Gourmet Hunter Superhuman Touch Techniques (5e Other)

Hair Feelers

Prerequisite: 3rd level, Superhuman Touch

• 5 Appetite Energy per round/5 Appetite Energy Every ten minutes outside of combat.

You can use your hair to survey an area that you must Concentrate on for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes you will uncover secrets of the environment or man-made hidden paths within a 100ft radius.

In combat, they can be activated as an action and will allow you to become aware of any living creature within 30ft of you that isn't hidden and a hidden creature must immediately make a dexterity (Stealth) check against your passive perception or be spotted. You learn the size of the creature, but you do not learn of its exact location unless you can see it. You will be considered concentrating while using this technique and by continuously concentrating on this technique you can expand the radius by 30ft as a bonus action, increasing its radius by 30ft, further increasing it by 30ft per instance up to a maximum of 150ft. If your feelers are attacked while surveying, they will immediately retract and the Gourmet Hunter will receive double the damage the feelers would have taken due to their sheer sensitivity, disrupting the survey. When you use this technique at 5th level, the initial range increases by 15ft, and its maximum increases to 225ft. Beginning at 8th level, your feelers no longer retract when damaged and your feelers will now take the normal damage dealt when surveying instead of yourself. The initial range increases again at levels 11 to (60ft) and maximum of (300ft) and again at 17th level to (100ft) initially to (500ft) maximum. Your multicolored hair also carries special effects depending on each color.

Hair Lock

Prerequisite: 3rd level, Superhuman Touch

• 10+ Appetite Energy

As a bonus action, You may use your feelers to attempt to entangle a creature that is medium-size or smaller within 10ft of you or your maximum hair feeler reach with your hair to restrain them. The creature must make a Strength saving throw against your Gourmet Hunter DC or be restrained by you until they successfully pass their saving throw. You may release the creature on your turn as a bonus action. The creature may attempt to break free at the start of each of their turn. If another creature attacks the hair restraining the target, your feelers will let go of the creature. Beginning at 8th level, when your hair is attacked it will instead take the damage normally, and will not let go of the creature unless reduced to 0HP and you will be able to entangle creatures that are size large. Finally, at 13th level, you may entangle huge creatures. When entangling a creature larger than medium increase the initial cost of this technique by 10 Appetite Energy for each size above medium.

Beginning at 13th level, they can lift an amount equal to your own lifting capacity. Additionally, your hair can expand to encompass most objects that are smaller than medium size and conveniently hide them in between its strands, any item larger would be easily noticed when carried.

If you also have the Hair Storage technique, you can utilize your feelers to increase your total carrying capacity.

With your newly acquired golden hair strands, the possibilities of how you can now utilize your hair feelers are endless.

This technique may also be activated as a bonus action on your turn for the same cost. Your hair has a maximum reach of 15ft initially, and can now be used to attack and will count as an unarmed attack. All damaging hair techniques can be used up to whatever your current maximum range reach is. Your hair feelers will have a damage die equal martial arts die plus one stage and can now deal your choice of slashing or piercing damage. Ex. d6->d8->d10, etc. The range of your Hair feelers will increase to 30 feet at 13th level and increase by two stages of your unarmed die instead of one and increase again at 17th level to three stages higher than your unarmed die with a maximum reach of 60 feet.

If it is a solid projectile attack, you will instead catch the projectile and will be able to throw it as an attack using your Gourmet Hunter attack modifier, dealing the projectile's normal damage on hit. The range at which the projectile can be thrown is equal to twice your current maximum hair feeler reach. For every 5 additional Appetite Energy spent, add an additional d6 to reduce the damage.

Prerequisite: 8th level, Dining Kitchen

• 25 Appetite Energy

As an action Using your hair feelers you can create a net of feelers that surround all creatures within a 5ft radius and a maximum range equal to your current hair feeler reach.

For the duration of this technique your current hair feeler HP will be halved and if your hair net is attacked and reduced to zero HP, it will open and release all creatures inside. If your net's HP is reduced to 0 HP while using this technique your feelers will retain the other half of their HP lost when initially using this technique without any excess damage carrying over.

For every 5 additional Appetite energy, you may increase the range of the cone by 5ft, increase the damage of the technique by an additional d6, or increase the radius of your slash by 5ft. Additionally, upon learning this technique, the tensile cutting strength of your feelers grows to allow you to deal double damage to all objects and constructs as even the largest of trees can fall to your slashes.

Starting at 13th level, you can designate a number of creatures equal to your Strength modifier (minimum of 1) who failed their dexterity saving throw to make a follow-up strength saving throw to then be pinned and suspended in the air by your feelers provided you can lift the combined weight of the creatures. Any attacks made by your feelers have advantage on creatures pinned in this manner.

Hair Operation

So long as the designated creatures are within your feeler's range, you may distribute as much healing to your allies from the rolled number as you desire. This technique can be used as an action, and cannot be used on yourself. For every additional 5 Appetite Energy, you may increase the healing pool die by an additional d6. Additionally, once the Gourmet Hunter reaches 13th level, you may spend up to an hour healing a creature to restore lost or damaged limbs and body parts by performing an advanced operation. Using this technique in this manner will increase its Appetite Energy cost and allow the creature to regain 30 hit points.
