Hunter's Prey
3rd-Level Ranger Feature
Beginning at 3rd level, your tenacity can wear down the
most powerful of foes, regardless of their number.
Whenever you hit a target with a weapon attack, it takes
an extra 1d8 damage. You can deal this extra damage only
once per turn.
When you reach 11th level in this class, the extra damage
can be applied more than once per turn if it is against a
different target.
Tactician
3rd-Level Ranger Feature
Beginning at 3rd level, your tenacity can wear down the most
powerful of foes. You gain one of the following features of
your choice.
Art of War. Your skill in combat with hordes allows you to
move through numbers without fear of reprisal. During your
turn, when you make a melee attack against a creature, you
don’t provoke opportunity attacks from that creature for the
rest of the turn, whether you hit or not.
Giant Killer. When a Large or larger creature within 5 feet of you hits or misses you with an attack, you can use your reaction to attack that creature immediately after its attack, provided that you can see the creature.
Horde Breaker. Once on each of your turns when you make a weapon attack, you can make another attack with the same weapon against a different creature that is within 5 feet of the original target and within range of your weapon.
Marksman. Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls. Also, when a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to make a ranged weapon attack as opposed to a melee weapon attack.
Defensive Tactics
7th-Level Ranger Feature
At 7th level, you gain one of the following features of your
choice.
Escape the Horde. Opportunity attacks against you are
made with disadvantage.
Multiattack Defense. When a creature hits you with an attack, you gain a +4 bonus to AC against all subsequent attacks made by that creature for the rest of the turn.
Steel Will. You have advantage on saving throws against being charmed or frightened.
Multiattack
11th-Level Ranger Feature
At 11th level, you excel in fighting against a horde of
creatures. You can use your action to make a melee or a
ranged weapon attack against any number of creatures
within 10 feet of a point or in a 20-foot-line centered on a
point you can see within your movement speed or weapon
range. You make a separate attack roll for each target. You
must have ammunition for each target, as normal, for your
ranged attacks.
Superior Hunter's Defense
15th-Level Ranger Feature
At 15th level, you gain one of the following features of your
choice.
Elusive. You are so evasive that attackers rarely gain the
upper hand against you. No attack roll has advantage against
you while you aren’t incapacitated.
Evasion. You can nimbly dodge out of the way of certain area effects, such as a red dragon’s fiery breath or a lightning bolt spell. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make Dexterity saving throw for only half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw. You take only half damage if you fail.
Stand Against the Tide. When a hostile creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to force that creature to repeat the same attack against another creature (other than itself) of your choice.
Uncanny Dodge. When an attacker that you can see hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to halve the attack’s damage against you.
