Survival Hunter

Protect Nature and People from Destruction

You stalk prey in the wilds and elsewhere, using your abilities as a Hunter to protect nature and people everywhere from forces that would destroy them.

Survival Hunter Class Features

As a Survival Hunter, you gain the following class features when you reach the specified Hunter levels.

Level 3: Hunter’s Lore

You can call on the forces of nature to reveal certain strengths and weaknesses of your prey. While a creature is marked by your Hunter’s Mark, you know whether that creature has any Immunities, Resistances, or Vulnerabilities, and if the creature has any, you know what they are.

Level 3: Trapper

You learn to place and infuse traps with the vigor of nature.

Traps Known. You learn two traps of your choice, which are detailed under “Traps” below.

You learn an additional trap of your choice at 7th, 11th, and 15th level. Each time you learn new traps, you can also replace one trap you know with a different one.

Placing a Trap. You can use your action and expend a use of this feature to place a trap in an empty space within 30 feet of you. A trap lasts for 1 hour, until it is activated, or until you retrieve it.

A creature approaching your trap must succeed on a Wisdom (Perception) or Intelligence (Investigation) check against your trap save DC to notice it. A creature automatically succeeds the check if it saw you place the trap.

You can place two traps between rests. You regain all expended trap uses when you finish a short or long rest. At 11th level, you can place three traps between rests. Activating a Trap. A trap has a range of 5 feet. When a creature other than you or your beast companion enters the trap’s range or starts its turn there, the trap is activated and destroyed.

Deactivating a Trap. You can retrieve a placed trap that has not been activated by using an action while within 5 feet of it, regaining one expended use of this feature.

Saving Throws. Your traps require your target to make a saving throw to resist its effect. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows: Trap save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.

Traps

The traps are presented in alphabetical order.

Bear Trap. When the trap is activated, each creature within range must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone in their space. Any creature knocked prone by this trap has their movement speed reduced to 0 until the start of their next turn.

Blinding Trap. When the trap is activated, each creature within range must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a target is blinded until the start of its next turn. Any invisible creature who fails this saving throw glitter with dim light, making them visible for the duration.

Ensnaring Trap. When the trap is activated, each creature within range must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be restrained for 1 minute. A creature restrained by this trap can use its action to make a Strength check against your Trap save DC. On a success, it frees itself. Explosive Trap. When the trap is activated, each creature within range must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking fire damage equal to twice your hunter level on a failed save, or half as much damage on a success.

Freezing Trap. When the trap is activated, the creature who activated it must make a Dexterity saving throw, or be restrained for 1 minute. While a creature restrained by this trap the creature has total cover and can’t take any actions other than attempt to break free by making a Strength check against your Trap save DC. On a success, it breaks the ice and frees itself. This trap has no effect on Huge or larger creatures. The creature is encased in ice, the ice has an AC of 10 and hit points equal to four times your hunter level.

Ice Trap. When the trap is activated, ice expands from the trap in a 20-feet-radius around it and making the area difficult terrain. A creature that starts its turn, or moves across the area for the first time on its turn must make a Dexterity saving throw or fall prone.

Immolation Trap. When the trap is activated, each creature within range must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking fire damage equal to your hunter level on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. On a failed save, the creature takes damage equal to half your hunter level (rounded up) at the start of each of its turns until the flames are doused as an action.

Venom Trap. When the trap is activated, each creature within range takes 1 piercing damage and must succeed on a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, a creature is poisoned for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns. On a success, the poisoned condition fades.

Level 7: Defensive Tactics

You gain one of the following feature options of your choice. Whenever you finish a Short or Long Rest, you can replace the chosen option with the other one.

Escape the Horde. Opportunity Attacks have Disadvantage against you.

Multiattack Defense. When a creature hits you with an attack roll, that creature has Disadvantage on all other attack rolls against you this turn.

Level 11: Advanced Trapper

At 11th level, you show unparalleled control over your traps and utilize the openings they create.

You gain the following benefits:

  • You have advantage on weapon attacks against any creature who was hit by one of your traps since the end of your last turn.
  • Your traps no longer activate when a creature moves within range. Instead, you can choose as a free action to activate a trap, even if there is no creature nearby.

Level 15: Superior Hunter’s Defense

When you take damage, you can take a Reaction to give yourself Resistance to that damage and any other damage of the same type until the end of the current turn.
