Prerequisite: Ranger (Beast Master)

Your body has become a living laboratory, channeling the residual essence of a once-demonic nature into vibrant, adaptive life. You've learned to imbue your strikes--and your loyal companion--with the power of rapidly evolving microscopic life, turning each marked wound into a burst of transformative energy.

Enhanced Hunter's Mark

When you cast Hunter's Mark, the extra damage increases by one additional damage die. For example, if Hunter's Mark normally adds 1d6 damage, it now adds 2d6 damage on each hit.

Adaptive Outbreak

When you hit a creature marked by your Hunter's Mark with a weapon attack, you can use a bonus action to unleash through your beast companion. Choose one of the following effects:

-Outbreak of Decay: The target and each creature within 5ft must succeed on a Constitution saving throw(DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier) or take a 1d6 acid damage as the microscopic life rapidly proliferate disrupting their bodily functions.

-Outbreak of Renewal: Alternatively, you may choose to empower your beast companion.  For the next round, when your companion hits a creature with a melee attack, it deals additional damage equal to your proficiency bonus,  as the adaptive life fuels its ferocity. 

Acid Immunity & Poison Absorption 

Your body has adaptive to the corrosive nature of these microscopic entities. You gain immunity to acid damage.  Additionally, whenever you take poison damage, you can choose to absorb it,  gaining temporary hit points equal to half the poison damage taken(rounded down). While you have these temporary hit points, any successful weapon attack a creature affected by your Hunter's Mark deals an extra 1d6 acid damage,  as your absorbed poison converts into a burst or corrosive energy.
