the start of your next turn. While in your defensive stance, you can make opportunity attacks without using your reaction, and you can use your reaction to make a melee attack against a creature that moves more than 5ft while within your reach.

• Thrown Weapon Fighting:

You can draw a weapon that has the thrown property as part of the attack you make with the weapon. In addition, when you hit with a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you gain a +1 bonus to the damage roll.

• Unarmed Fighting:

Your unarmed strikes can deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier. If you strike with two free hands, the d6 becomes a d8. When you successfully start a grapple, you can deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage to the grappled creature. Until the grapple ends, you can also deal this damage to the creature whenever you hit it with a melee attack.

Semblance

Starting at 3rd level you may gain use of a semblance. Your semblance is a physical manifestation of your characters inner personality, ideals, or flaws. You may select any spell of 1st through 3rd level from the wizard spell list to "skin" as part of your semblance, so long as it does not deal damage. The semblance costs a number of Aura Points equal to the spells level to use. Your semblance is non-magical, and so may be used in an anti-magic field, and can only be countered by another semblance.

• If you wished to break the rules on spell level, spell list, damaging spells,use a unique effect that isn't similar to a spell, or Alternatively, a Semblance can mimic a 1st or 2nd class feature from another Class, then you and your DM may discuss a flaw to your semblance that balances out the effects it will have on your character and the world around them. For example,if a Huntress wanted to take advantage of a Barbarian's Rage as their semblance, this ability would cost two Aura points per round that it is active and would grant all the normal bonuses and penalties associated with the Rage feature. if you wanted a damaging spell you could require twice as many Aura Points to use it, or if you wanted to use the spell programmed illusion (as Neo's Semblance would probably use) you might become mute or blind. Alternatively you could have your semblance permanently active, in which case it could require you having the cost subtracted from your maximum Aura Points permanently. These examples are simply loose interpretations meant to leave the ability open for people to enjoy.
• Spells like *counterspell,* and *dispel magic* do not work on semblances (because they are not spells), but in most other cases magic beats out semblances entirely. Also, counterspell or dispel magic semblances would only work on other semblances.

Learned Technique

At 3rd level, you choose a Learned Technique. Choose between Fury, Martial-Artist, Sentimental, Sniper, Bullet Storm, Shadow, Dust Meister, Tactician, Maiden of The Seasons all detailed at the end of the class description.
