Due to your fragility in combat, you have learned ways to get the upper hand on your opponents from a distance. 

 

Note: I saw this under Hooded Archer and revised it with more of my own personal flavor preferences. Hope you enjoy!

Crafted Arrows

Starting at 3rd level, You gain the knowledge to begin crafting special arrows from the crafted arrow options.

You gain 3 crafted arrow options at this level then 1 more at levels 5, 9, 13, and 17. 

You can have up to 10 crafted arrows in your quiver at a time.

This capacity increases by 5 at levels 5, 9, 13, and 17.

To make your arrows, you must make an Intelligence Check (Tinker's Tools) with the DC listed in the crafted arrow option's description.

On a success, you craft an arrow of the type you wanted to make among the arrow options you have.

You can craft a number of arrows equal to your Proficiency Modifier + your Intelligence Modifier. This resets on a short or long rest.

Each arrow you craft takes 5gp of material or 10 minutes of foraging for supplies. Failure to craft does not consume the materials. 

According to your DM's discretion, a component's pouch may contain the materials you need.
