Harrier

Harrier Rogues turn the battlefield into their personal skyline. Masters of momentum, they weave through enemies with impossible footwork, scaling walls, skipping across water, and striking in rapid, surgical bursts. Every motion fuels the next flight, each dodge becomes a launchpad, each hit an opening, each fall a weapon. A Harrier does not fight on the battlefield, they fight over around and trought it, a blur of velocity and precision that leaves foes off balance and gasping for breath as they try to keep up.

Level 3: To Catch a Predator

3th-Level Harrier Feature

At level 3, you have honed the ability to pressure others into revealing their intentions while keeping your own motives hidden. 

You gain proficiency in Insight and Deception if you don’t already have it.

When you make an Insight check to understand a creatures motives, you gain advantage on your next Deception check against that creature. Likewise, when you make a Deception check against a creature, you gain advantage on your next Insight check against that creature.

You can maintain one “looped” advantage per creature at a time. This increases as you gain levels in this class by two at 9th level, three at 13th level, and five at 17th level.

 

Level 3: Opportunistic Predator

3th-Level Harrier Feature

At Level 3, you thrive in danger and steal momentum from your enemies, turning each of  they decisions in a potential mistake to be exploited. 

When you would provoke an opportunity attack from a creature and it chooses not to make that attack, it takes 2d4 bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage (your choice). A creature takes this damage only once per round and not if it can’t make opportunity attacks.

This damage becomes 2d6 at 9th level, 2d8 at 13th level, and 2d10 at 17th level.

 

Level 3: Harrier Momentum

3th-Level Harrier Feature

At level 3, you learn to turn motion, openings, and near misses into calculated evasive and offensive techniques with these characteristics and conditions:

Your Momentum fuels special reactive maneuvers called Harrier Techniques. You can not use Harrier Techniques while wearing medium armor, heavy armor, or a shield.

You can use a number of Harrier Techniques each round equal to your Harrier Limit 1 at 3rd level, 2 at 9th, 3 at 13th, and 4 at 17th. Each technique has its own trigger and requires your reaction. After you use one Harrier Technique, you can use additional Harrier Techniques during the same round as free reactions, provided you are in initiative and you do not exceed your Harrier Limit.

Since you used your reaction to activate the Harrier Technique, you can not use any other reaction based feature during a round in which you use a Harrier Technique.

If a Harrier Technique calls for a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier. This DC increases by any effect, such as a feat, item, or spell, that would increase the save DC of your Cunning Strike features.

Harrier Techniques

At level 3, you learn and can use any of these techniques listed bellow as a reaction, when you meet the condition trigger witouth going above your Harrier limit. You learn more techniques at 13th level and again at 17th level.

Go around

When a creature hits you with a melee attack, or when you must make a Dexterity saving throw against a trap. You can roll 1d4 and add the result to your AC or the saving throw, respectively. Potentially causing the attack to miss or the save to succeed.

Vaulting Riposte

When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to flip over, slide beneath, or circle around it, moving up to 10 feet to a space you can see. If the creature has multiple attacks, this movement occurs after it finishes all of its attacks.The creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw or suffer a 1d4 penalty to its attack rolls and saving throws until the end of its next turn.

Sliding Step

When while moving you enter a creatures space. You move through its space by sliping through its footing or using it as step. The creature must make a Wisdom save. On a fail you are considered to have taken and succeed the Hide action against that creature until the end of this turn. If the target can see you at end of the turn the conditions drops. Or alternatively when not in initiative and you would be spotted by a creature while moving, such as entering its space or otherwise coming into its line of sight, you can use nearby terrain to attempt obscure yourself by taking the Hide action with Disadvantage.

Wall Kick Dash

When you move within 5 ft of a vertical surface. You kick off the wall to redirect yourself moving a distance equal to your Long Jump distance (minimum 5 ft). This movement may provoke Opportunity Attack, but all such attacks are made at Disadvantage.

Rebound Counter

When A creature misses you with a melee attack, You redirect its force. The creature makes a Strength save. On failure, it immediately makes the same melee attack, with a new roll to hit, against a creature of your choice it can reach. Or alternatively outside of combat, when you move adjacent to a creature, you can use this reaction to subtly bump into it. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or drop or spill whatever it is carrying, potentially causing a minor commotion. You may attempt a Deception check to avoid drawing suspicion from the creature or onlookers.

Missguided Shot

When a creature misses you with a ranged attack. You reposition and force confusion, Move up to half your movement, but not closer to the attacker. The attacker makes an Intelligence save. On a fail, it immediately makes the same ranged attack, with a new roll to hit, against the creature directly behind where you were. Or alternatively outside of combat, when interacting with a creature, you can subtly assess its mood and intentions while maneuvering nearby. Make an Insight check against the creatures passive investigation (or a contested roll if the DM prefers) without revealing your scrutiny.
