Jaeger Sub-Classes

Absolute

  Counter Strike: Starting at 3rd level, when you use the Weapon Parry Focus Art, your damage roll increases by an amount equal to half your level in this class (rounded down). If the amount of damage you block exceeds the damage their attack would deal, and your attack roll would hit their AC, the target takes damage equal to the remainder of the damage roll. Whenever you expend a Focus Point on a Focus Art, you gain advantage on your next weapon attack roll before the end of your next turn.   Unencumbered Movement: Also at 3rd level, while you are wearing light armor or no armor, your speed increases by 10 feet, and the distance you can move when using the Dodge Step Focus Art increases by 5 feet.   Encircling Strike: At 7th level, if you move to the opposite side of a creature from where you started your turn, or are directly on the opposite side of a creature from an allied creature of yours, you deal extra damage to the target equal to your Momentum die the first time you hit it with a melee weapon attack.   Mobile Pursuer: At 14th level, when you move as part of your Hunter's Pursuit, you ignore difficult terrain, can pass through hostile creatures, and don’t need to spend extra movement to climb or swim.   The Hunt: Starting at 17th level, you can declare a hunt (no action required). For 1 minute, you are under the effect of freedom of movement and each time you expend a Focus Point, you gain 2 Momentum dice instead of 1. This effect ends early if you become incapacitated, or end it early as a bonus action. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.  

Fulminate

  Covering Fire: Starting at 3rd level, when you use the Weapon Parry Focus Art, as long as you're wielding a ranged weapon or a weapon with the thrown property, you can use it in defense of an ally within the weapon's normal range instead of yourself. Additionally, the roar of your gunfire can startle your quarry. One per turn, when attacking with a firearm you can force a creature you're targeting (hit or miss) to make a DC (8+prof+STR/DEX mod) Wisdom Save. On failure, it has disadvantage on a it's next attack. A creature that saves against this ability is immune to it for the next 24 hours.   Thunderous Shot: Starting at 3rd level, you learn the Explosive Finisher. This does not count against your Finishers known.  

• Explosive Finisher: Finisher, special When you hit a creature with an attack using a weapon with the ranged property, you can expend all of your Momentum dice. When you do it explodes forcing creatures within 15 feet of the hit creature to make a DC = (8 + proficiency + strength or dexterity modifier) Dexterity save. On failure, they take the Momentum dice roll result in Fire damage, or half as much on a Success.

  Lightning Fingers: At 7th level your hands and fingers move at preternatural speed allowing you to perform complex actions such as reloading firearms without the need of a free hand. By expending a Focus Point you can reload all wielded firearms and/or clear any jams without the need of a Sleight of Hand check to repair them.   Expert Marksmanship: Starting at 14th level you've mastered targeting specific locations of a given target to hinder rather than induce further harm. When you expend a Focus Point for a Ranged Attack that hits, depending on the Momentum dice you've accumulated you can choose one of the following effects to inflict in addition to the damage dealt:  

• Dazing Shot (3): On a hit, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw or suffer disadvantage on attacks until the end of their next turn.

• Disarming Shot (2): On a hit, the creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw or drop 1 held object of your choice and have that object be pushed 10 feet away from it.

• Forceful Shot (1): On a hit, the creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 15 feet away from you.

• Winging Shot (1): Reduces the creature's Movement Speed by 10 feet per Momentum die available. If the creature's speed is reduced to 0 feet, they are instead knocked prone.

  Thunder and Flame: At 17th level, entering a heightened state of battle the hunter moves with stalwart purpose and resolve to end their mark. For 1 minute you no longer lose Momentum dice unless you choose to expend them as part of a Finisher and when you do you can choose how many you expend for a desired effect rather than all as normal. If you would gain Momentum Dice that exceed your maximum you can expend them immediately as part of an attack or you roll the Momentum die and take that much in Fire damage and begin burning. At the end of your turn you roll the Fire damage again unless you or an ally uses an action to put you out, or if you are submerged in or splashed with at least a gallon of water. While burning this way creatures within 5 feet that make melee attacks against you also take Fire damage equal to the result of a rolled Momentum die. Once you use this feature you cannot do so again until the end of a long rest.

On a hit, any falling damage you take is reduced by half, and you do not fall prone from the fall.   Fell the Leviathan: Starting at 14th level, whenever you use a Finisher, the target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus) or be knocked prone.
