Monster Hunter

A monster hunter is an artificer that makes a living by hunting monsters and doing requests for civilians. Monster hunters have wide knowledge and a higher exercise capacity compared to normal people, so this is a field of work not too many people can handle. Most people become a monster hunter so they can gain money, notoriety, improve their living conditions, or other reasons. Some even become monster hunters to atone for crimes they have committed.

Monster Hunter Spells

Starting at 3rd level, you always have certain spell prepared after you reach particular levels in this class. The Monster Hunter Spells table shows the hunter spells that you know, along with the spells associated in the table with your Hunting Style. These spells count as artificer spells for you, but they don't count against the number of artificer spells you prepare.

Hunting Style

By third level, your martial training has borne fruit and you have defined the kind of Monster Hunter you want to become. You gain proficiency in martial weapons.

Clasher

You have developed a hunting style that leaps into the fray and focuses on offense. You gain the following  benefits:
- You gain proficiency in Heavy Armor.
- Your hit point maximum increases by 3, and it increases by 1 every time you gain a level in this class.  Additionally, whenever you would roll hit dice to recover hit points, you may recover 1 additional hit point for each hit die.

- You gain proficiency in dexterity saving throws.

When you adopt this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the Survival skill. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency in the Athletics or Acrobatics skill (your choice) instead. Additionally, whenever you would make a wisdom Survival check, you can instead choose to make an intelligence Survival check.

Specialised Weapon

Starting at 3rd level, you learn to use your Tinker's Tools to enhance a piece of equipment. Your options are detailed at the end of the class description. Your enhancement remains on an item(s) indefinitely, but when you die, the enhancement ceases to function and the item reverts to what it originally was. Once after a long rest, you may choose one Specialized Weapon option. You can improve one piece of equipment (or multiple if it is required for the option) and it will gain the benefits. If another creature attempts to use your enhanced equipment, they cannot use the item's enhancements. If you choose to enhance another piece of equipment, the enhancement on your previous equipment ceases to function and the item reverts to what it originally was.

Additionally at 15th level, the second option of your specialized weapon becomes available and you can’t be disarmed of your specialized weapon unless you are incapacitated.
