Hunter

Description

Hunters are fighter-type adventurers especially good with a bow.

Combat

Hunters reduced chance of hitting an ally in combat and their special sidearm should let them fight at range in more situations than other classes. When things get hair they are still Fighters at the end of the day and shouldn't shy from melee if needed.

• Damage Bonus: Hunters gain a bonus to all damage rolls based on their Strength. They additionally gain +1 to all damage rolls when wielding a bow.
• Lucky Miss: Hunters are much less likely to hit their allies when firing into melee or through multiple ranks of allies. Any roll that indicates an ally was hit are re-rolled.
• Sidearmed: At Level 2, Hunters craft a custom hand crossbow. This sidearm has a range of 30ft, and suffers no penalty for shooting at melee range. It uses modified crossbow bolts that do 1d4 damage. Once per encounter, the Hunter can fire the sidearm in addition to the rest of their turn. Alternatively, they can fire the sidearm on the enemies turn as if a trigger was declared, even if the Hunter's side lost initiative.
• Multiple Attacks: At level 4, Hunters gain their choice of an extra melee attack on every odd round, or a second use of their hand crossbow per encounter (one use per round max).

Save Bonus

Hunters have a +1 bonus on all saving throws except against those against magic and spells.
