Creedmarked Hunter

Alchemical Enhancement. The Hunter has Advantage on Initiative rolls and on saving throws against effects that would alter its memories, control its actions, or incapacitate it through psychic means.

Accelerated Regeneration. At the start of each of its turns, the Hunter regains 5 Hit Points if it has at least 1 Hit Point remaining. This trait doesn't function if the Hunter took Radiant damage since the end of its previous turn.

Iron Creed Conditioning. The hunter is immune to the Charmed and Frightened conditions, except when these conditions are imposed by the Redeemer or an authorized member of the Iron Creed. The hunter has advantage on Intimidation checks and disadvantage on Insight and Persuasion checks involving empathy or kindness.

Optical Purge Line. The hunter can see normally through magical darkness within 60 feet. It automatically recognizes the presence of shapeshifters and magical illusions within 15 feet, though it doesn't necessarily discern their true forms.

Warden's Memory. The hunter perfectly recalls any written text, spoken phrase, or map it has encountered within the previous 30 days.

Shadow Stalker. While in dim light or darkness, the hunter has advantage on Dexterity (Stealth) checks. Additionally, it can take the Hide action as a Bonus Action while in dim light or darkness.

Necrotic Immunity Breach. If the hunter would deal at least 40 necrotic damage with its Serrated Shadow to a necrotic-immune creature during a single turn, before applying immunity, that creature instead takes half that accumulated damage at the end of the turn.

Multiattack. The Hunter makes three attacks using its Serrated Shadow or Black Spark Bolt in any combination.

Serrated Shadow. Melee or Ranged Attack Roll: +8, reach 5 ft. or range 30/120 ft. Hit: 14 (3d6 + 4) Necrotic damage.

Black Spark Bolt. Ranged Attack Roll: +8, reach 60/120 ft. Hit: 15 (2d10 + 4) Radiant damage.

Corruptive Strike (1/Turn). When the hunter hits a creature with its Serrated Shadow, it can deal an additional 3 Necrotic damage to the target. The hunter takes 1 Necrotic damage, which cannot be reduced or prevented by any means.

Blade Lock. If the hunter and another creature wielding a Sparkblade or Serrated Shadow have successfully hit each other with their respective weapons during the same round, the hunter can initiate a blade lock. Both creatures make a contested Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. The winner chooses to deal 9 (2d8) additional Necrotic damage to the loser or push the loser 10 feet away. The loser has disadvantage on its next attack roll.

Cut Through Anything. The hunter focuses its Serrated Shadow upon a nonmagical, inanimate object, silently cutting through up to 1 foot of metal, 2 feet of stone, or 5 feet of wood or softer material. When simply attacking objects, the weapon deals 16 Necrotic damage per hit regardless of the object's normal damage resistances. This ability cannot penetrate artifacts, adamantine, or divine materials.

Manifest Serrated Shadow. The hunter manifests or dismisses its Serrated Shadow. The manifested weapon cannot be disarmed through ordinary means. If destroyed, it can be recreated through a 1-minute ritual costing 5 Hit Points.

Marked for Extermination. The hunter designates one creature it can see within 60 feet as its quarry for 1 minute, until the target dies, or until it designates another creature. The hunter has advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track its quarry and deals an additional 7  (2d6) Necrotic damage to it once on each of the hunter's turns when it hits with its Serrated Shadow.

Shadow Slip. While in dim light or darkness, the hunter magically teleports up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space it can see that is also in dim light or darkness.

Deflect Attack. Trigger: The Hunter is hit by an attack it can see. Response: The Hunter generates a brief Necrotic barrier, adding +3 to its AC against the triggering attack, potentially causing it to miss.

Relentless Pursuit. Trigger: The hunter's marked quarry voluntarily moves out of the hunter's melee reach.
Response: The hunter moves up to half its Speed toward the quarry without provoking Opportunity Attacks. If it ends this movement within 5 feet of the quarry, it can make one Serrated Shadow attack against it.
