Work In Progress

Devil Hunter

A tiefling warrior smirks as he steps onto the battlefield, gripping his crossbow and blade. He lets out a smug laugh as he dives into the crowd of fiends. Before they even have a chance to react, he sweeps through their numbers, quickly swapping through his large arsenal of blades and bows. With one final smirk, the man's body transforms, becoming as fiendish as the creatures around him. He thrusts his greatsword into the crowd, tearing through all their bodies, leaving naught but shadows in his wake.

Amidst a blood soaked battlefield, a half-elf duelist plants his longsword into the ground, rotating the hilt as it revs with fiery energy. He laughs triumphantly as he thrusts his right arm outward, projecting a large spectral arm which drags his opponent toward him. With a quick transformation into a fiendish form and a brutal swing of his blade, the half-elf explosively cleaves his foe in half.

A human stands alone, perusing the contents of a book. With a twirl of his cane and a flip of the page, nightmarish fiends manifest before him. Graceful as a conductor, he directs them in graceful harmony, obliterating the straw target in front of him. As he calmly closes the book, the fiends vanish, ready to be called upon again at a moment's notice.

With equal parts style, brutality, and poise, the devil hunter moves like a bat out of hell to cleave the battlefield in twain. A variety of armaments, maneuvers, and allies serve these awe-inspiring hunters to transform life-or-death engagements into their own personal entertainment. Though they come in many forms, devil hunters are all tenacious warriors who share a common goal and will dive into the darkest depths in their quest to exterminate the minions of the Underworld. Fiends of all kinds beware—these slayers are packing devilish power fearsome enough to make even the devil cry.

Birthright of Fiends

Though they are called devil hunters, their quarry is not limited to fiends. Rather, devil hunters derive their name from powers from their ties to devils and demons alike. Some are the descendants of such fiends, while other may have been affected by fiends in more mysterious ways. The touch of demon, a deal gone wrong with a devil, or a haphazard journey to the Abyss may have awakened the fiend inside.

Though light on their feet and quick with their blades, the bloodline of fiends makes devil hunters incredibly resilient, among other benefits. By learning to harness these fiendish powers and mastering their combat prowess, they discover and perfect new ways of unleashing fury on the battlefield.

Masters of Style

Masters of Style For a devil hunter, the mastery of style is of utmost importance. Style is the lifeblood of combat for devil hunters, keeping their fights entertaining, but also graceful and light. Devil hunters harness this power to create fiendish effects and perform beyond their bodies' capabilities. As they gain experience, their flair and elegance allow them to sweep through their foes, leaving only a show for those to watch.

Creating a Legendary Devil Hunter

As you make your devil hunter character, think about the origin of your power, and what that may entail. Are you a descendant of a legendary devil with a legacy to fulfill? Are you merely someone who had an unfortunate encounter with the Abyss? Or are you the product of your ancestor's dealings with a devil?

How do you feel about the fiendish power that resonates within you? Do you embrace it, or is it a mark of embarrassment? Is it a blessing or curse? Did you seek this power, or did it seek you? Did you have the option to refuse it, and do you wish you had? What do you intend to do with your power? Was it given to you to protect others? Or to subjugate them?

Equally important is why you fight. For a devil hunter, fights are sources of entertainment. Do you hold back to give your opponents a fair chance? Or do you unleash all that you have to see how long they may last? What kind of warrior are you motivated to be? Is there a certain person or creature that you are trying to defeat? Or do you seek a rival that can match your abilities? Consider how you might feel when faced with a foe beyond your abilities, and how you may feel after winning or losing against it.

Unarmored Defense

Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier.

Devil Sense

At 1st level, you can use your action to focus your fiendish awareness on the area around you. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any aberration, celestial, devils, or fiends within 60 feet of you that isn't behind total cover and that isn't protected from divination magic. You know the type (aberration, celestial, devil, or fiend) of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity or capabilities.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Charisma modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

In addition, when attacking a devil or fiend, you get +2 to the damage of attacks. You also have advantage on Wisdom checks to track devils and fiends and Intelligence checks when it comes to recalling or learning new information about devils and fiends.

• Mariner:

• 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. You must be wielding a shield or a simple or melee martial weapon to use this reaction.

• Protection:

Additionally, when using a pistol, you no longer attack at disadvantage when within 5ft of a creature.

• Lancer

When wielding a lance, you no longer suffer disadvantage on attack rolls against a creature within 5ft of you and lances may now be wielded in one hand. Additionally, Lances you wield now deal 2d6 instead of 1d12.

While wielding an improvised weapon, you are considered proficient. Your unarmed attacks and improvised weapon damage rolls now add your proficiency bonus to the roll.

• Rider

You gain the benefits of the Mounted Combatant feat.

Devilish Style Points

Starting at 2nd level, your devilish power allows you to harness style and grace with every movement. Your ability to tap into style is represented by a number of Devilish Style Points. Your Devil Hunter level determines the number of points you have, as shown by the Devilish Style Points column of the Devil Hunter table.

You can spend these points to fuel various stylish features. You start knowing two such features: Charged Shot, Witty Taunt, and High Time. You learn more stylish features as you gain levels in this class.

When you spend a Devilish Style Points, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which your style is replenished anew.

Some of your style features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Style Arts DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier.

Stylish Art- Charged Shot

You can spend 5 Devilish Style Points to infuse your ranged weapon with fiendish energy when you take the Attack Action with a ranged weapon. When you do so, add force damage equal to your Distortion Die to the attack damage ignore the loading property until the end of your turn.

Stylish Art- Witty Taunt

As an action, you may spend 5 Devilish Style Points to taunt your enemy in a way that only a Devil Hunter can. When you use this Art, you cast the Vicious Mockery cantrip at 1 target enemy creature, at lowest tier. Your casting attribute for this spell is Charisma. The Wisdom test they take is against your Style Save DC. The target must also use all of its movement and actions to attack you on its next turn. This is not a Stylish Art that counts as using your weapon.

Stylish Art- High Time

You have learned to move and attack with such force and speed that you are able to perform acrobatic combat feats in the air, as well as send your enemies flying.

You may spend 10 Devilish Style Points as an action to target a creature that is Large or smaller. Make an attack roll. If you hit, the creature takes damage equal to your melee attack + Distortion Die. The creature must then pass Constitution check against your Style DC. If passed, nothing happens. If failed, the creature is launched 10 feet in the air, then falls and lands in front of you knocked prone. You may then follow up with Stylish combos as normal.

Distortion

Your stylish features may use a Distortion Die, a d4. This die changes as you gain Devil hunter levels, as shown in the Distortion column of the Devil Hunter table.

Devil Hunter Archetype

Starting at 3rd level, you choose an archetype for which to hone your fiendish powers. Choose Dark Knight, Dark Slayer, Devil Breaker, Mysterious One, Fiendish Fatale, or Mannequin, all detailed at the end of the class description. The archetype you choose grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 11th, 14th, and 18th level.

Devil Arms

At Level 3, you bind yourself to favored weapons, pouring a fraction of your power into it, and creating and unbreakable bond with it (except by you) as long as you live.

You can transform a weapon into a Devil Arm by performing a Special ritual while you hold the weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a Short Rest. You can then dismiss the weapon, shunting it into an extradimensional space. It will then be one of the weapons you may summon. You can’t affect an artifact or a sentient weapon in this way, though you can do this to a magic weapon. The weapon ceases being your Devil Arm if you die or if you use a 1-hour ritual to break your bond to it. The weapon appears at your feet if it is in the extradimensional space when the bond breaks. There is no limit to the number of Devil Arms you may have.

You can use a Bonus action to summon a Devil Arm in your empty hand. You can choose which one appears, if you have multiple. This weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming Resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. You may count a Devil Arm as having the Finesse and Light trait, if it does not already have it and does not have the Heavy trait. You are proficient with all Devil Arms.

Your Devil Arm disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute or more. It also disappears if you use this feature again, if you dismiss the weapon (no action required), or if you die.

Finally at 11th level, you may transform relic weapons into Devil Arms.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

When you gain the Extra Attack feature, this special attack can be used for any of the attacks you make as part of the Attack action.

Doppelganger

Beginning at 6th level, you learn how to project a fraction of your devilish power to manifest a magical copy of yourself. You gain the following trait:

• Doppelganger.

You can use a bonus action to split off a piece of your demonic energy as a ghostly echo of yourself in an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you. This echo is a magical, translucent, blue-gray image of you that lasts for 5 minutes or until it is destroyed, until you dismiss it as a bonus action, or until you're incapacitated.

Your Doppelganger has AC equal to yours, 1 hit point, and immunity to all conditions. If it has to make a saving throw, it uses your saving throw bonus for the roll. It is the same size as you, and it occupies its space. On your turn, you can mentally command the echo to move up to 30 feet in any direction (no action required). Choose the direction it is facing after the move. If your echo is ever more than 40 feet from you at the end of your turn, it is destroyed.

As a bonus action, you can teleport, magically swapping places with your Doppelganger at a cost of 15 feet of your movement, regardless of the distance between the two of you.

Your Doppelganger copies any Stylish Arts or Attack Actions you perform. It requires the same hit roll as you. Any damage caused by it is counted as Force damage, and is reduced to half, rounded down, to a minimum of 1. It does not change the direction it is facing when coping your actions. It does not copy any Summoned Swords attacks or techniques, instead making a single melee attack directly to its front, whether there is a target there or not. (Example: If you use Rapid Slash, your Doppelganger will do so as well, moving in a straight line in the direction it was facing. If you take the Attack action, the Doppelganger does so as well, and attacks the same number of times as you). Your doppelganger's actions will not hit you.

Your Doppelganger can intercept attacks made against you. As a reaction, you can have it teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you. The doppelganger is the new target of the attack. If there is no open space, the doppelganger cannot intercept the attack.

Your Doppelganger lasts for 5 minutes and ends early if you are reduced to 0 hit points or die, or if the Doppelganger is reduced to 0 hit points. You can use this feature twice, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest.

Summoned Sword Techniques

Also at 6th level, while in your Devil Trigger form, you may expend Devilish Style Points to perform special techniques with your Summoned Swords. You learn one of these techniques. You learn another technique at 11th level, 14th level, and 18th level.

Each time you learn a new Summoned Sword Technique, you can also replace one Summoned Sword Technique you know with a different one.

• Blistering Swords.

When you take the Attack action and use Summoned Swords as a part of it, you can spend 5 Devilish Style Points to make the Summoned Swords attack twice as a bonus action.

• Heavy Rain Swords.

You can use an action to expend 10 Devilish Style Points to rain down Summoned Swords. Choose a point within 60 feet. Each creature within 5 feet of the point must make a Dexterity saving throw or take force damage equal to two rolls of your Distortion Die. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage. The damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to three rolls at 11th level, and four rolls at 17th level.

• Spiral Swords.

You can use a bonus action to expend 5 Devilish Style Points to surround yourself with 10 spinning Summoned Swords. Any creature that begins its turn within 5 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw or take damage equal to that of your Summoned Swords. Regardless of the success or failure of the saving throw, a sword is consumed. The swords last until all 10 swords are consumed, or if you dismiss them as a bonus action.

• Storm Swords.

You can use an action to expend 10 Devilish Style Points to surround a target within 30 feet with spinning Summoned Swords until the end of your next turn. If the target willingly moves before then, it immediately takes force damage equal to three rolls of your Distortion Die, and the swords are consumed. The damage increases when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to four rolls at 11th level, and five rolls at 17th level.

Sin Devil Trigger

At 11th level, you gain the ability to unleash the full extent of fiendish power inside. As a bonus action you may expend 1 use of Doppelganger to activate Sin Devil Trigger and gain the following benefits:

• You gain temporary hit points equal to your devil hunter level. These temporary hit points last until the end of your Devil Trigger.
• You gain Resistance to Necrotic and Fire damage
• When you take the Attack action and use Summoned Swords as part of it, double the number of Summoned Swords used.
• You gain a flying speed of 60 feet.
• Your Size increases to Large
• Judgement Cut End has its range increased to 30 feet.
• When you deal damage with your Stylish Arts, add your Charisma modifier to that damage.

That weapon is modified into an Exceed weapon and counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

The weapon ceases being an Exceed weapon if you die, if you modify another weapon, or if you spend 1 hour to disable it.

When you hit a creature with a melee attack from your Exceed weapon, you can spend up to 5 Devilish Style Points to a maximum of 15 Devilish Style Points to deal fire damage to the target, in addition to the weapon's damage. The extra damage is 2d8 for 5 Devilish Style Points, plus 1d8 for 5 Devilish Style Points each higher than 5. The tier Die increases by 2 (d12) if the target is an aberration or fiend.

• Maximum Bet.

While you are under the effects of your Devil Trigger, you can unleash a powerful slash of fiendish energy using your Exceed weapon. You can forgo one of your attacks to make a ranged spell attack with a range of 30 feet. You are proficient with it, and you add your Exceed weapon's modifier to its attack and damage rolls. Its damage is necrotic, and a bonus damage die equal to your Distortion Die.

Snatch/Hell Bound

Beginning at 14th level, you may use your action to spend 5 Devilish Style Points to snatch a creature that is Large or smaller within 60 feet. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pulled within 5 feet of you. If the target succeeds, you may instead pull yourself within 5 feet of the target.

MAX-Act

At 18th level, your Exceed weapon is so enveloped in fiery energy that all of its attacks ignite. Whenever you hit a creature with your Exceed weapon, the creature takes an extra 1d8 fire damage.
