Criminal Bounty Hunter

While bounty hunting is a task many of a more courageous bent undertake to turn coin, there are those rangers who received all their training with the specific intent to become a hunter of criminals to civilization. These rangers know their city as well as they know the local landscape, and they can blend into crowds as well as they hide in the shadows. When their unique brand of magic is utilized, they are even able to detain their targets in amazing ways that other primal spellcasters have yet to effectively imitate. Given enough time and influence, these hunters grow to become master jailers, too, as none of their humanoid quarry seem able to escape them once these rangers have apprehended them. Through any of the known worlds, the Criminal Bounty Hunter is capable of hunting down anyone the law deems necessary to apprehend or eliminate.

Veteran Shackler

11th-level Criminal Bounty Hunter feature

At 11th level, you have become an expert in conflicts with the kinds of creatures you hunt most frequently, which is criminal humanoids. You score critical hits on attack rolls of 19 or 20 when attacking a humanoid creature.

Additionally, if you are transporting or carrying a humanoid body and that creature is restrained with rope or cuffs, locked bars, or manacles, or also is unconscious, that creature is in all ways treated like an object and has no chance to escape unless in some way you or another creature take action to free that creature. The creature may still speak or make other mental actions unless in some way you prevent them from doing so, but they cannot move in any other way. You are always considered to have the methods and other tools on your person to keep that creature secured safely for the means of transporting them.

Detainment Expert

15th-level Criminal Bounty Hunter feature

At 15th level, you have learned to waylay humanoids to be able to apprehend them more easily. If you are using blunted ammunition in a ranged weapon or using a bludgeoning melee weapon, you can now use the Belay action as an attack action, and when you do, you choose a humanoid target and roll a weapon attack. If this attack hits, this creature is dealt double the damage from your attack as long as the total damage dealt would reduce that humanoid to 0 hit points, or you deal it normal damage for the attack if double damage would not reduce that creature to 0 hit points, instead. When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with the Belay action, they do not begin dying, and they will remain unconscious with 1 hit point for a number of hours equal to 6 minus their Constitution modifier (minimum one hour).

This wagon can have 2 containment blocks, which are each a 10 x 10 foot square equipped with reinforced bracings to mount manacles, rope tie points, or other methods of restraint and containment inside them. A containment block may restrain one large size, two medium size, and four small size creatures safely within the wagon, usually through an apparatus such as a steel prison cage or metal boxes large enough to contain these beings.
Containment Facility. You have a special building no smaller than 100 feet square. Bigger buildings than this with any additional features can be purchased for the base cost of that building without the cost of this facility. You are able to build this facility safely and capably on land you are considered to own over a process of 1 month. This building contains 8 containment blocks, as described above, and you are treated as having all necessary facilities to safely transfer humanoid creatures to and from any of the containment blocks and transport them anywhere within 50 feet of the building with no chance of their escape. Your facility is secure and cannot be broken out of by the creatures you contain within it.
