Hunter of the 5th fleet

Hunters of the 5th Fleet are elite trackers and slayers tasked with studying and maintaining the natural balance of dangerous ecosystems.

Through careful observation, preparation, and relentless pursuit, these hunters learn to exploit the weaknesses of powerful creatures. Whether researching unknown species or eliminating threats, they adapt their tactics to each hunt, using knowledge as their greatest weapon.

Hunter’s Marksmanship

Starting at 3rd level, As a bonus action, you can mark one creature you can see within 90 feet of you as your quarry for 1 minute or until it drops to 0 hit points.

The first time on each of your turns that you hit the marked creature with a weapon attack, you deal an extra 1d6 damage to it.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

This feature does not require concentration.

You can have only one creature marked by this feature at a time.

A creature that succeeds on the saving throw is immune to this feature until the end of your next turn.
