Sniper (5e Class)

Sniper

Highly trained units specialized in taking out targets from extreme distances, snipers are the most dangerous of classes. As a sniper, not only are you trained to use a rifle, but you also become an expert in stealth, reconnaissance, and observation, allowing you to do what you do best, which is shoot your enemies when they're unaware and protect your allies. Snipers usually work in a team with a spotter and a flanker but they are prepared at all times to complete the mission on their own if necessary. Basically a mix between a soldier and a ranger. Be warned, your weakness is surviving close combat.

Creating a Sniper

Where did you learn to be a sniper? Were you self taught? Why did you choose to specialize in long distance shooting rather than becoming an all around soldier or choosing some other discipline? Are you cold-hearted and impersonal like the stereotype? Or are you able to separate your personality from your work?

Optional Rule: Firearm Proficiency

If your Dungeon Master uses the rules on firearms in chapter 9 of the Dungeon Master's Guide and your sniper has been exposed to the operations of such weapons, your sniper is proficient with them.

Sniper's Nest

At 1st level, given enough time, you can prepare hidden sniper nests. You take 10 minutes to construct a nest that occupies a 10-foot square area.

While inside the nest, you have three-quarters cover, and can see out of it unhindered. Neither you nor the nest can be seen by any creature more than 30 feet away, even if you make an attack from inside, though you can still be heard and detected by divination spells that penetrate more than one inch of solid material.

A creature within 10 feet of the nest can detect its presence with an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your Sniper save DC. Your Sniper Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier.

Once you leave a nest, you can't benefit from the same nest again.

Aimed Shot

Starting at 1st level, you take aim at a target and make a precision shot against a target you can see within range. Once per turn, when you make a ranged weapon attack with advantage, you cause additional 1d6 damage with that attack. This damage increase as you gain levels in this class, as shown on the Aimed Shot table above.

You don't need advantage on your attack roll if your target is greater than 30 feet from you and no enemies are within 5 feet of you, or if neither you or your target have changed position since your last turn.

Additionally, standing up from prone now only costs 5 feet of movement.

Cunning Action

Starting at 2nd level, your quick thinking and agility allow you to move and act quickly. You can take a bonus action on each of your turns in combat. This bonus action can be used to take the Hide and Search action.

Sniper Archetype

At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate in your combat styles and techniques. Choose Assault Team, Contract Killer, Marksman, Gunsmith or Hunter. Your choice of archetype gives you additional features at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 18th level.

Placed Shots

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to aim at specific targets on your opponents body to elicit specific effects. When you deal Aimed Attack damage to a creature, you may choose to forgo two of your Aimed Attack dice to make the attack a placed shot.

Elementals, undead creatures and creatures without a well defined anatomy (like oozes) can't be targeted with these effects.

When an effect requires a saving throw, use your Sniper Save DC.

You know two placed shots from the list below, and learn two additional ones at 6th and 14th levels.

Eye Shot

The target must make a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of your next turn.

Creatures without eyes are immune to this effect.

Leg Shot

The target must make a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

Creatures without legs or not using legs for movement are immune to this effect.

Wing Shot

The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. If it fails, it has its movement speed halved and it has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws until the end of its next turn.

The target must be flying using wings to be affected by this shot.

Hand Shot

The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be forced to drop one item of your choice that it's holding. The object lands at its feet.

This affect hands or any other limb that is being used to hold an object (such as tails or tentacles for example).

Head Shot

The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be Stunned until the end of its next turn, or until it suffers damage, which happens first. Creatures Large or taller have advantage on this saving throw.

Creatures without a head or with multiple heads are immune to this effect.

Chest Shot

The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw, or is pushed 15 feet back. Creatures Large or taller have advantage on this saving throw.

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.

Disappear

By 5th level, you are a true master of stealth, capable of fading into thin air. As a reaction when you take damage, you can use this ability to move up to 5 feet without provoking opportunity attacks and attempt to Hide as part of the same reaction, if there's a hiding spot within reach (such as a shadow or a object or structure tall and wide enough to conceal your presence).

You can also use this reaction if you make an attack while unseen.

Hawk Eye

Starting at 6th level, you can see up to 1 mile away with no difficulty, able to discern even fine details as though looking at something no more than 100 feet away from you.

Additionally, you have advantage on your Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.

Assassination

At 9th level, you are at your deadliest when your enemies are unaware of the danger they are in. You have advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn in combat yet.

Additionally, any hit you score against a creature that is surprised is a critical hit.

Close-Quarters Shooting

At 10th level, you learn to handle yourself in close combat. Making a ranged attack roll while within 5 feet of an enemy doesn’t impose disadvantage on your roll.

In addition, if you hit a creature within 5 feet of you with a ranged attack on your turn, that creature can’t take reactions until the end of this turn.

Cover Shot

At 13th level, you are able to defend your compatriots from afar. When a friendly creature you can see within your weapon's normal range is the target of a ranged attack, or forced to make a saving throw, and the source of the effect is within your weapon's short range, you can use your reaction to make a ranged weapon attack against the source.

On a hit, instead of causing damage, the target of your attack has disadvantage on the attack roll against your ally, or your ally has advantage on the saving throw to resist the effect.

Adjust Aim

At 14th level, when you miss an attack with a ranged weapon on your turn, your next attack with a ranged weapon against the same target have advantage, until the end of your next turn.

Overwatch

Beginning at 17th level, if you are wielding a ranged weapon, and a hostile creature that you can see moves into or within the normal range of that weapon, you can use your reaction to make an opportunity attack against that creature using your ranged weapon.

True Sniper

When you reach the 20th level, your precision is unmatched by any other creature. Your Dexterity and Wisdom score increase by 4, up to a maximum of 24.

Assault Team

You work best at a time, operating with a partner with whom you can coordinate your attacks.


Sniper Team by Richard Sashigane

Cohort

At 3rd level, you gain a loyal cohort to who carries your banner and does battle in your name. Use the statistics of the scout for your cohort; following an 8-hour initiation period, that creature becomes your cohort. You can have only one cohort at a time.

If your cohort is ever slain, you can raise them from the dead by the usual methods, such as the raise dead spell, or you can spend 8 hours initiating a new cohort. If you do so, your previous cohort loses all abilities granted by your True Loyalty ability, even if it is later returned to life.

The cohort obeys your commands as best it can. Your cohort takes its turn immediately before or after your turn (your choice), and you determine its actions, decisions, attitudes, and so on. If you are incapacitated or absent, your companion acts on its own.

Your cohort has abilities and game statistics determined in part by your sniper level. Your cohort uses your proficiency bonus rather than its own.

Your cohort gains proficiency in skills listed in its statistics. It also gains proficiency with simple weapons, martial weapons, light, medium, or heavy armor if its statistics contain weapons or armor from that category. For each sniper level you gain after 2nd, your cohort gains an additional hit die and increases its hit points accordingly.

Whenever you gain the Ability Score Improvement class feature, your cohort’s abilities also improve. Your cohort can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or it can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, your companion can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature unless its description specifies otherwise.

Your cohort’s alignment is within one step of you own, and has a personality trait and flaw determined by the DM. Its bond is always, “I will follow my commander into any fray, and I will gladly fight by his/her side until my death.”

Team Defense

At 7th level, while your cohort can see you, they have advantage on all saving throws.

Coordinated Volley

At 11th level, your cohort can use an action to make a ranged attack against any number of creatures within 10 feet of a point they can see within their weapon's range. They must have ammunition for each target, as normal, and must make a separate attack roll for each target.

At 15th level, whenever an attacker that your cohort can see hits them with an attack, they can use their reaction to halve the attack’s damage against them.

Superior Coordinated Attack

At 18th level, you can use your action to make a special ranged attack. You cannot make this attack roll with disadvantage, and you have advantage on your attack roll. On a hit, you deal double damage, bypassing all damage resistances. If your teammate can see you, they can use their reaction to make the same special attack.

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

Creatures of Large size or larger have advantage on the save. This doesn't work against creatures that don't have a head.

On a failed save, the target is reduced to 0 hit points. On a success, you can't use this feature against the same target again for the next 24 hours.

On a success or failure, you can't use your Sneak Attack again until the end of your next turn.

You appear in a spot of your choice within 5 feet of the destination tree, using another 5 feet of movement. If you have no movement left, you appear within 5 feet of the tree you entered.
