Path of the Slayer, Variant (5e Subclass)
Sabertooth"I've been ready to die since before you was born!"
Path of the Slayer[edit]
Barbarian Subclass
- Signature Weapon
At 3rd level, choose one melee weapon you are proficient in. While wielding this weapon, you gain +2 to damage rolls. Your signature weapon counts as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.
- Bolstering Rage
At 3rd level while raging, your Strength ability score increases by 2, up to a maximum of 22. In addition, you can choose to use Strength, instead of Dexterity for determining your unarmored defense.
- Prey Sense
The evil inside you drives you to stalk and hunt a specific target. As a bonus action, you may cast the hunter's mark spell at 1st level. Constitution is your spellcasting ability modifier for this spell. You may cast this spell at higher levels as you gain levels in this class: 2nd at 6th level, 3rd at 9th level, 4th at 13th level and 5th at 17th level.
- They Always Come Back
At 6th level, if an attack would reduce your hit points to 0 or fewer, you may choose to be rendered prone and have that attack reduce you to 1 hit point, gaining the effects of the feign death spell. This illusion persists until you choose to move or take any action. Other creatures can move or manipulate your body without ending this effect. If you spend a full round under this disguise without taking an action, you may spend hit dice to heal (as if taking a short rest) without ending the illusion.
You may use this ability a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier before requiring a long rest.
- Unstoppable
At 6th level, you gain additional abilities against targets of your Prey Sense. As long as you and your marked target are on the same plane of existence, you are magically aware of the general direction and distance of your target, even if they are invisible or magically prevented from leaving tracks.
While traveling toward your marked target, you are immune to fatigue, and do not gain exhaustion levels. While within 5 ft. of your target, all bludgeoning, slashing and piercing damage dealt by the target is reduced by your Constitution modifier.
- Behind You...
At 10th level, you may use a free action to teleport up to a mile away. If a creature targeted by your Prey Sense feature, you may teleport to their location, appearing 5 ft. behind them. You may only do this if you are not being directly observed by any creature.
