Truepoint Ranger

Truepoint Rangers are versatile warriors who have perfected certain aspects of battle through years of training or pure genetic talent. Their versatility keeps each encounter unpredictable by enemies and helps them adapt to most battle situations. Some choose a balance of spells and combat techniques, some focus on defensive dances that render them untouchable and others strive for the deadliest weapon use possible. Often they become mercenaries, assassins or royal guards in order to profit from their experience. Less often they become soldiers who long for their next chance at using their skills.

Limited Energy

Each time you use a feat given to you by this subclass that expends an action or bonus action you expend your highest level spell slot available. If you run out of spell slots you may still use your subclass features but suffer one point of exhaustion per ability used.

Ways Of The Ranger

You develop specific skills that resonate with your battle soul. Choose one of the following options

Way of the Blade

 When in melee combat, the ranger's AC increases by 1 and the ranger can take the Blade Dance reaction.

Way of the Ghost

You gain the Ethereal Blessing reaction and can hide using a bonus action once per turn.

Way of the Wind

When in melee combat, you can attack with ranged attacks as normal. Range attacks made within 5 feet of the target ignore 1 point of the target's AC.

 

Combat Discipline

The Truepoint Ranger finds merit in the dance of battle rather than the ways of the arcane. Choose from one of the options below.

Bow Master

You gain complete control over your longbow and shortbow attacks giving you access to the following abilities.

Dueling Master

When in one on one combat with a creature your AC increases by 1 and you gain the Ensanguinate action.

Juxtapose

You gain the Juxtapose action

Juxtapose:

Duration: 2 rounds. (12 seconds)

Using an action you create 3 exact duplicates of yourself. While one of these duplicates remains in the same line of sight as you, any creature that attempts to make a targeted attack on you must make a Wisdom save DC 14 or the attack is directed at a duplicate.

Duplicates have your stats but are void of all feats, have 1HP and deal 1 damage. They follow in formation around you and repeat your exact actions until you spend 1 bonus action to direct them. You may split the duplicates any which way you want but they may not take any actions outside of your bonus action (No AoO, holding movement/attacks).
