Hell Rider

Join the ranks of the Hell Riders and embrace the power of the inferno. Ride with the winds of hell at your back and the screams of the damned in your ears. Doom comes from below.

A Ranger Conclave

Hell Riders are those who have unleashed the power of the Nine Hells. Fiery retribution is theirs to command.

Level 3: Fiendish Presence

You have the dark presence of a hell rider. You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill.

Additionally, while a creature is marked by your Hunter’s Mark, you have advantage on any Charisma (Intimidation) check you make against it.

You have learned to harness the power of the hells. You gain the following benefits.

• Fiend's Mark. Whenever you mark a creature with the Hunter's Mark spell, you can force that creature to make a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC. On failure, it is Frightened of you until the end of its next turn. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and gain all expended uses back after a long rest.

• Zariel's Stride. As a Bonus Action, you may wreathe yourself and your mount, if you are riding one, in flames. Until the end of your turn, your and your mount's movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks, and if you move within 5 feet of a creature or an object that isn’t being worn or carried during this turn, it takes 1d6 fire damage from your trail of heat. A creature or object can take this damage only once during a turn. You regain the ability to use this feature when you finish a long rest.

You learn how to summon a mount from hell. You can cast the find steed spell without consuming any material component. You can also cast it once without a spell slot, and regain the ability to cast it in this way when you finish a long rest.

Any steed you summon with this spell is a fiend.

Level 15: Infernal Punishment

You can punish those who harm you or your steed. When a creature within 60 feet of you that you can see hits you or your mount, if you are riding one, with an attack, you can use your Reaction to wreath the attacker in flames. The creature must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw against your spell save DC or take 2d8 +  your proficiency bonus Fire damage.
