Monster Slayer Conclave (5e Subclass)
Monster Slayer Conclaves[edit]
Ranger Subclass
The members of this conclave are formidable monster hunters. Known for having evolved after undergoing mutation, they have become stronger and more dangerous than humans. Their senses are heightened, and they learn to use Sigils and alchemy. They also specialize in the use of long swords, or more rarely axes. They always carry two. The first is made of iron or steel. The second is made of silver.
Limitation: Human only. Your DM can lift this restriction to better suit your campaign.
- Hunter Skill
Starting at 3rd level, you are an experienced and skilled hunter. You gain the following benefits:
- You are proficient with alchemical tools. If you already have them, your proficiency bonus is doubled on checks with that tool.
- In addition, you gain proficiency with the Nature skill. If you already have it, choose another skill from the options available to the Ranger class. As an action, you can make an Intelligence check (Nature/Arcana/Religion) to learn a creature's strengths, advantages, and weaknesses (DC set by the DM). You can also recognize a beast by its tracks if you succeed on a Nature, Arcana, or Religion check, depending on the creature. If the creature is one of your sworn enemies, you have advantage on the check, as described in the "Sworn Enemies" skill.
- Hunter's Acronym
At 3rd level, you lose the ability to cast spells. However, in return, you gain the ability to use your spell slots and cantrips from your hunter sigils. The acronyms will be listed at the end of the page.
Namely, when you unlock this subclass, you can unlock two acronyms. You then gain an additional acronym at 7th, 11th, and 15th levels.
To use your sigils, you use spell slots or not. And to regain your slots, you would regain them during a long rest. Your sigil DCs and attack roll bonuses are the same as those of a regular ranger.
- Hunter's Potion
Finally at 3rd level, you are able to concoct potions, poisons, and oils. To make these, you must use alchemist's tools and sometimes herbalist's tools. You do not need a poisoner's kit for your poisons. You learned to make them with the specified tools.
Your concoctions will be listed at the end of the page. You know a number of concoctions equal to your proficiency bonus + half your level.
When you take a potion-type concoction, you must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (equal to the value given by the concoction). If you fail the save, you suffer the poisoned condition for the duration of the concoction that gave it to you. Namely, you are able to take a number of potions equal to your Constitution mod. Starting at 15th level, you add your proficiency bonus. If you exceed this level, you will suffer 1d6 damage per active superior potion at the start of each round. In addition, you will necessarily suffer the poisoned condition.
Additionally, ingesting your concoctions only requires a bonus action.
However, be careful: if someone attempts to drink one of your concoctions and they are not of your order, they must succeed on the save DC with a disadvantage, and the DC is increased by 5. In addition, they will automatically be poisoned (except for a critical hit). If they fail the save, they die at the end of the potion's effect (except for a critical failure, or it will be instantaneous).
Note: you can only take a number of concoctions equal to your level per day. This is reset during a long rest.
- Hunter's Body
Starting at 7th level, you gain resistance to poison damage and immunity to the poisoned condition. However, you can still be poisoned by your concoctions, but you now have advantage on saving throws to resist them.
In addition, you gain advantage on any check used to track a beast (such as Survival or Perception). Your senses are heightened, and you are finally able to better control them.
- Body improve
Starting at 11th level, you gain proficiency with Constitution saving throws. Additionally, any concoction DCs you ingest are reduced by a value equal to half your proficiency bonus (rounded down). In addition, your body regenerates faster than normal. You gain one life regeneration at the start of each round as long as you have at least 1 HP or more remaining. Your regeneration is equal to your Constitution mod.
- Monster Hunter
Starting at 15th level, you become an outstanding monster hunter. After that, you gain a +2 bonus to AC, damage, and attack rolls if you know the creature you're fighting. In addition, if it's one of your sworn enemies, you have advantage on the attack roll. To get this bonus, you must either have already succeeded at a nature check to know the creature during the campaign (if you don't remember it, you can do it again) or succeed at a nature check before or during the fight against the creature.
