Fighting Style
At 1st level, you determine in what direction your throwing prowess develops. You may choose between Knight, Acrobat, Leader, or Assassin. You gain additional features at 3rd, 10th, and 18th level.
Skirmisher
At 2nd level, your movement speed increases by +10 ft., and you may take the Dodge action as a bonus action.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 14th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 13h level in this class and to four when you reach 20th level in this class.
Extra Feat
At 6th level, you may gain a feat of your choice, or take a level in another class, counting both this level and this class and that level in that class as the same level but only gaining the other class's hit die and any multiclassing proficiencies. You may do this again at 11th, 14th, and 15th level.
Trick Shot
At 2nd level, before you make a ranged weapon attack, you may choose to make it a trick shot. These trick shots have special effects that apply when you hit the target. You may apply one effect per ranged weapon attack you make and only one per attack action. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your 1 + your Wisdom modifier, and you regain all uses of this feature after you finish a short or long rest.
- Disarm
When you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack, it drops one item (of your choice) that it is holding. That item flies 15 feet from the creature in a random direction.
- Immobilize
When you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack, its movement speed becomes 0 until the end of your next turn.
- Head Shot
When you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack, it counts as a critical that automatically hits their head. This attack has disadvantage.
- Forceful Shot
When you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack, it is pushed back 10 feet. This effect only works against creatures no more than 1 size larger than you.
Dexterous
Beginning at 9th level, you can reroll any Dexterity or Strength saving throw, or Dexterity, Strength, or Wisdom skill check that you fail. If you do so, you must use the new roll. You may do this a number of times equal to your Dexterity or Strength modifier, whichever is higher, regaining all uses at the end of a long rest.
Action Surge
Starting at 17th level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action on top of your regular action and a possible bonus action.
Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Bowman
- Archery
At 1st level, when you make an attack with a ranged weapon that lacks the loading and reloading properties, you gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls.
- Double Shot
At 3rd level, as a Trick Shot when you make an attack with a ranged weapon that lacks the loading and reloading properties, you can use a bonus action to make a second attack with the same weapon. You don't add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative.
- Volley
At 10th level, as a Trick Shot, you may target a 10 ft. square area. Each creature in this area must attempt a DC 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency modifier Dexterity saving throw. On a failure, they take the weapon's damage. You lose a number of ammunition equal to the number of shots you would have made against each creature.
- Archer's Focus
At 18th level, as a full turn action, you may center your skill in handling a bow. For 1 minute, you gain the following:
- You may make 1 additional attack with Double Shot, and you may add your ability modifier to the damage of all Double Shot attacks.
- You may make 3 Trick Shots without decreasing your number of available uses, and may make up to 3 on any attack action.
- The area targeted by Volley increases to a 20 ft. square area.
You may do this once, regaining use at the end of a short or long rest.
Marksman
- Point Blank
At 1st level, your attacks with ranged weapons with the loading or reload property have advantage if the creature is within 5 ft.
- Shove Shot
At 3rd level, you may make a shove attack as a bonus action, and Point Blank Marksman's range extends to 10 ft.
- Soldier
Starting at 10th level, whenever an effect requires you to make a Strength, Dexterity, or Constitution saving throw, you may use your reaction to add 1d6 to the roll before the results of the roll have been announced. If succeeding on the saving throw would make you only take half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. You may do this a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining half as many uses (rounded up) at the end of a short or long rest.
- Arcubalistus
At 18th level, you may ignore the loading property of any ranged weapon you wield, and any ranged weapons with the loading or reloading property gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls.

- Quick Shot
At 10th level, as a reaction, you may make an attack of opportunity using a ranged weapon. You don't add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack, unless that modifier is negative. You may spend 1 use of Trick Shot to regain your reaction.
- Mental Reload
At 18th level, as a full turn action, you may regain all uses of Trick Shot and Action Surge, as well as lose 1 level of exhaustion from trauma. You may do this once, regaining use at the end of a long rest.
