based on the Demon Hunter hero class of the Warcraft Universe

attered and scarred, barely standing on her two
legs, a drained drow wielding two blades
emanating a sickly green energy backs up to a
cliff face, surrounded by a gnoll pack. Gathering
the rest of her strength, she throws back her
arms and explodes in a dark wave, engulfing the
first row of the furred raiders; those left
unharmed are stunned with fear as they see a hellish entity
standing before them in her place, its dark wings seeming to
block out the sun as she swoops down upon them, her blades
carving throw them like butter.
A toned human covered in ritualistic markings faces down
a large orc in a duel, the first few minutes spent in a
methodical, coreographed dance of death. Finding an
opening, the orc brings down his massive battleaxe in an
attempt to decapitate his enemy; his confidence soon wavers,
however, as just as the blade of his weapon is about to make
contact with flesh, the human shimmers and disappears.
Without warning, the orc feels a massive force impact him
from behind as the human, now warped into a huge
monstrosity of muscle, armored plating, and spikes, tackles
the orc and begins to pummel the hapless opponent into the
dusty earth.
Reviled by many for their willing embrace of hellish
powers, the cunning demon hunters have been the hidden
heroes for many centuries, operating in the shadows to
protect the Material Plane and other realms from the
demonic forces of the Abyss and other fiendish threats. Once
obedient servants to the Nine Hells, these skilled killers soon
begun to harbor a hatred towards all evil creatures, both
magical and mundane, seeing anything of the sort as a threat
to those that they love. While some can still be found under
the service of a devil as a warlock would, even these
individuals have a higher degree of independence, with the
only duty towards their "masters" being the prevention of
threats to the security of the Nine Hells; for the most part,
demon hunter will be on their own for most of their lives after
having been trained, rarely teeming up with non-demon
hunters as they are difficult to entrust a mission outside of
their own kind.
Ten Thousand Years in the Making
The first demon hunter was formed from a wood elf
hundreds of years ago by the name of Illidan Stormrage.
When a group of demons, lead by the Demon Prince
Demogorgon, were summoned under the cover of night by a
group of crazed cultists lusting for power, Illidan's home and
surrounding villages were razed before the sun had risen the
following morning. The fortunate elf was the only one within
miles to survive; having lost many a loved one so quickly, in
his heart burned a hunger for vengeance. Calling out to the
darkness, he pledged his undying servitude to whoever would
deem him worthy enough of their power.
The one to respond was none other than Asmodeus, the
Lord of Nessus and Ruler of the Nine Hells. Seeing the
appearance of Demogorgon on the Material Plane as a threat
to Baator, the archdevil provided Illidan with a deal: be
infused with the essence of the Nine Hells and declare fealty
to the Lord of the Ninth, and the elf would have the power for
vengeance. Eager, Illidan accepted without a second thought,
and for the next several months begun hunting demon after
demon, occasionally consuming some to increase his own
power. Soon he was strong enough to take on Demogorgon,
keeping the Prince of Demons occupied long enough for a
group of adventurers to open a portal to the Gaping Maw,
successfully imprisoning the demon prince within it.
However, Illidan was not completely satisfied. Having gazed
into the heart of Asmodeus and realizing the evil within it, the
demon hunter went rogue, hiding himself from the gaze of
the archdevil. He went on to start a crusade against all
/
fiendish creatures, attacking demon, devil, and yugoloth alike,
treating all of these as threats to the rest of the Material
Plane; even as his own kind turned their backs on him, he
continues to fight for them, wishing for nothing more than
the security of their protection.
Lead by the Elves
Regardless of race and origins, all demon hunters look up to
Illidan as their leader. The first demon hunter has become a
demigod of sorts, immortal and almost worshipped by all of
those who follow him. Having transcended his original form,
Stormrage has become more fiend than elf, and yet has
become something more - a symbol of resistance and
sacrifice.
While multiple races from all walks of life have been
known to take up the path of the demon hunter, the vast
majority of the mysterious group of trained killers are
composed of elves. The purity of the elves and their societies
have made them extensive targets for demonic invasions, and
causing much fear and hatred to become harbored within the
elegant race. As such, elves that become demon hunters are
some of the most terrifying to face on the battlefield, as they
show an unending resolve that has allowed for single fighters
to take on hundreds of the tanar'ri threats.
Masters of the Warglaives
One of the most common identifiers of a demon hunter can
be seen distances away - great warglaives, weapons unique to
the demon hunters. Based off of an elvish weapon, the
moonglaive, the warglaive is a found in the possession of the
majority of demon hunters; allowing for quick attacks, the
double-sided blades can also be thrown through the air
almost like a boomerang, returning to their thrower's hand
without any effort.
Warglaive Statistics
Uncommon simple weapon, requires attunement
Cost: 10 gp
Weight: 2 lb.
Damage: 1d6 slashing damage
Properties: finesse, light, special, thrown (20/60)
A warglaive is an enchanted one-handed weapon with two
curved blades attached to a central handle.
Special Trait. When a warglaive is thrown, whether it hits
its target or not, it will travel back to the one that threw it. You
can catch the warglaive by making a successful DC 13
Dexterity check. On a failed check, the warglaive flies past
you, traveling a distance equal to 5 x your Strength modifier.
If the warglaive strikes a hard surface (e.g. stone, wood) on
its return, it will become lodged into the surface and stops
moving. It can be removed with a successful DC 15 Strength
check.
Creating a Demon Hunter
When creating your demon hunter, you must first ask yourself
the reason as to their pursuit of such a dark career. Perhaps
you have a personal vendetta against a named demon which
killed several people close to you. Or maybe after a vampire
ravaged your hometown, you sought out for its lair in order to
slay it and prevent its reign of terror. No matter the cause, a
demon hunter is typically formed from a prior tragedy that
would encourage the hunter to a life devoted to the protection
of others from supernatural entities.
Another question you must pose is the means by which
your demon hunter acquired their new set of abilities. Were
you approached by a malebranche in a dark alley, given the
promises of vengeance in return for a few quick "errands" to
the devil's enemies? Did you find several dark tomes after
perusing the darker section of a grand library, pouring your
time into the twisted pages and slowly gleaning the means to
hunt your prey.
Quick Build
You can make a demon hunter quickly by following these
suggestions. First, your highest ability score should be
Dexterity, followed by Charisma or Strength if you plan on
taking the Path of Havoc or Path of Vengeance, respectively.
Second, choose from the blade ward, eldritch blast, or true
strike cantrips.
Multiclassing
If you wish to multiclass into a demon hunter, you must have
the following prerequisite: Dexterity 13, and you must have
successfully absorb the heart of a fiend-type creature (see

Bound to the Nine Hells
Every now and then, demon hunters are able to stave off the
hand of death and spirit away their souls to the depths of
Baator. If you fall to 0 hit points, you can make a Constitution
saving throw equal to 1 + amount of excessive damage; for
example, if you fell to 0 hit points and then took an additional
10 damage, the DC would be 11. On a successful save, your
body disappears for one minute. Once a minute has passed,
you appear within 15 feet of where your body once was, you
are conscious, and you are given 2d4 temporary hit points.
If you fail your Constitution saving throw the first time, you
must make an additional Constitution saving throw as
normal for death save. On your subsequent death saving
throws, you can attempt to make the Constitution save for
this ability again, until it's either successfully used, you're
stabilized, or you die.
Once you successfully use this ability, you cannot do so
again until you take a long rest. The amount of temporary
healing done increases at higher levels, granting you more
temporary hit points at 7th (4d4), 13th (6d4), and 19th (8d4)
level.
Infernal Inheritance
Also at 1st level, you have been bestowed basic devil-like
features to improve your hunting abilities:
First, you have two horns sprouting from your forehead;
these horns take any shape, and can be used as an alternative
form of unarmed strike. The damage dealt is bludgeoning if
the horns are more curved like a ram's or gazelle's, or
piercing damage if they are more straight like a goat's or a
bull's. Additionally, your body is covered in swirling tattoos,
and your blood has become a luminescent green.
Secondly, your eyes have been removed and replaced with
two burning orbs that are able to give sight beyond sight. You
have darkvision of 60 feet; if your race has darkvision, it
becomes 60 feet instead. Additionally, if you are touching or
holding an object or creature, you are able to observe it as if
with truesight. Many demon hunters decide to place a
blindfold or some other covering over their sockets to prevent
completely unsettling others; doing so does not affect their
vision.
Finally, you are able to learn one cantrip from the warlock's
spell list. You are able to learn additional cantrips at higher
levels, learning one more cantrip at 3rd (2), 8th (3), 13th (4),
and 19th (5) level. Charisma is your spellcasting ability for
these cantrips.
Metamorphosis
Starting at 2nd level, you're able to temporarily transform into
a fiendish creature to decimate those around you. While you

/
are transformed, your Strength
and Dexterity scores increase by 3,
your unarmed strikes deal 1d8
bludgeoning damage, your size category
becomes Large, and you have advantage
on Charisma (Intimidation) checks. This
form lasts for one minute or until you end it.
This ability has an amount of charges per
long rest, dependent on your demon hunter level.
Hunter Path
When you reach 3rd level, you're able to choose a specific set
of methods for attacking enemies, called a path. You choose
between taking the Path of Havoc or taking the Path of
Vengeance. The path you choose grants you features at 3rd
level, and again at 7th, 12th, 17th, and 20th level.
Abiliity Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice
by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by
1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20
using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack two times, instead of
once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
The number of attacks increases to 3 when you reach 13th
level in this class.
Chaos Strike
At 6th level, whenever you make an attack with a weapon you
are proficient in, you can have the weapon blaze to life with a
green until the end of your next turn. A creature that is struck
with the weapon while it is ablaze must make a Dexterity
saving throw. A creature takes 1d6 fire damage and 1d6 force
damage on a failed save, or half as much on a success. If you
make a critical hit while this ability is active, you are healed
for half of the damage dealt.
You can do this a number of times per long rest equal to
your Charisma modifier (minimum once). The damage dealt
increases by 1d6 each at 14th (2d6/2d6) level.
Ethereal Strikes
When you reach 7th level, you have learned enough in the
magic of teleportation to weave it into your combat. You can
cast the spells blink and blur each per long rest.
Eye Beams
Starting at 9th level, you're capable of turning the burning
orbs that form your eyes into weapons. As a bonus action, you
can make a ranged spell attack on a creature within 30 feet.
On a hit, you deal 1d10 + your Charisma modifier in fire
damage. This ability has a recharge of one minute.
Ruthless Tracker
At 10th level, your reflexes quicken and your movement
becomes unhindered. Your base walking speed increases by 5
feet, and you are able
to move over difficult terrain without
needing to make any checks. Additionally,
whenever make a high jump, you do not need to make a
running start, and you're able to add your Dexterity modifier
to how high you can jump (minimum +1).
Wings of Zariel
Beginning at 14th level, you've tapped into the power of
Avernus' ruler, Zariel. As a bonus action, you can make a
flaming dash in a 40-foot line. Any creature caught in the line
must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking 6d4 fire damage
on a failed save or half as much on a success.
Additionally, any fall damage you take at any time is
reduced by half.
Mephistopheles' Fury
When you reach 17th level, you can briefly unleash the power
of the archdevil Mephistopheles in a chaotic blast. All
creatures within 30 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving
throw, taking 1d12 force damage on a failed save or half as
much on a success.
You're able to use this ability once per long rest.
Hunter Paths
The hunter path that you choose determines the type of
hunting style that you adopt when it comes to tracking down
your targets. This is divided into the Path of Havoc, and the
Path of Vengeance.
Path of Havoc
Demon hunters that take the Path of Havoc typically make
quick, geurilla warfare-like attacks, causing disruption in
opposing forces and taking on multiple enemies at once.
When they enter their Metamorphosis Form, it becomes
reminescent of a horned devil, but with shadowy, torn wings
and great tail-less, goat-like legs.
Attunement to Dis
Beginning when you choose this path at 3rd level, whenever
you are in your Metamorphosis form, your Dexterity and
Charisma scores gain an additiona +2 bonus, and you have a
/
flying speed of 35 feet. If you normally have a flying speed,
you gain an additional 20 feet.
Quick Attack
Also at 3rd level, you can use your reaction when attacked by
an enemy to avoid the hit and strike multiple targets. When a
creature makes a melee weapon attack against you, you use
your reaction to make a Dexterity check against the attacking
creature's Dexterity score. On a successful check, you don't
take any damage during the attack, and can make a single
weapon attack on up to three creatures within 15 feet of you.
Once you use this ability, you cannot do so again until you
take a short or long rest.
Magic Absorption
At 7th level, whenever you are targeted by a spell, you can
make a Wisdom saving throw equal to 15 + the spell's level -
your proficiency bonus. On a successful save, you absorb the
spell and are healed for an amount of hit points equal to your
demon hunter level + the spell's level.
You're able to use this ability an amount of times equal to
your Charisma modifier.
Chaos Beam
When you reach 12th level, when you are in your
Metomorphosis form, the damage dealt by your Eye Beams
attack increases by 1d10.
Improved Spellcasting
Starting at 15th level, you're able to innately cast the spells
counterspell and darkness. Charisma is your spellcasting
ability for these spells.
Additionally, you're able to cast eldritch blast both as an
action and as a bonus action on the same turn. You're able to
do this once per short or long rest.
Aura of the Nine Hells
At 20th level, you cast a permanent aura that is connected to
the very depths of Baator. Whenever a creature enters within
10 feet of the demon hunter, it must make a Constitution
saving thow, being unaffected on a successful save. On a
failed save, the creature takes 2d8 fire damage and must
make an additional Wisdom saving throw against the demon
hunter's Charisma score. On a failed save, the creature is
frightened by the demon hunter for one minute.
Path of Vengeance
Demon hunters that take the Path of Vengeance have more
chaotic fighting styles, throwing themselves recklessly into
the fray and breaking up enemy forces; they are capable of
placing terrible curses upon a creature, and when they enter
their Metamorphosis form, they become a hulking
monstrosity covered in spines and armored plating.
Attunement to Minauros
Beginning when you choose this path at 3rd level, whenever
you enter your Metamorphosis form, your Strength and
Constitution scores gain an additional +2 bonus.
Additionally, when you initially enter your Metamorphosis
form, you gain an additional 1d12 temporary hit points. The
amount of temporary hit points increases at higher levels,
adding an extral d12 at 8th (2d12) and 17th (3d12) level.
Hardened Flesh
Also at 3rd level, your hit dice becomes d12 whenever you
gain another demon hunter level starting at 3rd.
Sigils of Baator
At 7th level, you're able to spend a minute placing on a
surface an invisible sigil that can only be seen by a creature
with truesight. If a creature comes within 10 feet of the sigil,
all creatures within 20 feet of the sigil must make a DC 17
saving throw; you're able to designate creatures that remain
unaffected by the sigil. If a creature fails its saving throw, it is
suffers from an effect that is designated by the chosen sigil:
Sigil of Chains. The creature becomes restrained for one
minute. It can make a DC 19 Strength check at the
beginning of each of its turns in an attempt to break free of
its magical binding, or through the use of the spell dispel
magic.
Sigil of the Flame. The creature takes fire damage equal to
the demon hunter's level.
Sigil of the Mage. The creature is affected by a random
effect from the Wild Magic table.
Sigil of Silence. The creature is unable to speak or make a
verbal sound and is unable to make a verbal sound.
Sigil of the Storm. The creature takes lightning damage
equal to half the demon hunter's level (rounded up), and is
stunned until the end of its next turn.
Sigil of Thunder. The creature is deafened for one minute as
a loud thunderstrike rings out. All objects made of glass or
ceramic within the affected area that are not being worn or
carried are shattered.
You're able to use this ability an amount of times equal to
your Charisma modifier (minimum once).
Destruction Beam
When you reach 12th level, when you are in your
Metomorphosis form, the damage dealt by your Eye Beams
attack deals force damage instead of fire damage.
Additionally, whenever you target a Medium or larger
structure, you blast a Small hole into it. If you target a Small
or Tiny object made of glass, wood, or stone, it shatters
immediately.
Demonic Spikes
Starting at 15th level, you gain a +4 bonus to your unarmored
AC. Additionally, whenever a creature makes a melee attack
against you while you are within your Metamorphosis form,
they must make a DC 17 Dexterity saving throw or take
piercing damage equal to half of your demon hunter level
(rounded up).
Seismic Slam
At 20th level, while your Metamorphosis form is active, you
can use your bonus action to launch into the air and slam
down into the ground at a point within 20 feet. All creatures
within 15 feet of the impact must make a Dexterity saving
throw, with disadvantage if they are within 5 feet of you. A
creature takes 2d12 bludgeoning damage plus 2d4 thunder
damage and are knocked prone on a failed save, or take half
damage and is pushed backwards up to 10 feet on a success.
This ability has a recharge of 6; after using this ability, you
have disadvantage on Dexterity checks until the start of your
next turn.

Hunting
Your Quarry
D
espite the name of their profession, demon
hunters do not exclusively hunt demons; they
have a distaste for all fiendish kind - including
their progenitors, the devils of the Nine Hells -
as well as any destructive, magical creature that
would dare to threaten the safety of their homes
and loved ones. Occasionally, the hunters will
take trophies from their hunts: the skin of a quasit turned into
the leather wrappings of a sword handle; a horn from a
hamatula fashioned into the pointed blade of a stilleto
dagger; the shriveled paw of a dretch hung from one's neck as
a dark talisman; or the leathery wings of a cornugon sewed
together to form a toughened cloak.
However, the most treasured trophies from their kills come
from within the fiends they hunt: their hearts. If a strong
enough demon hunter were to eat the heart of a slain devil or
demon, they would be able to inherit a small portion of that
creature's power. However, doing so would more often would
increase the risk of the strength of such corrupting energies,
risking the individual to become consumed by the forces it
has claimed; as such, the oldest and strongest of demon
hunters would be able to rival most of the baatezu that
populate the realm of Baator, and were considered enough of
a threat as to attract the attention of the archdukes and
archduchesses of the Nine Hells.
Increasing Your Aresnal
Among your journies, you may come across an infernal
creature that possesses foul energies and magics. Should you
ever find yourself capable enough to slay such a foe, you may
have the chance to absorb its own soul into your own; by
completely consuming
the creature's heart, your inner
demons shall become far more empowered
than before.
If you successfully kill a fiend-type creature, you may spend
a minute successfully carving out its heart. If you wish to eat
the heart, you must successfully perform a Constitution
check that is equal to 20 - your demon hunter level as the vile
flesh courses down your throat, wrenching your stomach. On
a failed check, you take 2d4 poison damage and vomit up the
heart. On a success, you must make an additional Wisdom
saving throw to prevent the soul of the monster from claiming
you as its own; such a check is equal to 15 - your demon
hunter level + the monster's challenge rating. On a success,
you inherit one trait located in the Fiendish Absorption list.
On a failed save, you lose control of your demon hunter for 1
minute as it goes on a hellish rampage. At the end of this
rampage, a d100 is rolled; on a or 100, the demon hunter is
transformed into a random fiendish creature; the creature is
a demon, devil, or yugoloth depending on the heart from the
original creature.
Some fiends might have multiple traits or may share a trait
with other fiends. If you eat successfully eat and absorb the
heart of a fiend that has multiple traits more than once, you
can gradually adopt all of the traits; if you eat the heart of a
fiend that shares the same trait with another fiend, you
cannot adopt that same trait a second time.
/
