The gifts you have received have granted you supernatural talents. When you use this feature you can roll a hit die and add the number rolled to one ability check or saving throw. You can wait until after you rolls The D20 before deciding to use Hunter's Blood, but must decide before the DM says whether the roll succeeds or fails. Once the hit die is rolled, it is lost. A creature can have only use 1 hit die per D20 roll.
