Gunslinger

You’re a remarkable shot and always have been. Starting at 1st level, you can choose to gain +1 to the first ranged attack you make on your turn. This increases to +2 at 7th level and +3 at 13th level. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier before finishing a short rest. Additionally, you can use a ranged weapon as a melee weapon, whipping the opponent mercilessly with it. The weapon deals 1d4 + your Strength modifier bludgeoning damage. This increases to 1d6 at 7th level and 1d8 at 13th level. In addition, at 7th level, being within 5 feet of a creature does not impose disadvantage on ranged attack rolls.

At Home Anywhere

Starting at 1st level, your inability to stay in one place for too long has given you a good sense of the nature of nature. While you may not have visited every location in the world you can make easy assumptions about the lands you walk based on previous experience. If you spend a week in one area familiarizing yourself with that are it becomes your new “Home.” You know the shadowy corners, you understand the basic flow of the city, you know the best places to find food. This extends in a one mile radius from a general location that you choose.

While you remain in this area you gain the following benefits:

• When making an Intelligence or Wisdom based check related to your Home, your proficiency bonus is doubled if you are using a skill that you are proficient in
• Difficult terrain doesn’t slow your movement
• You and your group can not become lost while you are leading, except by magical means
• You remain alert to danger, even while engaged in other activities
• You have advantage on Stealth checks if alone
• You can always find something edible freely, even when there appears to be no food, unless the GM states otherwise
• While tracking your other creatures you learn their exact number, sizes, how long ago they passed through this area, and their general health condition
• You are treated with leniency by whatever guard force is within the area; major infractions will still have repercussions.

At 7th level this range increases to a two-mile radius. At 13th level this range increases to a three-mile radius.

Spellcasting

By the time you reach 2nd level, you have been in enough scrapes to understand the importance of magic. As such you have spent some time learning from the wise sages of every place you have visited. Their words have resonated with you, guiding you on your path to a more peaceful future. This occasional peace of mind and storied lore is where you draw your magical power from.

Spell Slots

The glitch hunter table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st level spell Highlight and have a 1st level and a 2nd level spell slot available, you can cast Highlight using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know two 1st level spells of your choice from the glitch hunter spell list.

The Spells Known column of the glitch hunter table shows when you learn more glitch hunter spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the glitch hunter spells you know and replace it with another spell from the glitch hunter spell list, which must also be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your glitch hunter spells, since your magic draws on the words of those wiser than yourself. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. You also use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a glitch hunter spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Hunter Style

At 3rd level you choose your preferred hunting style. Each style relies on different methods to reach the same goal.

The hunting styles are Slayer, Protean, and Shade. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 20th.

Power Up

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. Alternatively, you can gain one feat. You cannot increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Spell Chamber

At 6th level you have become so in tune with you ranged weapon that you can safely load a spell into your next shot. Using the normal rules for the spell’s casting times, you channel it into a ranged weapon. The spell’s normal range is replaced by that of the weapon you are using, but not the area of effect. The weapon is charged with that spell for 1 minute and expelled with your next shot from that weapon. The spell is released once the bolt makes impact, even if it does not hit the target. You may not take a normal shot with that ranged weapon until you have released the spell. You may remove the spell from the weapon by using a bonus action, but do not recover the expended spell slot. The spell used must be one that you know and that you have spell slots for. Only you may load spells into your ranged weapon. If you are within a spell’s area of effect when it is released, you are subject to the effects of the spell as well. You must finish a short rest before you can use this feature again. At 18th level you can use this feature twice before taking a short rest. This feature has different effects depending on which type of area of effect your weapon (not the spell) has:

• Single Shot: The shot is fired, and the spell takes effect on impact
• Cone: If the spell normally attacks a single target, the spell damage is split evenly between all hit targets. If the spell has an area of effect, that is changed to the cone area of the weapon and all targets make their saving throw against the spell with disadvantage.

Bug Basher

At 9th level, you are able to track down corrupted creatures with ease. You can sense the existence of a corrupted creature within 300 feet and know its general direction. You gain a bonus to Survival checks to track creatures with corruption and a bonus to damage rolls against creatures with corruption equal to the number of corruption layers they have. Additionally, you gain the Cure/Cause Corruption spell if you do not already know it.

Get ‘Em

At 10th level you can tell when a bounty is about to abandon courage and run. As a reaction you can move up to 15 feet and make a grapple attack against any creature who is trying to run away from you or your party, even if they have taken the Disengage option.

Peekaboo

At 18th level you can no longer be fooled by a hostile invisible enemy. Your tracking skills have been honed so greatly that even slight changes to pressure in the air, a faint sense of heat or cold, and nearly imperceptible sounds have become like beacons to you. You have advantage on Wisdom checks pertaining to invisible enemies within 60 feet of you. You suffer no penalty to attack rolls when fighting an invisible creature. Attack rolls made by the invisible creature do not have advantage against you and you can use your reaction to negate the advantage on allied creatures that can hear you. The creature is considered unobscured to you, even though you cannot actually see them. You know its general location and can tell your party members this.

Slayer Style

Slayers match their title, being furious creatures of death on the battlefield. The excel in danger and often laugh death in the face. Their life is fast and furious, overflowing with close calls and unlikely survival. They are only capable of this because if their incredible skill in battle. They understand that luck is a finite resource and never lean on it to get through. If you find yourself hunted by a slayer, there is no wall high enough, no armor thick enough, and no magic powerful enough to keep you from their wrath.

Furious Melee

At 3rd level, melee attacks made with the Gunslinger feature score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

Will Shield

At 3rd level, your body begins to generate a faint energy shield around it while in combat. At the beginning of your turn, so long as you have taken no damage since the start of your last turn and have no temporary hit points, you gain temporary hit points equal to half your glitch hunter level (rounded down). This feature becomes inactive if you gain more temporary hit points than half your glitch hunter level and remains inactive until you have 0 temporary hit points. You lose all temporary hit points from this feature whenever you finish a short or long rest.

Frenzy

At 7th level with this style, you can enter a heightened state of aggression for 1 minute. During this time all your ranged weapon attacks score a critical hit on a 19 or 20, you are aware of the exact locations of each creature within 60 feet of you (even if they are invisible or behind a barrier), and you can make an additional ranged attack as a bonus action. If attacking your Prey, your ranged weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 18-20. Additionally, each time you drop a creature to 0 hit points while using this feature, you can either recover an expended hit dice or use one of your remaining hit dice to heal yourself. This ability ends if you drop to 0 hit points or if you make no attack rolls on your turn. You must finish a long rest before using this feature again.

Wary

At 11th level you are so cautious in every situation that very few can even lay a hand on you. If a creature makes an attack roll against you, you can use your reaction to add your Dexterity modifier to your AC against the attack, even if you have already added it to determine your original AC. You can do this after the attack roll is made but before you know the result. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once) before finishing a long rest.

At 15th level in this class, if an attack roll against you has advantage, you can use your reaction to add both your Dexterity modifier and your Wisdom modifier to your AC.

Hair Trigger

At 15th level, you can ignore the loading property on any weapons that have it, making as many attacks on a turn with the weapon as you are able and reloading weapons that use energy cores takes a bonus action. Additionally, if you attack only with ranged weapons on your turn, you can make three attacks, instead of two, when you take the attack action.

Infinite Ammo

At 20th level you are never without ammunition. Whenever you hold a ranged weapon, you can create appropriate ammunition from nowhere. Weapons with Energy do not need an energy core to fire and do not use their energy core to fire. These attacks are considered magical for the purposes of overcoming resistances. Additionally, each time you fire a non-magical ranged weapon, you can choose to imbue the shot with magic, giving the ammunition up to +3 to attack and damage rolls. You can do this a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once) before finishing a long rest. This feature can be used on any average ranged weapon designed for medium sized creatures but can only be used to create ammunition for weapons designed for Large sized or larger creatures (or on things such as cannons or ballistae) a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once) before finishing a long rest. You can imbue the larger shots with the +3 bonus as well or use the Spell Chamber feature on them upon creation.

~~~ Protean Style

A protean hunter relies heavily on versatile equipment, balanced skills, and specialized hunting to take down their prey. Each one is unique, developing their own quirky combinations to hunt in a way only they could. Though they may look odd carrying a mishmash of armor and weapons, they should never be underestimated. Given enough prep time, there is no target too strong and no environment too harsh for them to conquer.

Learned Lessons

When you choose this style at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with another skill or tool of your choice. You gain proficiency with another skill or tool of your choice again at 11th level in this class.

Specialized Upgrade

At 3rd level you have either crafted or found a few pieces of equipment that grants you a small advantage in the world. Choose two from the list below. The item should reflect your travels; work with your GM to determine what you may have found or created. How the item is integrated into your attire or weaponry is up to you. Though the item can be taken away by other creatures, it is only effective for you. Unless otherwise specified, the items do not require attunement and cannot stack their effect with other items (with stronger items overwriting them). You find two more bits of equipment at 7th, 11th, 15th, and 20th level. You cannot choose the same upgrade more than once. There may be other upgrades throughout the world, but few will be more powerful than a 1st level spell or +1 piece of equipment; work with your GM to determine what extra equipment may be out there.
