D&D 5e Homebrew Class

If you like a magical flying arrow to be your main means of fighting and slow-motion walking as it rapes the battlefield then this class is for you. In addition,/or you could possibly substitute the arrow for a piece of spaghetti and become a magical Italian chef or a long piece of hair from your luscious locks.

First, make Constitution your highest ability score, as it’s not your mind that controls the arrow, it’s your heart, followed by Wisdom: for wisdom is what makes you so savvy.

Target Destination
Beginning at first level, not only can you use the arrow to attack, but also position within 60ft 3 of you (scales similar to Arrow range [Arrow Improvement])
Fast Flyer
At 2nd level, your quick thinking grants you the ability to maneuver your arrow through two targets per turn (Roll to hit still applies per target [Additional movement through another target added at levels 9,20])
Pierce Baby
At 3rd level, your Arrow’s strength grows with yours allowing it to pierce through 6 inches of wood to reach target destination. At 7th level, the arrow can pierce through 6in of stone. At 14th level, the arrow can pierce through 1ft of almost all material (at DM’s discretion)
Badass points
At 3rd level the Badassery of your actions comes at a cost. Badass points are rewarded (1)per kill (excluding plants) and actions like Inflame require a Badass point to cast. Starting at level 3, you have a total of 3 Badass points to store up to. You Gain 1 Badass Point Per Level
Inflame (1 point)
Becoming more in touch with your arrow, at 3rd level, grants you the ability to engulf the tip of the arrow in a vicious flame for a single turn. On contact with any flammable objects, ignites said object initially doing an additional +2 dmg as well as inflicting the fire damage tick. Casting with more Badass points increases the initial damage by 1 per point added
It’s Electric (2 points)
Becoming more in touch with your arrow, at 6th level, grants you the ability to harnesses the power of electricity to give a shocking blow to its target. On contact with any conductible surface, sends the charge through it initially doing +2 dmg as well as stunning the target for a single turn. Casting with more Badass points increases the initial damage by 1 per point added. Casting with additional Badass points that are a factor of 2 increase stun time by 1 turn
I’m Mary Poppins Ya’ll (3 points)
Becoming more in touch with your arrow, at 10th level, grants you the ability to channel the inner nostalgia of your childhood dreams to use your arrow as a holding point, and a glider. Grants feather falling and has 5ft of horizontal movement per 10ft of decent. Casting with additional Badass points that are a factor of 3 decrease the falling speed by 2 (caps at 2ft of decent)
Cloudy day (4 points)
Becoming more in touch with your arrow, at 11th level, the arrow gains the ability to summon Fog cloud from its barbs. Because you are just so badass, in addition to summoning Fog Cloud, you can see feint outlines of all shapes within the Fog Cloud. Casting with additional Badass points equal the amount required to cast, grants the Fog Cloud a poison element dealing 1d12 poison dmg (If failed Constitution save. Half dmg is applied if saved) to all within the cloud and poison dmg tick is applied for 4 turns.
Let’s Put Those Together (2 points)
Becoming more in touch with your arrow, at 15th level, grants the ability to tie two selected targets together. Casting with additional Badass points equal to the casting cost of previous elemental damage casts that ability through the thread that holds the two targets together.
On A Rampage
With a flurry of rage and precision, your arrow can quickly navigate through all targets, dealing 1/2th arrow damage. (Targets being hit is dependent on points used [Ex:5 points used= 5 targets hit] Roll to hit does not apply to all but the first target)
