Devil Hunter, 2nd Variant (5e Class)
Devil Hunter
Some claim demons are nothing but empty husks, capable of no emotion outside of pure hatred. Unstoppable killing machines, hellbent on causing unfathomable suffering to every living being unlucky enough to cross their path. But there exist few people in this world who disagree with that belief. An elite group of extremely skilled fighters, possessing hidden demonic power of their own. However, beyond their skill and experience they possess an even greater weapon: Style. “Why just beat your enemy when you can make them wish they never crawled out of their fiery hole in the ground in the first place?” is the ideology of those who bear the title “Devil Hunter”. Anyways, enough chatter. Let’s get to it!
[Disclaimer: when making this class, we opted for E & I, Gunslinger, and Blue Rose to be based on hand crossbows rather than guns. If your campaign setting has guns within it, you may change them accordingly.]
Devil Hunters are those who employ style as their weapon, dealing more damage the more stylishly they're fighting. Skilled with a diverse set of weaponry, they can adapt to nearly any situation they're faced with, and when their back’s against the wall, they have an ace in the hole: Devil Trigger.

Balrog
At 9th level, you forge the gauntlets, greaves, and shoulder pads created with the sealed power of the king of Fire Hell.
- 2 in 1!
Balrog consists of 2 different fighting modes: Blow Mode, and Kick Mode. You may use a bonus action to swap between Blow Mode or Kick Mode.
- Blow Mode
Flurries of punches followed by insanely powerful killer blows, this mode strikes fear into even the most hardened demons. Each blow deals 2d4 per punch. But there’s a trick up your sleeve, after 4 successfully landed punches, flames engulf your arms, enhancing the power of your punches! This status is called Ignition Mode and powers up your attacks with Balrog in both modes! When in Ignition Mode and in Blow Mode, Balrog deals a total of 3d4 bludgeoning + 2d8 fire damage! This effect lasts for 2 turns before the flames dissipate. Heat it up!
- Kick Mode
Intense strings of mighty kicks characterize this style! Each kick deals 2d6. Ready to kick things up a notch? Use your action to violently breakdance and heat up the battle! Doing so will trigger Ignition Mode, or if you want to be more stylish, it will “Ignite the Flame” and grant you fire damage in addition to your already existent damage! The total damage you will be doing is 2d6 bludgeoning + 2d8 fire damage. Similarly to Blow Mode, this effect ends after 2 turns.
Let’s Get This Party Started!

This amount of moves is getting crazy! Depending on what weapons you use, you gain new abilities!
For Rebellion / Devil Sword: Roundtrip
Roundtrip: As an attack, you can hurl your sword at an enemy within 60 feet. They must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC (Charisma). If they fail, they are hit by the sword for the maximum amount of damage, their movement is set to 0, and the sword stays there spinning in place for two turns, coming back at the start of the third turn, or earlier if you decide to call it back. The enemy is stuck within the swords range for the duration of those two turns, as their movement is set to 0. If they pass the saving throw, they are hit by it once for maximum damage, and it comes back as normal. When you receive your Devil Sword, instead of throwing it, you summon a spectral duplicate of your Devil Sword and throw that instead. The ability acts the same, except for when the sword returns. Instead of the spectral sword returning after the two turns or returning early, it simply vanishes.
For Balrog: Rising Phoenix / Around the World
Rising Phoenix: When in Blow Mode and Ignition Mode, you may use all your attacks to violently uppercut one enemy, dealing triple the normal damage, but instantly ending Ignition Mode.
Around the World: When in Kick Mode and Ignition Mode, you may use all your attacks to viciously kick an enemy an absurd amount of times, juggling them in the air, dealing triple the normal damage die, but also ending Ignition Mode.
For Polearms: Revolution
Revolution: Flail your polearm wildly in front of you, racking up hits, and finish with a demobilizing swipe. This ability uses all your attacks to hit one enemy, but each hit does one more damage die than it usually does. The enemy must then pass a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC (Charisma) or be knocked prone. Once you use this ability, you cannot use it again until next combat. If you miss all of your attacks with this ability, you regain the use of this ability.
For Axes: Devil May I Axe you a Question
Devil May I Axe you a Question: If trees could feel fear, they’d understand your enemies situation. You spin around wildly, ending in an incredibly destructive chop. Choose a target within a range that equals your movement speed. With your axe in hand, you wildly spin around while making your way to your designated target. If you cross by an enemy within reach on your way to your designated target, they must make a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC (Charisma) or be hit for your weapons damage + 2 more damage die and knocked prone on a failed save or hit for normal damage and not knocked prone on a passed save. When you reach your target, roll to hit with disadvantage, but if you hit, you deal 4 times the normal damage. Regardless of if you hit the last attack or not, you cannot use this ability again until the next combat. Spin to win!
For Nunchucks: Lightning Percussion
Lightning Percussion: Choose a target within 20 feet, you extend your nunchucks beyond their normal limit and attack that target for 3d6 bludgeoning + 4d8 lightning damage. This ability counts as one attack. You can only use this ability three times, regaining the use of this ability at the start of next combat.
- BoltSlinger
Twosome Time: You may shoot at two enemies at once when using a ranged attack.
- Royal Guard
When making a Royal Guard check, if you equal or exceed the enemies roll to hit, you will take no damage, gain a stack of Royal Guard, and receive a charge of Devil Trigger. Royal Guard stacks now deal 15 damage per stack.
Devil Sword
At level 17, you concentrate colossal amounts of demonic energy into Rebellion, forging your Devil Sword. Infused with demonic power and your own power alike, well, let’s just say this is a party you don’t want to miss. 2d10 magical slashing damage with the versatile (2d12) property with a +3 to attack and damage rolls. And due to the sword being infused with your energy, it has become one with you, allowing you to summon it whenever you deem necessary. Rebellion’s abilities carry over.
Sin Devil Trigger
At 18th level, you may use all of your Devil Trigger charges and an action to absorb your Devil Sword into yourself, transforming you into Sin Devil Trigger. This form lasts for 1 minute, and you gain the following benefits additionally to the benefits of Devil Trigger:
- You may add your Strength modifier to all attack and damage rolls.
- You have immunity to all non-magical physical damage, and resistance to all magical physical damage.
- You have a flying speed of 60 feet.
While in Sin Devil Trigger, you do not gain the benefits of the playstyles from the Legendary Devil Hunter path.

Tool Proficiencies: Artisan’s tools Saving Throws: Strength and Constitution
Red Queen
At 1st level, you are equipped with an incredibly powerful sword. Red Queen deals 1d8 slashing damage and has the Finesse property.

Wire Snatch

As a bonus action on your turn, choose an enemy you can see within 30 feet, if the enemy is medium or smaller, you grab them and pull them towards you. If they are large or larger, you pull yourself towards them. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per combat, regaining the charges at the start of next combat.
Devil Breakers
At 3rd level, you finish constructing one of the prosthetic arms in the table below. Each of which have amazing abilities and each one is as effective in combat as they are equally sick as hell. Choose one of the Devil Breakers from the list to gain immediately and unlock the blueprint for. You unlock more Devil Breakers at levels 6th, 7th, 13th, 15th, and 17th. When you unlock new Devil Breakers, you only unlock the blueprint for new Devil Breakers. Devil Breakers also have two sets of abilities, one is the default ability of the breaker that can be used at will, and the second ability is called the Breaker’s “Break Age” and is significantly more powerful than the basic ability, however, it causes the Breaker to shatter. Changing Breakers is a delicate process, and due to this, whenever you change breakers, it takes your entire action to do so.
- Overture
Basic: You thrust your hand toward your enemy and electrify them, you deal 2d6 lightning damage. This attack has advantage if the target is wearing metal armor.
Break Age: You grab your enemy and disconnect your arm, transforming it into a time-bomb. The arm explodes after two turns, or alternatively, it can be manually detonated if the target is shot. The explosion deals 4d10 force damage.
- Gerbera GP01
Basic: As a reaction to an enemy attacking you, you can make a Strength check to launch yourself 10 feet away in any direction, avoiding the attack.
Basic 2: As a reaction to an enemy attacking you with a ranged weapon, make a Strength check to focus the power of Gerbera in front of you, reflecting the projectile back to the attacker.
Break Age: You fire all the condensed energy within your arm in one blast. This blast of energy forms a line 100 feet long and 5 feet wide that blasts out from Gerbera in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 8d6 force damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
- Punch Line
Basic: Get em’ girl! You launch your arm out of its socket like a rocket to deal 2d4 bludgeoning damage for 2 turns. You can perform other actions while this ability is active.
Basic 2: Riding hot! Use your bonus action to mount Punch Line like a surfboard, flying past enemies with both ease and flair. Enemies have disadvantage on attack rolls and cannot make attacks of opportunity. This doubles your movement speed, but you cannot attack while in this state. You must use a bonus action to dismount.
Break Age: Blastoff! Charge up Punch Line’s boosters to deliver a devilly devastating uppercut! Deal 6d4 bludgeoning damage.
- Buster Arm
Basic / Break Age: Bust and Break, until it is done. In contrast to the previous Breakers, Buster Arm only has one ability. You attempt to grapple an enemy, but they have advantage against being grappled, unless they are under a different condition such as stunned. However, if they are grappled, you inflict 12d10 force damage, and then they are no longer grappled. The Buster Arm only breaks if you manage to grapple an enemy.
- Ragtime
Basic: You may freely cast the Slow spell. Nobody move!
A creature affected by this spell makes another Wisdom saving throw at the end of its turn. On a successful save, the Effect ends for it.
Break Age: You throw your arm at the ground, shattering it, which casts the slow spell at 3 times the range, and every enemy within the range must make the save. Take your time!
- Sweet Surrender
Basic: You activate the arm, which causes it to vibrate, healing minor wounds you might have accumulated during battle. Heal a number of hit points equal to your level + constitution mod per turn. The maximum amount of turns you may do this is 5 turns per combat.
Break Age: You detach your arm and destroy it, causing healing energy to flow through you and your allies. After you end your turn, any damage dealt is stored in the arm. You may use a reaction to destroy the arm, and whenever you destroy the arm, you and your allies heal that much health.
Crafting Devil Breakers
To craft a Devil Breaker, you would need the appropriate blueprint for the Devil Breaker, Smith’s Tools, and 100 Gold Pieces. Creating a Devil Breaker also takes 24 hours.
Exceed
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to increase the metaphorical and literal fire power of Red Queen. As a bonus action, you may rev your sword to gain a charge. This charge deals 2d4 additional fire damage. Red Queen gains additional Exceed charges at levels 6 and 9. I’m baggin’ this bitch!
Color Up
At 3rd level, you gain new ammunition for Blue Rose. Use a bonus action to load this ammunition, and count your luck! After firing Blue Rose, pick a number from 1-4 and roll a d4.

Devil Buster
At 18th level, your Devil Trigger enhances your wire snatch ability, reaching out with an arm of pure demonic energy to pull enemies toward you. This ability behaves the same as Wire Snatch, but the range is increased to 50 feet. Along with this, your Devil Trigger enhances your physical strength, allowing you to perform a weaker, but still badass, version of Buster Arm’s Break Age ability without Buster Arm equipped. This attack deals 6d8 bludgeoning damage in your normal form, 8d8 force damage in Devil Trigger, and functions identically to Buster Arm’s Break Age attack.
You gain these benefits in your normal form.
Unbreakable Breakers
At 20th level you have perfected your Devil Breakers, fixing the rampant explosion issue. Break Age attacks no longer detonate your Devil Breakers.

A creature that fails the saving throw takes 4d6 force damage and is stunned until the end of your next turn. On a successful save a creature takes half of the damage and is not stunned.
