Evasive Reflexes[edit]

Starting at 1st level, you can quickly evade a certain strike made against you. When a creature hit you with an attack, you can use a reaction to force your attacker to reroll. On a hit, you take only half damage.

If the new roll misses, you can move up to half your movement speed as part of the same reaction.

Once you use this feature, you can't do it again until you finish a short or a long rest.

Monster Slayer[edit]

Starting at 1st level, you are specialized in killing creatures of darkness. As a bonus action, you can analyze a non-humanoid creature you can see within 30 feet. Make an Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Perception) check against that target's AC.

On a success, you discover that creature's resistances, immunities, vulnerabilities and Actions. In addition, for the next minute, you cause additional 1d4 damage against creatures from that type.

On a failure, you can't use this feature on creatures of the same type until you finish a short rest.

Visceral Strike[edit]

At 2nd level, you can deliver a brutal strike against an enemy. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can force that creature to make a Constitution saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence or Wisdom modifier, whichever is higher).

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining uses after a long rest.
