Blistering Bolt

As an action, you gain adjust your bow to deal optimal damage. You can spend 1 minute tuning your bow, and on the first attack made, an extra d10 force damage is added. This benefit resets the moment you fire it, and you can only use this feature the amount of times equal to half your ranger level per long rest.

Deflection

When you miss an attack with your bow, as a bonus action you can force the arrow to rebound off the previous target and onto a new target. You must make a new to hit roll, and critical hits do not give you bonus damage when you use this feature. This feature can only be used the amount of times as your dexterity modifier per long rest.

Assasin’s Edge

At 11th level, when you make a critical hit with your bow, you can either roll an additional damage die, or you can cause them to be knocked prone. The prone target has advantage against you on its first attack against you after it is knocked prone, but it must be within 1 hour. If the target succeeds on its strength saving throw (DC 10 + Your Ranger level divided by 2), you can ignore this effect. 

Piercing

At 15th level, when you roll a critical hit with your bow, the arrow can pierce straight through the target. The target takes an additional d12 force damage, and then if another entity is behind it, you must make an attack roll against that target, hostile or not, with disadvantage. If it succeeds, the target takes half damage from the attack.

Improved Critical

When you make an attack with a bow or crossbow, it is a critical hit on a 19 or a 20.
