Horror Stalker

Fighters who follow this archetype operate on the fringes of civilization. They don’t fight for glory or gold; they hunt the things that go bump in the night. Relying entirely on themselves, they use dirty, relentless tactics to slaughter monsters and survive the psychological toll of fighting cosmic and supernatural horrors.

Anatomical Exploitation

You know exactly where to strike a horror to put it down. Weapon attacks you make against your marked quarry score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. Furthermore, your weapon attacks ignore any damage resistances possessed by aberrations, fiends, monstrosities, and undead.

Your relentless pursuit cannot be halted. You become immune to the paralyzed and restrained conditions. Additionally, when you use your Action Surge, you gain a climb speed and a swim speed equal to your walking speed until the end of your turn, and your attacks during that turn deal an extra 2d6 damage on a hit.
