Rangers who heed the calling of the Hunter are no mere trappers or furriers. They are the last line of defense between the natural and the supernatural world. Hunters seek, stalk, and slay monstrous predators like outsiders, fiends, and undead who devastate populations with their malign magic.

Killer Instinct
3rd-Level Hunter Feature
As a bonus action, choose a creature within 60 feet of you that you can see. You immediately learn the creature’s immunities, resistances, and vulnerabilities, or you learn if it has none. This feature doesn’t function if the target is magically concealed by a nondetection spell or similar effect that counters divination magic.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your PB and regain all uses of it when you finish a long rest.
Relentless Pursuit
3rd-Level Hunter Feature
Your tenacity wears down even potent foes. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you deal extra damage if the target is below its hit point maximum. The extra damage is equal to the amount your Mystic Mark feature deals at your level and is of the same damage type as the weapon. You can deal this extra damage only once per turn.
Favored Foe
7th-Level Hunter Feature
As part of a long rest, you can spend time reviewing your research and preparing to face a specific type of monster.
Choose a type of enemy: Aberration, Beast, Celestial, Construct, Dragon, Elemental, Fey, Fiend, Giant, Monstrosity, Ooze, Plant, or Undead. For 24 hours, creatures of that type have disadvantage on attack rolls against you. You also have advantage on saves against being charmed, frightened, or possessed by them.
At the end of your next long rest, you can choose the same type of creature or a different creature type as your Favored Foe.
No Escape
11th-Level Hunter Feature
When a creature marked by your mystic mark attempts to move, you can use your reaction to magically teleport up to 30 feet. If you teleport to a space within your weapon’s reach of the target, you can immediately make an opportunity attack as part of the same reaction.
Predator’s Shield
15th-Level Hunter Feature
When you take damage from a creature you can see, you can use your reaction to supernaturally ward yourself against that creature for a short time. You have resistance to all damage dealt by the target for 1 minute, including resistance to the damage dealt by the triggering attack. This effect ends early if you become incapacitated.
Once used, this feature can’t be used again until you finish a long rest.
