Occult Hunter[edit]

A halfling man walks in the Underdark sneaking into a mindflayer colony.

A human woman hunts the witch who been living in this village for the last few years.

Tradition of Hunting[edit]

Created by a family of notorious vampire hunters, the Occult Hunters became synonymous with slayer, more a title than a name, striking fear in the dead hearts of undead beings and other evil creature's that lurk in the dark. Some are part of the vampire hunter family, other's however only follow the example of these night stalkers, defending innocents from monsters.

To fight the dark powers, they rely in knowledge, both mundane and magic, constantly seeking information about the beings they hunt, and delving deeper into occultism, understanding these eldritch energies to become able to fight against it. They also master the combat arts, learning to fight with multiple weapons, but specializing in weapons easy to carry, conceal and wield, since brute strength is often useless against foes powered by black magic.

From Light and Darkness[edit]

The Occult Hunter is a holy wanderer. But unlike a priest or a paladin, you will not see an Occult Hunter preaching or flashing their holy symbol around. They walk the thin line between light and dark. They go places normal people would not dare tread. They want to purge the world of eldritch horrors (mind flayer, beholder, chuul, and so on) and those who gain power by making deals with them (witches, warlocks, hags, and so on). In the name of their god and the welfare of the world they use magic, sword, and gun bring light to the dark places in the world.

Creating a Occult Hunter[edit]

Now think about who makes up your character, what is their background? How did they end up as a Occult Hunter? Was it something they were born into? Are his or her family Occult Hunter and trained you into it? Was it something that called to you later in life? Did you lose a friend or family to one of these horrors and swear vengeance? Were you hunted by one of these horrors and vowed to become the hunter? What made you start adventuring? Did they decide to do this for the thrill? Was it by pure chance- you were in the wrong place at the right time? Are you looking for something existential or personal? All these questions lead to better understanding your character and their motivations.

It can be hard to find good backgrounds for an Occult Hunter. Inquisitor will be the most widely applicable background. Haunted One may be chosen if a horror has attacked him or his family in the past. A noble background could be chosen for how well educated lords and ladies can be.

How did they end up specializing in hunting the creatures they are sworn to destroy? Was it something they were born into? Are their family Occult hunters and trained them into it? Was it something they discovered later in life? Did they lose a friend or family to one of these horrors and swore vengeance? Were they hunted by one of these horrors, until they turned the tables on it?

What made them start adventuring? Did they decide to do it for the fun of it? Is there a creature they are on the trail of? Are they perhaps still on the run from a creature? All these questions are lead to better understanding your character and their motivations.

While you are transformed, the following rules apply:

  • Your game statistics are replaced by the statistics of the chosen creature, but you retain your alignment, personality, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain all of your skills and saving throw proficiencies, in addition to gaining those of the creature. If the creature has the same proficiency as you and the bonus in its stat block is higher than yours, use the creature’s bonus instead of yours. If the creature has any legendary or lair actions, you can’t use them.
  • When you transform, you assume the creature's hit points and Hit Dice. When you revert to your normal form, you return to the number of hit points you had before you transformed. However, if you revert as a result of dropping to 0 hit points, any excess damage carries over to your normal form. For example, if you take 10 damage in animal form and have only 1 hit point left, you revert and take 9 damage. As long as the excess damage doesn’t reduce your normal form to 0 hit points, you aren’t knocked unconscious.
  • You can’t cast spells, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your creature form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, however, or prevent you from taking actions that are part of a spell, such as call lightning, that you’ve already cast.
  • You retain the benefit of any features from your class, race, or other source and can use them if the new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses, such as darkvision, unless your new form also has that sense.
  • You choose whether your equipment falls to the ground in your space, merges into your new form, or is worn by it. Worn equipment functions as normal, but the DM decides whether it is practical for the new form to wear a piece of equipment, based on the creature’s shape and size. Your equipment doesn’t change size or shape to match the new form, and any equipment that the new form can’t wear must either fall to the ground or merge with it. Equipment that merges with the form has no effect until you leave the form.

Front Stance. A solid offensive stance. When you choose this stance at the start of your turn, you can move additional 10 feet before making an attack.
Lateral Stance. A stance that maintains a solid balance between attack and defense. Your movement speed increases by 10 feet until the end of your turn when you take the Attack action on this stance.
Retreated Stance. A defensive stance. When you assume this stance, you don't provoke opportunity attacks from creatures you attack until the start of your next turn.
Strikes

You can use the following strikes, by spending your Mastery Points:

Visceral Rend. Using melee weapon you can try to rend your foe, opening horrifyingly brutal wounds in it. When you hit a creature with an melee attack, you can spend 1 mastery point to force the creature to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature lose 1d6 hit points in each turn for 1 minute. In each of its turns, the creature or an ally can stop the bleeding by making a Wisdom (Medicine) check against your save DC.
Disarming Attack. You can try to disarm a creature. On a hit the foe drops 1 item of your choice.
Paralyzing Attack. You can attempt to paralyze a creature. On a hit, you can spend 1 mastery point and force the target to make a Constitution Saving Throw, or its movement is reduced to 0.
Guards

A guard is a specific position in which you hold your melee weapon, to maximize either your offensive or defensive capabilities. You can assume the following guards as a bonus action on your turn:

High Guard. The high guard is a powerful guard for strong attacks. The next attack you make until the end of your turn is made with advantage. The creature attacked has advantage on the next melee weapon attack it makes against you until the end of its turn.
Middle Guard. A balanced guard, with a solid defense and offense. When you assume the middle guard, you can use your reaction to reroll a melee weapon attack you miss, or force an opponent to reroll a melee weapon attack made against you. You must use the new result.
Low Guard. The low guard is a deceptive guard, that opens you for attacks but make your strikes unavoidable. You have advantage in all your melee weapon attacks made until the end of this turn, but all attacks made against you are made at advantage until the start of your next turn.

Marksmanship[edit]

When you choose the marksmanship mastery, you gain the ability to use and build firearms with great ability. When you choose marksmanship mastery, you gain the following abilities: Gunsmith, Trick Shooter and Weapon Modifications.

Trick Shooter

Whenever you make an attack with a firearm, you can spend your mind points to attempt a trick shot...

Gunsmith

You gain the ability to craft firearms. You can craft any firearm on the list by spending 8 hours constructing one, and 75 gp in materials for each property the firearm has. Firearms with the reload property cost double the price. These hours don't need to be consecutive, and the process of building a firearm is considered light activity. You must have your smith's tools on you to craft a firearm. If the firearm has the reload property, it is also required the tinker's tools.

To craft ammunition, you must have both the smith's tools and the alchemist's supplies on you. Each bullet costs 2 sp and 1 minute to craft.
