If a subclass offers it, it will be detailed there.","class_features":"[center][b]Flexible Combatant[\/b][\/center]Beginning at 1st level, you can draw or stow two one handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one, and you can reload weapons with the loading, reload, or barrel properties without a free hand. Additionally, if you are carrying a one-handed melee weapon in one hand, and a one-handed ranged weapon in the other, you do not have disadvantage from being within 5 feet of a hostile creature on attacks made with that ranged weapon.\r\n\r\n[center][b]Focus Starting[\/b][\/center]at 1st level, your concentration during battle is razor sharp, letting you keenly focus during critical moments. You have 1 Focus Point. You gain additional Focus Points at 2nd, 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th level, as shown on the Jaeger table. You can expend Focus Points to use Focus Arts. You learn two such Focus Arts: Weapon Parry and Dodge Step. You learn one additional Focus Art of your choice at 2nd, 7th, 13th, and 17th level. Your Focus Art options are detailed at the end of the class description. When you roll a 20 on a saving throw or attack roll against a hostile creature, you regain 1 expended Focus Point. You regain all expended Focus Points when you finish a short or long rest. When you roll initiative and have no Focus Points remaining, you regain 1 Focus Point.\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n[ul]\r\n[li][b]Weapon Parry, Focus Art, Reaction, [\/b]As a reaction to being hit by a creature you can see within range of a weapon you are holding, you can expend 1 Focus Point to make a special weapon attack against that creature. This attack does no damage, but instead blocks an amount of damage from the incoming attack equal to the weapon's damage roll (include ability modifier), unless your attack roll is a 1. On a 20, any weapon damage dice are doubled (like a critical hit would be) and if this total fully blocks the incoming attack, the target is stunned until the start of its next turn.[\/li]\r\n[li][b]Dodge Step, Focus Art, Reaction [\/b]As a reaction to being attacked by a creature you can see, if your speed is not 0, you can expend 1 Focus Point to move 5 feet without provoking opportunity attacks and make a Dexterity saving throw with a DC equal to the attacker's attack roll (including modifiers). On a success, you evade completely and take no damage. On a failure, you half the attack's damage against you.[\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\n\r\n\r\n[center][b]Eldritch Hunter[\/b][\/center]Also at 1st level, when you make an ability check to track or identify an Aberration, Celestial, Fiend, Monstrosity, or Undead, you can add your proficiency bonus to the ability check. If you are already proficient in the ability check, you can double your proficiency bonus.\r\n\r\n[center][b]Momentum[\/b][\/center]Starting at 2nd level, any time you expend a Focus Point you gain one Momentum die, which is a d6. This die changes as you gain jaeger levels, as shown in the Jaeger table. You can have a maximum number of Momentum dice equal to your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (whichever is higher). Whenever you gain a Momentum die, or if you attack or end your turn within 5 feet of a hostile creature, all of your Momentum dice last until the end of your next turn. While you have one or more Momentum dice, you can expend all of your Momentum dice to execute a Finisher. You know Brutal Finisher. You learn one additional Finisher (listed at the end of the class description) of your choice at 4th, 6th, 8th, and 12th level, and may gain others through Jaeger Chapter features.\r\n\r\n[ul]\r\n[li][b]Brutal Finisher, Finisher, special [\/b]When you hit a creature with an attack, you can expend all of your Momentum dice and add them to the damage roll. If you reduce the target to 0 hit points with this Finisher, you regain 1 expended Focus Point.[\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\n\r\n[center][b]Fighting Style[\/b][\/center]At 2nd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can\u2019t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.\r\n\r\n\r\n[ul]\r\n[li]Dueling, When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.[\/li]\r\n[li]Great Weapon Fighting, When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.[\/li]\r\n[li]Flexible Fighting, You can engage in two-weapon fighting with any weapons you can wield in one hand, including one handed ranged weapons and weapons without the light property. When you do so, you gain a +1 bonus to the damage rolls of both weapons.[\/li]\r\n[li]Focused Fighting, You learn an additional Focus Art, and you gain 1 additional Focus Point.[\/li]\r\n[li]Two-Weapon Fighting, When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.[\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\n\r\n[center]Jaeger Chapter \r\n[left]When you reach 3rd level, you choose a Jaeger Chapter that suits the means by which you intend to further your powers.

If you fail a saving throw against madness, you can expend 1 Focus Point to reroll the die. You must use the new roll.\r\n\r\n\r\n[center][b]Eternal Watch[\/b][\/center][center]Starting at 18th level, you are always under the effect of Piercing Gaze[\/center]\r\n\r\n[center][b]Always Ready[\/b][\/center]Starting at 20th level, once per round (starting at the start of your turn), you gain one additional reaction, which you can only use on a Hunter Art that uses a reaction (such as Weapon Parry or Dodge Step).

The DC of the save is 8 + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice) + your proficiency bonus. The condition depends on the number of Momentum dice you have when you use this Finisher. You can choose to inflict a condition that requires fewer Momentum dice than you expend, but all Momentum dice are expended regardless of the condition selected. The target can repeat its saving throw against the condition at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. If the condition inflicted is Prone, they do not need to pass a subsequent save and can end the condition by standing as normal instead (if able to). If the target fails their initial save against the effect, you regain 1 Focus Point.\r\n\r\n\r\n[table][tr][th]momentum stacks[\/th][th]condition[\/th][th]save[\/th][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]1[\/td]\r\n[td]prone[\/td]\r\n[td]STR[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]2[\/td]\r\n[td]blinded[\/td]\r\n[td]CON[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]3[\/td]\r\n[td]restrained[\/td]\r\n[td]STR[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]4[\/td]\r\n[td]stunned[\/td]\r\n[td]CON[\/td]\r\n[\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]5+[\/td]\r\n[td]paralyzed[\/td]\r\n[td]CON[\/td]\r\n[\/tr][\/table][\/center][center][b]Chasing Finisher, Finisher, bonus action[\/b][\/center][center]As a bonus action, you expend all of your Momentum dice to move 10 feet per die expended before making a melee weapon attack.

Each time it takes damage from this effect, the number of dice of damage it takes at the end of its next turn is reduced by 1, and the bleeding stops when the number of dice would be reduced to 0.

Each creature in a 30 foot cone must make a Dexterity saving throw against a DC of 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus. On failure, a creature takes piercing damage equal to the total rolled on the Momentum dice.[\/center]","subclass_options":"[center]Jaeger Chapter[\/center]When you reach 3rd level, you choose a Jaeger Chapter that suits the means by which you intend to further your powers.
