Ranger

You are the terror of the night. By walking the path of the Nightstalker, you learn to summon and control your shadow like an extension of yourself, and draw upon the names of dark beasts, binding them to you by shadow magic.

Starting at 7th level, whenever you activate the action of your shadow companion that requires you to expend a spell slot, you can choose to swap positions with it before activating the ability.

Starting at 11th level, your connection to the shadows give you You gain one of the following features of your choice:

When you reach 15th level, lashing out with your shadow's essence has become second nature. When you activate the action of your shadow familiar that requires you to expend a spell slot, you can do so as bonus action rather than an action. Additionally, you can imbue your shadow companion with a second form from the options for Shadow Strike when you summon it.

When you reach 20th level, your connection to shadow suffuses you and your companion fully. You can imbue your shadow with all three options for Shadow Strike when you summon it. You also gain the options yourself, allowing you to both move and strike when you normally would forgo an attack. When you activate an action of your shadow companion that requires you to spend a spell slot, both you and the companion can carry it out.

You have found that no matter the circumstances, your strongest defense and staunchest ally is not the beast at your side nor the weapon in your hand, but the power which lies buried deep within your own mind. Through a coupling of your understanding of nature with the wild talent of psionics, you can achieve true self-sufficiency and innate power over the worlds around you, as well as those within you.

At 7th level, pain allows you decouple your mind and body from the flow of time, retracing your steps through the past to an alternate point in the present. When you would take damage from an attack or spell, you can use your reaction to halve the damage against you and instantly teleport to a space within 60 feet of you, which you occupied on your previous turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Wisdom modifier (a minimum of once). You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Starting at 11th level, your psionic potential manifests, giving you supernatural abilities to pass through the world around you. You gain one of the following features of your choice:

Starting at 15th level, you learn how to mystically pass from one location in space to another without moving through the in-between. Whenever you could use movement, you can forfeit any amount of that movement in order to teleport that same distance to an unoccupied location you can see.

At 20th level, you learn to ignore the natural boundaries of the objects around you. Your attacks may travel through up to 5 feet of solid matter unimpeded, allowing you to ignore cover.

Additionally, as an action, you can become intangible until the end of your turn. While intangible, you pass through solid objects and are immune to nonmagical bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage, but not structures, boundaries, or weapons created by magical force. Your gear may become intangible with you. If you would end your turn inside an object, you take 6d8 force damage and are ejected to the nearest unoccupied space. If you end your turn inside another creature, you both take this damage.

You are a paradox. Walking along the razor's edge between existence and oblivion, and wielding the very chronomantic magic of the creatures and enemies you hunt, you specialize in finding and eliminating threats that travel across time. Imbued with specialized senses that allow you to detect and track temporal anomalies, you are the razor blade that moves across the skin of reality, cutting anything that moves against it.

Beginning at 7th level, you can set stationary points along the timeline which allow you jump ahead and loop back to where you started. As a bonus action, you can teleport up to 20 feet to an unoccupied space you can see and then move up to half your speed. At the end of your turn, you can teleport back to the spot you occupied before teleporting, unless it is now occupied or on a different plane of existence.

Starting at 11th level, you can feel the subtle variations in potential timelines, giving you the power to control the way they shift. You gain one of the following features of your choice:

Beginning at 15th level, if a creature you can see within 60 feet of you would have advantage on an attack roll it makes against you or an ally in range, you can use your reaction to force that creature to make Wisdom saving throw. If they fail, they have disadvantage on that attack instead.

At 20th level, your greatest successes and most painful defeats echo through the multiverse. When in your time of dire need, your future self from a doomed future timeline appears to help you in the past, then disappears.

When you are reduced to 0 hit points, you can choose to activate an invisible call into the timestream called the Razor's Edge. Immediately, a portal opens on your location and a version of yourself from an alternate timeline appears above you in your space. It shares all of your statistics including stats, skills, spells, and available spell slots, but not necessarily your mood, personality, style, equipment, or outlook. Its current hit points are equal to your maximum hit points. You can control this character while you remain unconscious, after which, it will disappear back into the timestream.

If you die while the Razor's Edge protects you, you can choose to either permanently take on the role of your alter-ego, or have it return to its home timeline.

Once you use this ability, you can't do so again for 24 hours.

You are the first, and often last, line of defense against the terrors of the wilderness. Journeying down the Path of the Scout requires a cool mind and steady hand. You are the stalker of prey, honing your skills in the methods of tracking and finding. The land itself is your teacher and the beasts that call it home, your allies.

Beginning at 7th level, your trained senses allow you to react quickly to the movement of enemies around you.

Creatures within 30 feet of you provoke a ranged opportunity attack from you when they move to a space more than 30 feet away. In addition, when a creature more than 30 feet from you, moves to a space within 30 feet of you, you can use your reaction to move up to 15 feet. You must be able to see or otherwise sense the creature to use either reaction.

Starting at 11th level, your swift reflexes let you deal with hordes of enemies using you weapons. You gain one of the following features of your choice:

Starting at 15th level, you can spend 1 minute creating natural camouflage for yourself. You must have access to fresh mud, dirt, plants, soot, and other naturally occurring materials with which to create your camouflage.

Once you are camouflaged this way, you gain a +10 bonus to Dexterity (Stealth) checks against creatures while you remain in terrain similar to your natural disguise. Once you move or make an attack, this effect is suppressed until the beginning of your next turn.

Your camouflage lasts for 1 hour or until physical conditions ruin it (such as swimming or resting in rain).

When you reach 20th level, you have learned to master the tactics of ambush. On initiative count 20 on the first round of combat you take an extra turn in addition to the turn taken on your normal initiative count.

You find yourself drawn deeply into communion with the ancient and unchanging animal spirits. Perhaps you have always felt this connection, or perhaps this development is sudden and marked by strange visions and signs. Either way, your connection with the spirits guides and strengthens you, imbuing you with aspects of the wild's oldest of protectors.

Beginning at 7th level, while bonded with an animal, its strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

Also at 7th level, you gain the feature from the list below which matches the form of your animal spirit.

Starting at 11th level, your connection to your spirit animal guides you when you fight together. You gain one of the following features of your choice:

Beginning at level 15, your connection to your spirit animal allows you to reach out to it to aid, strengthen, and guide you. You gain the feature from the list below which matches the form of your animal spirit.

At 20th level, your bond with your companion transcends time, space, life, and death. Your spirit animal manifests itself fully into the world, taking the form of a creature which fits the essence of the spirit.

Once manifested, your companion does not age. It gains the Celestial or Fey creature type (your choice), has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects, and permanently retains all of your shared class features (even after you die).

If either you or your companion dies, your spirit remains connected. Resurrection magic which requires touching a corpse can instead touch the remaining living creature to function. Additionally, if both you and your companion are dead, resurrection magic cast on one of your corpses restores both of you to life.

Additionally, your companion gains the ability to perform one legendary action from the list below each round at the end of another creature's turn.

You are driven by the necessity of triumph over some great injustice or ongoing threat. Perhaps a corrupt noble extorts the countryside, a hag coven kidnaps local children on moonless nights, or a horde of gnolls threatens to destroy an ancient forest. Whatever it is that drives you, you single-mindedly put your skills, magics, tools, and techniques to the task of defeating your foe.

Starting at 7th level, your zeal against your foes gives lends vicious weight to your strikes against them. You can focus your wrath on a hostile creature you can see within 120 feet of you (no action required). You and your companion can add your Wisdom modifier to your attacks against that creature this turn. If the creature is a favored enemy, whenever you or your companion hit that creature with an attack this turn, it takes an additional 1d8 damage. You can use this feature to focus on a creature a number of times equal to 1 + your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). You regain all expended uses at the end of a long rest.

Starting at 11th level, your knowledge of your enemies gives you insight into disrupting their movement and abilities. You gain one of the following features of your choice:

Starting at 15th level, you and your companion gain advantage on saving throws and skill contests against spells or attacks from your favored enemies and have advantage on death saving throws when reduced to 0 hit points by a favored enemy.

Additionally, if a spell or blow from one of your favored enemies would reduce you or your companion to 0 hit points without killing you outright, it reduces you to 1 instead. Both you and your companion can use this feature once. After you both have done so, you can't use it again until you complete a long rest.

At 20th level, you become a master at slaying your most hated foes. Once per turn, when you hit one of your favored enemies with a weapon attack, it takes an additional 2d8 bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing, (your choice). If it has 30 or less hit points, it dies.
