Devil Hunter (5e Class)

Devil Hunter

Some do not speak, some cannot shut up. This group of strange warriors have been within our shadow for a long time, but I see no evil deeds from them. As I have seen it, they hunt everything otherworldly and fiendish. ~ Unknown

A weakened man walks through the crowded market, bumping into almost everyone, his eyes black as death and his steps silent. All of a sudden, this man turns into a fiend, screaming out its lungs, stunning everyone around. Guards attempt to take down the beast, but they are too weak to do so and are defeated in an one sided battle. As the battle calms down, another man slowly walks towards the fiend, not being phased by its power. The fiend rushes the man and within the second of guards being in shock of this man appearing out of nowhere and being attacked at the same time, the battle is over. A small silhouette of his hands moving through thin air seemed to obliterate the beast at the spot where it attacked. The man looked around; and seeing that no one is in danger, he moved on, not to be seen again.

Devil Hunters are people (any humanoid, really) who have been fiend scarred in a certain way that would define them. Either as a child(More common) or as an older individual. These "scars" appear differently for each person. Black marks on the body, deformed body part or anything in between. Usually with time, the scarred individual can use the fiend's power for themselves and their goals. Either to hunt down the same fiend or a more personal goal. Devil Hunters lose all sense of physical weaponry and armor because the power that they were given by the "scar" allows them to use one or two (Depending on the Hunter style) weapons that they will always use in battle.

It is said that the path of the Devil Hunter chooses its champions, but some say it is a simple curse, ready to take over the land. Regardless of that, the Devil Hunters have always kept to themselves, rushing into the light only if there would be an immediate danger of a fiend or a similar creature around.

Bound Weapon

Your fiend scar, gives you new natural powers. One of these powers is to summon your bound weapon. This weapon is completely a part of you and wielding any other weapon seems unnatural. Bound weapons are summoned to attack and are dismissed immediately after the action has concluded. This allows the Devil Hunter to have their hands free for other actions if there are any available. All bound weapons are considered light and finesse. Each style has a bound weapon die they use. Each style has a bound weapon ruling that you must abide to:

Swordmaster: Swordmaster is allowed any melee weapon that is available in the known DnD universe and is only allowed one.

Guardian: Guardian is allowed to have a simple melee and a simple ranged weapon.

Ranger: Ranger is allowed a dagger and any ranged weapon.

Trickster: Trickster is only allowed to have a one or two daggers, depending on how the player wants to play them.
