Adversary

^{1st-level Slayer feature}
Beginning at 1st level, your hunter's instincts have given you the skills and knowledge to track down and destroy your adversaries. Choose one of the paths below, which determines what features you gain from this ability.

Know your Enemy

You specialize in hunting, tracking, and slaying specific kinds of creatures. You gain the Favored Enemy feature, the Greater Favored Enemy feature at 7th level, and the Superior Favored Enemy feature at 15th level.

Favored Enemy

Beginning at 1st level, you have significant experience studying, tracking, hunting, and even talking to a certain type of enemy commonly encountered in the wilds. Choose a type of favored enemy: beasts, fey, humanoids, monstrosities, or undead. You deal an additional 1d4 damage with weapon attacks against creatures of the chosen type. Additionally, you have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your favored enemies, as well as on Intelligence checks to recall information about them.

When you gain this feature, you also learn one language of your choice, typically one spoken by your favored enemy or creatures associated with it. However, you are free to pick any language you wish to learn.

Greater Favored Enemy

At 7th level, you are ready to hunt even deadlier game. Choose a type of greater favored enemy: aberrations, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fiends, or giants. You gain all the benefits against this chosen enemy that you normally gain against your favored enemy, including an additional language. Your bonus to damage rolls against all your favored enemies increases to 1d6.

Superior Favored Enemy

At 15th level, your mastery of the hunt has spread to even more types of creatures. Choose a third type of favored enemy you have not already selected for your Favored Enemy or your Greater Favored Enemy from this list: aberrations, beasts, celestials, constructs, dragons, elementals, fey, fiends, giants, humanoids, monstrosities, oozes, plants, or undead. You gain all the benefits against this chosen enemy that you normally gain against your favored enemy, including an additional language.

Additionally, you have advantage on saving throws against the spells and abilities used by all of your favored enemies.

Foehammer

You are a hunter of singular focus, and you have become adept at picking your targets. You gain the Favored Foe feature, which gains additional features at 7th and 15th level.

Favored Foe

When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can call on your mystical bond with nature to mark the target as your favored enemy for 1 minute. If you reduce that creature to 0 hit points before the end of this duration, you can mark another creature you can see.

The first time on each of your turns that you hit the favored enemy and deal damage to it, including when you mark it, you can increase that damage by 1d6. You can use this feature to mark a favored enemy a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. This feature's extra damage increases to a d8 and apply it to all of your attack rolls when you reach 7th level in this class. This feature's extra damage increases to a d10 and its duration becomes 1 hour when you reach 15th level in this class.

Explorer

^{1st-level Slayer feature}
All slayers are experts at navigating the world. At 1st level, choose one of the following features, each of which grant additional improvements at 7th and 11th level.

Deft Explorer

You are an unsurpassed explorer and survivor, both in the wilderness and in dealing with others on your travels. You gain the Canny ability below, the Roving ability at 7th level, and the Tireless ability at 11th level.

Canny

Choose one of your skill proficiencies. You gain expertise with the chosen skill. In addition, thanks to your extensive wandering, you are able to speak, read, and write two languages of your choice.

Roving

Your walking speed increases by 10, and you gain a climbing speed and a swimming speed equal to your walking speed.

Tireless

As an action, you can give yourself a number of temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + your Slayer ability modifier (minimum of 1 temporary hit point). You can use this action a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest. In addition, whenever you finish a short rest, your fatigue and strife levels, if any, are decreased by 1.

Natural Explorer

You are a master of navigating the natural world, and you react with swift and decisive action when attacked. Choose one of these major abilities:

You ignore difficult terrain.
You have advantage on initiative rolls.
On your first turn during combat, you have advantage on attack rolls against creatures that have not yet acted.

In addition, you are skilled at navigating the wilderness. Choose two of these minor abilities, which you benefit from when traveling for an hour or more:

Difficult terrain doesn't slow your group's travel.
Your group can't become lost except by magical means.
Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger.
If you are traveling alone or with your animal companion, you can move stealthily at a normal pace.
When you forage, you find twice as much food as you normally would.
While tracking other creatures, you also learn their exact number, their sizes, and how long ago they passed through the area.

At 7th level, choose another major ability and two more minor abilities. At 11th level, you gain all major and minor abilities that you did not already have.

Exploration Knacks

^{1st-level Slayer feature}
For a slayer exploration isn’t just something that happens between destinations—it’s a way of life. You start with two Slayer exploration knacks of your choice. Your exploration knacks are detailed on the Exploration Knacks page. The Knacks Known column of the Slayer table shows when you learn more exploration knacks. A level prerequisite refers to your level in this class.

Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Exploration Knacks you know and replace it with another Exploration Knacks that you could learn at that level.

Combat Maneuvers

^{2nd-level Slayer feature}
At 2nd level, you gain the ability to use combat maneuvers. You gain proficiency in two combat traditions from the following list: Cavalry, Deadeye, Determination, Duelist, Nemesis, Skirmisher. You learn two maneuvers of your choice from traditions you are proficient with.

The Slayer table shows how much focus you have to use your maneuvers of 1st degree and higher. To use one of your maneuvers, you must expend focus from your focus pool. You regain all expended focus when you finish a short or long rest. Your maneuvers show how much focus they cost. The Maneuvers Known column of the Fighter table shows when you learn more maneuvers from a tradition you are proficient with, while the Maneuver Degree column shows the highest degree you can select maneuvers from at a given level. You cannot know more maneuvers of a degree than you know of degrees below it.

Additionally, whenever you learn a new maneuver, you can choose one of the maneuvers you know and replace it with another maneuver, and whenever you finish a long rest, you can replace any maneuvers you know with maneuvers from traditions you are proficient with of the same degree over the course of 10 minutes.

Fighting Style

^{2nd-level Slayer feature}
You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Archery. You gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

Blind Fighting. You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn't behind total cover, even if you're blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you.

Close Quarters Shooter. Making a ranged attack roll while within 5 feet of an enemy doesn't impose disadvantage on your roll. In addition, if you hit a creature within 5 feet of you with a ranged attack on your turn, that creature can't take reactions until the end of this turn.

Defense. While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC, and your speed is not reduced by wearing heavy armor.

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.

Free-Hand Fighting. When you make an attack roll against a creature within 5 feet of you, the d20 die result required to activate a flourish is reduced by 2 as long as you have at least one free hand.

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, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Interception. When a creature you can see hits a target that is within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.

Mariner. As long as you are not wearing heavy armor or using a shield, you have a swimming speed and a climbing speed equal to your normal speed. For each of these speeds you already have, your walking speed increases by 5 feet instead.

Opportunist. You have advantage on opportunity attacks.

Protection. Immediately after a creature you can see makes an attack roll and hits a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to interpose your shield and impose a penalty on the attack roll equal to the shield's AC bonus, potentially turning it into a miss. You must be wielding a shield to use this reaction.

Rider. You have advantage on saving throws made to avoid falling off mounts or vehicles. If you fall off your mount or vehicle and descend no more than 10 feet, you can land on your feet if you're not incapacitated. Finally, mounting or dismounting a creature or vehicle costs only 5 feet of movement, rather than half your speed.

Thrown Weapon Fighting. You can draw a weapon that has the thrown property as part of the attack you make with the weapon. In addition, when you hit with a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll.

Two-Weapon Fighting. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the offhand attack.

Unarmed Fighting. Your unarmed strikes can deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier on a hit. If you aren't wielding any weapons or a shield when you make the attack roll, the d6 becomes a d8. If the damage die of your unarmed strikes is already a d6 or higher, reduce the number required to flourish with unarmed strikes by 1. Additionally, once on your turn when you hit a creature with an unarmed strike, you can deal damage to the creature and also grapple or shove them.

Vigorous Fighting. When you spend hit die to recover focus, you recover an additional 1 focus for each hit die spent.

Martial Versatility

Whenever you gain a level in a class that has the Fighting Style feature, you can replace a fighting style you know with another style available to your class. This change represents a shift of focus in your martial training and practice, causing you to lose the benefits of one style and gain the benefits of another style.

Poultices

^{2nd-level Slayer feature}
At 2nd level, you can create special herbal poultices that have healing power comparable to some potions. Choose Intelligence or Wisdom to be your Slayer ability modifier. Once you make this choice, you cannot change it. You use the chosen ability whenever a spell refers to your Slayer ability.

You can spend 1 hour gathering herbs and preparing herbal poultices using treated bandages to create a number of such poultices equal to your Slayer ability modifier (minimum 1), which can be done during a short or long rest. You can carry a number of poultices at one time equal to your slayer ability modifier (minimum 1). The poultices you create cannot be applied by anyone but you. After 24 hours, any poultices that you have not used lose their potency.

You can spend 1 action to apply a poultice to a creature you can touch, thereby expending its use, that creature regains 1d6 hit points for every two Slayer levels you have (rounded up).

Slayer Conclave

^{3rd-level Slayer feature}

You may apply multiple salves to a single poultice, but you must have dice from your poultices to spend, or additional uses to expend. A poultice can heal 0 hit points if you expend those dice for other purposes.
