Mystic Sharpshooter[edit]
Mystic sharpshooters are trained in the art of glyph inscribing, a ancient magical art where they learn how to craft Arcane Stones, magical tokens marked with an arcane glyph, that serves as a fetish for the sharpshooter arcane power.
During combats, they wield specially prepared ranged weapons (often bows), with spaces reserved for these arcane stones; when a projectile is fired from the weapon, it is infused by the arcane energy contained inside the stones. Merging this magical power with great cunning and deadly precision, these sharpshooters are impressive foes that shall never be underestimated.
Bearers of the Third Eye[edit]
The first glyph learned by these sharpshooters is a special kind of divination glyph, a pattern called "The Third Eye" or the "Hawk's Eye". This third eye grants to the mystic sharpshooters an uncanny precision, responsible for their fame - or infamy - as lethal marksman.

Arcane Stones[edit]
Beginning at 1st level, you learn how to inscribe glyphs onto tokens - usually resistant gemstones - to draw magical power from it.
- Learning Glyphs
You start by knowing the Divination Glyph and one additional Glyph of your choice. Your Glyph options are detailed at the end of the class description. You learn more as you gain levels in this class, as shown on the Glyphs Known column on the Mystic Sharpshooter table.
- Inscribing Arcane Stones
When you learn a glyph, you must inscribe it on a gemstone or another hard surface in order to use it, with a value no lower than 25 gp, creating the Arcane Stone. The Arcane Stone is considered a magical object.
- Attaching Arcane Stones
To use your Arcane Stones, you must first attach it to a ranged weapon you are proficient with. Each ranged weapon have space for two glyphs, and attempting to attach a third one will remove one of the previous two.
Attaching an Arcane Stone to a ranged weapon is a process that can be done during a short or long rest.
- Magic Shots
- Charged Shots
Each Stone has two charges, that become unavailable when used. Whenever you finish a long rest, you charge up your Arcane Stones, which grants you the ability to use its magical properties.
- Arcane Stones Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.
Third Eye[edit]
Starting at 1st-level, you can use your Action draw the divinatory powers from your divination glyph to activate your third eye. While active, you gain the following benefits:
- You can see magical auras, as if you were under the effects of detect magic.
- You can see at a distance up to a mile, as if you were only within 100 feet of the location.
- You can't have Disadvantage on ranged weapon attacks for the duration.
- You can see in light or heavy obscured areas as if you were in a non-obscured area.
These effects last for 1 minute, or until you lose concentration (as if you were concentrating on a spell). Once you use this feature, you can't do it again until you finish a long rest.
Awakened Mind[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, as you open your senses for the arcane powers, your perception and awareness, from both mundane and mythical world, increases. You add your Wisdom modifier to your Intelligence (Arcana) checks.
In addition, you gain proficiency in Perception. If you are already proficient with it, you add twice your proficiency bonus on your Wisdom (Perception) checks.
Mythic Senses[edit]
Also at 2nd level, your perceptiveness is unparalleled. You can take the Search action using a bonus action. In addition, if you take the Search action while your Third Eye is open, you gain truesight up to a range of 60 feet until the end of your turn.

Sharpshooting[edit]
At 5th level, you can relentlessly attack your enemies with a volley of projectiles. When you take the Attack action and make a ranged weapon attack, you can attack twice, rather than once.
