Combat Superiority

At 3rd level, you gain the following Bounty Hunter features:

Maneuvers. You learn two maneuvers of your choice from the list at the end of this Archetype. You can use only one maneuver per attack. When you gain a level, you can replace one maneuver you know with another of your choice. You learn one additional maneuver at 7th, 11th, and 15th level.

Superiority Dice. You have three d6 superiority dice. To use a maneuver you must expend one of these dice, and you regain all expended dice when you finish a short or long rest.

As you gain levels in this class your superiority dice grow in size and number. At 7th level you gain a fourth superiority die, and your dice become d8s. At 15th level, you gain a fifth superiority die and all of your superiority dice become d10s.

Saving Throws. Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice).

Ambush

When you make a Dexterity (Stealth) check or roll for initiative, you can expend one superiority die and add it to the roll, provided you aren't surprised or incapacitated.

Blind

As a bonus action, you can expend a superiority die, forcing a target within 10 feet to make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, it takes damage equal to your superiority die and is blinded until the beginning of your next turn.
