Might of Eden: Spirit Hunter

Posted: August 7, 2009 | Author: Dennis N. Santana | Filed under: Classes, D&D 4e, Homebrew, RPG, Spirits Of Eden |2 Comments »

Rangers are not merely the wildsmen of Eden. Rangers are fast, potent fighters that train in specific styles suited to specific environments. They are the most traditional of all the martial warriors of Eden, committing themselves to a way of battle since an early age and perfecting it. Often, Rangers are trained by masters or elders from their home villages and become deeply entwined with their environments. Whether it be an urban sprawl, or the green forests, or the harsh deserts, or the cold mountains, the Ranger masters his or her environment and adapts his or her style to fight whatever might come.

Rangers are often sought after by people as guides, trackers, guards and assassins. They form a rather small portion of the military strength in Eden, often used as specialists in groups of other warriors, again as guides or scouts.

The least common and most mysterious of the Ranger disciplines is that of the Spirit Hunter, a path spoken of in many tales. In Eden, fighting spirits is a taboo, but in the wilderness, believing in a superstition is more detrimental than helpful. In this environment, a spirit hunter ranger trains and survives, brushing daily with the most awe-inspiring of creatures in Eden, faced with his or her own mortality against the powerful quasi-immortals roaming the land.

A Spirit Hunter knows the ways of the spirits. This ranger has mingled with them, learned sacred words, witnessed and studied their means of changing anything alive via their spirit magic. Their magic has rubbed off on him or her – or perhaps it was there all along. A Spirit Hunter blends the boundary between the weapon arts of man and the wild magic of spirit beasts.

This esoteric knowledge mixed with the know-how of the woodland hunter creates a Ranger altogether very different from urban wanderers with their blades or the rural snipers with their bows. This Ranger is doing magic, whether proper or not, with some understanding of it. Though the Spirit Hunter requires some catalyst, something burn, some liquid to enchant, a weapon to direct at the enemy, an emotion to twist into an advantage, he or she is still doing magic nevertheless.

Features

Spirit Hunter Style: The Spirit Hunter can use any magic melee or ranged weapon as an implement for his or her Ranger powers with the implement keyword. He or she adds the enhancement bonus of his or her weapon to attack and damage rolls with powers that have the Implement keyword.

The Ranger does not add the proficiency bonus of his or her weapon when it is used as an implement.

In addition, when attacking his or her quarry with a Ranger power, the Spirit Hunter can give up his or her Hunter’s Quarry damage for the round to roll the attack roll twice and choose the highest result. If the attack hits, it deals 1 + wisdom modifier extra damage. This improves to 2 + wisdom modifier at 11th level and 4 + wisdom modifier at 21st level. The Spirit Hunter can do this twice per encounter, improving to 3 times at 11th level and 4 times at 21st level.

Paragon Path: Urban Assassin

My anger will live on past your lifetime – I will guarantee that today.

Prerequisite: Ranger, trained in Streetwise, 11th level

Not all rangers seek the wilderness for sustenance. The city is its own jungle and it is filled with prey. You are a hunter who’s prey resides in a more complex environment. You navigate the urban strata and kill when your prey least expects it – an arrow from outside a window, a sword from under a cloak, ensuring a swift death. You might work for money, or perhaps you just want to voice constructive displeasure towards certain folks in the big city. You might be doing this alone, accompanied or under oath. But whoever’s face is burned into your mind will never again be seen to breath, if you can help it.

URBAN ASSASSIN PATH FEATURES

Urban Hunter’s Action (11th level): Whenever you spend an action point to take an extra action, and use that action to make a basic attack, that attack adds your Hunter’s Quarry damage as extra damage.

Sure To Kill (11th level): At the start of an encounter, you can designate any one non-Solo creature you can see as your quarry as a free action. While that creature lives, you cannot select any other creature as your Hunter’s Quarry. Whenever you apply your Hunter’s Quarry damage to that creature, you can reroll all rolls of 2 or less on your Hunter’s Quarry damage dice.

Urban Mobility (11th level): You can high jump 10 feet or long jump 2 squares as a move action.

Paragon Path: Wildlands Walker

Footsteps in the dust, undaunted, I beseech the earth to let me pass and let my enemies fall.

Prerequisites: Ranger, Spirit Hunter Style, 11th level

Part of the majesty of spirits are the lands that they inhabit. You can feel the touch of a spirit’s presence in the very air you breathe and the soil you touch. Without them the land would surely be different.

You can bring forth the spirit wilds wherever you go through the spirit’s own gifts. You can draw that nourishing air from even the faintest traces of spirit magic in the soil or breeze. You can conquer and shape any natural terrain and even the most unnatural.

WILDLANDS WALKER PATH FEATURES

Walker’s Action (11th level): Whenever you spend an action point, you can ignore difficult terrain until the end of your turn.

Nourishing Wind (11th level): You can use Second Wind an extra time during an encounter.

Trail Runner (11th level): While you are occupying a square of difficult or hindering terrain, your Hunter’s Quarry gains a +4 bonus to damage against creatures also occupying a square of difficult or hindering terrain.

Terrain Master (16th level): Terrain gives you little to fear. You have a +2 bonus to all skill checks against Challenging Terrain. You have Resistance 10 against all damage caused by hindering terrain and ignore penalties to speed from Difficult Terrain. You do not give combat advantage to an enemy if you would give it from being on difficult or hindering terrain.
