Predator's GazeYou have been forcibly evolved to your next stage but it has not fully taken effect. Your heightened senses as a vampire have been pushed to their peak and this opens the opportunity for your vampiric evolution to take effect. You gain the following benefits:
- Your Critical hit threshold is reduced by 2.
- When a creature scores a critical hit on a melee attack roll, it can roll a d100. With a result equal or greater than 70, it activates a Predator's Gaze, maximizing its critical damage dice. In addition, it advances one grade of momentum, described in the momentum table. Also, while in momentum, critical hits activate Predator's Gaze without needing to roll a d100.
- Momentum lasts until the end of the current combat or more at the DM's judgment when it gets to grade 5 it goes back to grade 2. Once it is over, a creature can’t enter Predator's Gaze, regaining the ability to do so upon completing a short or long rest, or using its inspiration to do so.
Momentum Table
| Grade | Benefits |
|---|---|
| 1st grade | Gain Potential Up condition |
| 2nd grade | Regain uses of a feature that only recovers with a short rest |
| 3rd grade | Adds proficiency bonus to melee damage roll |
| 4th grade | Predator's Gaze and Critical hit range is reduced by an additional 1 |
| 5th grade | Regain uses of a feature that only recovers with a long rest |
Potential Up
While in this condition the creature experiences a feeling of omnipotence, as if everything revolves around them, allowing it to operate at 120% of their maximum potential. The creature gains a +2 bonus to all attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws it makes.
