"I've got you now Enron, you stuck up bastard, you'll never see this coming..."

The ambuscadier has mastered the art of studying their target and ensuring that the ensuing battle against them will be lop-sided to the benefit of this wily hunter.

The ambuscadier has mastered the use of the hunters mark, it now becoming stronger and more reliable. Those who possess knowledge of it's use refer to it as the hunter's brand. More sturdy, more reliable, more powerful.

Hunter's Brand

The necessity of being able to track your prey effectively in order to set up ambushes has led to you developing your hunter's mark into a different creation entirely, making it more reliable and powerful than it was before.

At level 3, you gain the ability to brand a target with a mystical sigil. As a bonus action, you can brand any creature. For the next 24 hours, you have the ability to deal a bonus 1d8 force damage to the branded target, on a successful weapon attack, as well as gain advantage on perception of survival checks made to track them. You can currently only have one brand active at a time, but can change targets using a bonus action if a target with the brand dies.

Ambuscadier's Pounce

At level 15, you gain the ability to teleport between targets branded by your hunter's brand, as long as you are within 40ft of that target. You also gain two extra brands, but these can only be placed onto objects instead of creatures.
