Witch Hunter

Bonus Action. Expend 1 Focus and choose one creature you can see within 60 feet. For 1 minute, you know the direction and distance to that creature as long as it is on the same plane of existence, you have Advantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Wisdom (Survival) checks made to find or track it, and once per turn when you hit it with a weapon attack you deal an extra 1d6 damage of the weapon's damage type. At Witch Hunter level 9 the extra damage becomes 2d6, and at level 17 it becomes 3d6. The brand ends early if you use this ability again, if the creature dies, or if you are Incapacitated.

Magic action. Expend 1 Focus and choose one creature you can see within 30 feet. For 1 minute, or until you use this ability again, you learn whether the creature is affected by any spell, curse, hex, or pact-bond; whether it is a shapechanger or disguised by magic; and whether it is an Aberration, Celestial, Elemental, Fey, Fiend, or Undead. For each spell affecting it, you learn its school of magic and its spell level. If the creature is affected by a curse or a pact-bond, you learn the direction and approximate distance (to the nearest mile) of the creature that placed it, provided that creature is on the same plane. The target makes no saving throw and isn't aware of your scrutiny.

Magic action. Expend 1 Focus and touch one willing creature (which can be you). Choose one curse, one hex, or one spell of 1st level or lower affecting that creature; it ends. If you touch a cursed object, the curse is suppressed for 1 hour but isn't removed. If the effect is a curse of 4th level or higher, or a curse placed by a creature of CR 10 or higher, you must succeed on a Wisdom check against the curse's save DC (DC 15 if it has none) for the effect to end. Scaling: at Witch Hunter level 9 the spell level limit increases to 3rd; at Witch Hunter level 17 it increases to 5th. You can use this ability on an unwilling creature only if it is Incapacitated or willing.

Bonus Action. Expend 1 Focus and touch one weapon you are wielding. For 1 minute, your weapon attacks with that weapon deal an extra 1d4 Radiant damage. If the target of an attack is an Aberration, Celestial, Elemental, Fey, Fiend, or Undead, or is currently affected by a spell, curse, or possession, the extra damage is 2d4 Radiant instead. At Witch Hunter level 11 these values increase to 2d4 and 3d4 respectively. The effect ends early if you use this ability again or if you drop the weapon.

Reaction, taken when you or a creature you can see within 30 feet fails a saving throw against being Charmed, Frightened, or Possessed, or against Psychic damage. Expend 1 Focus. The creature rerolls the saving throw, adding your Wisdom modifier (minimum +1) to the new roll, and must use the new result. You can use this ability after seeing the failed roll but before the GM resolves the effect.

You spend 10 minutes tracing the ward on a doorway, threshold, or a 15-foot-square area you can reach, and expend 1 Focus. The ward lasts 8 hours. Aberrations, Celestials, Elementals, Fey, Fiends, and Undead can't cross the ward's boundary unless they succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your Focus DC; a creature that succeeds can cross freely for the remaining duration. The ward also alerts you with a mental ping whenever a creature of one of those types comes within 30 feet of it. A creature currently Charmed or Possessed by one of those types must also succeed on the saving throw to cross. The ward ends early if you create another Iron Ward.

Reaction, taken when a creature you can see within 60 feet teleports, turns Invisible, or shifts to another plane of existence. Expend 1 Focus. The creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your Focus DC. On a failed save, the teleport, the invisibility, or the planar shift fails and any resource spent to produce it (spell slot, use of an ability, or similar) is still expended. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to your Pin the Shadow for 1 hour.

Reaction, taken when a creature you can see within 30 feet targets you or an ally with an attack roll or forces you or an ally to make a saving throw, and the attack or effect comes from a spell, a magical ability, or a supernatural creature. Expend 1 Focus. Choose one of the following: the attack roll is made with Disadvantage, or one target of the effect has Advantage on its saving throw against it. You must choose before the attack roll or saving throw is made.

Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend 1 Focus to deal an extra 1d8 Radiant damage. If the target is an Aberration, Celestial, Elemental, Fey, Fiend, or Undead, or is currently affected by a spell, curse, hex, or pact-bond, the extra damage is 2d8 Radiant instead. At Witch Hunter level 11 these values increase to 2d8 and 3d8; at Witch Hunter level 17 they increase to 3d8 and 4d8.

Magic action. Expend 1 Focus and touch one willing creature. End one disease or one poison affecting it, remove one level of Exhaustion, and the creature regains 1d8 + your Wisdom modifier Hit Points. A creature can benefit from Cleanse the Flesh only once per short rest. This ability has no effect on Constructs or Undead.

You spend 1 minute examining one willing creature you are touching and expend 1 Focus. You learn whether the creature is currently Charmed, Frightened, Possessed, or magically controlled, and if so, you learn the direction and distance to the creature responsible (if it is on the same plane) and that creature's type. If the controller is on another plane, you instead learn only its creature type and that it is elsewhere. The examined creature has Advantage on saving throws against that specific controlling effect for 1 hour.

Magic action. Expend 1 Focus and choose up to three creatures within 30 feet of you that can see or hear you. For 1 minute, each target has Advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effects and has Resistance to Psychic damage. This effect ends early on a target that is Incapacitated and on all targets if you are Incapacitated.

Magic action. Expend 2 Focus and choose one creature you can see within 30 feet. It must make a Charisma saving throw against your Focus DC. On a failed save, if the creature is an Aberration, Celestial, Elemental, Fey, Fiend, or Undead, it is banished to a harmless demiplane for 1 minute; it repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. A creature that isn't one of those types has Advantage on this saving throw and, on a failure, is Restrained until the end of its next turn instead of banished. When the banishing ends, the creature reappears in the space it left or in the nearest unoccupied space.

Reaction, taken when a creature you can see within 60 feet casts a spell or uses a magical ability. Expend 2 Focus. The creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your Focus DC. On a failed save, the spell or ability fails and any resource it expended (such as a spell slot or a use of a limited feature) is wasted. On a successful save, the spell or ability functions normally, but the creature takes 1d8 Psychic damage. Regardless of the outcome, that creature is immune to your Throat of Salt for 24 hours. This ability can't affect a spell or ability that has no verbal, somatic, or material component and no visible manifestation, at the GM's discretion.

Magic action. Expend 2 Focus and choose one creature you can see within 30 feet. It must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your Focus DC. On a failed save, the creature is severed for 1 minute: it can't cast spells or use abilities granted by a patron, deity, or similar external power; it loses any Resistance or Immunity granted by magic (including Magic Resistance); and it can't regain Hit Points from spells. It repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Alternatively, if the target is a willing creature suffering under a curse or a pact it wishes to escape, you can end that curse or pact permanently with no saving throw; the creature loses any benefits the pact granted. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to your Sever the Chain for 24 hours.

Magic action. Expend 2 Focus to pour a ring of salt and iron filings around yourself with a radius of 20 feet. For 10 minutes, Aberrations, Celestials, Elementals, Fey, Fiends, Undead, and any creature summoned or conjured by a spell can't cross the ring's boundary unless they succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your Focus DC; a creature that succeeds can cross for that round only and must repeat the saving throw each round it wishes to cross. Attacks, spells, and other effects pass through the ring normally. You can end the circle as a Free action. The circle ends early if you create another Circle of Salt.

Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend 1 Focus to deal an extra 2d8 Radiant damage. If the creature was created, summoned, or animated by a spell (such as a conjured elemental, a summoned fiend, an animated object, or a creature animated by a spell) and this attack reduces it to 0 Hit Points, the spell that created it ends and that creature can't be re-created or reanimated by the same spell for 24 hours.

Reaction, taken when you succeed on a saving throw against a spell or magical effect that targets you or includes you among its targets. Expend 2 Focus. The spell or effect is reflected back at its caster as if the caster had been the target, using the caster's own spell save DC or spell attack bonus. If the spell can't target the caster (for example, because it can only target a creature type the caster doesn't belong to), the spell merely ends and has no effect. You can use this ability after seeing the result of the saving throw.

Magic action. Expend 1 Focus and name one creature you can see within 60 feet. If you know that creature's true name (learned through play, at the GM's discretion, such as from the Quiet Ledger, a bound fiend, or a captured cultist's testimony), the creature must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your Focus DC or be marked for 1 minute: you have Advantage on attack rolls against it, it has Disadvantage on saving throws against your Witch Hunter techniques and features, and it can't teleport or leave the plane it is on. It repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. If you don't know the creature's true name, it has Advantage on the saving throw. A creature can be affected by your True Name Recall only once per day.

Magic action. Expend 3 Focus. Each Aberration, Celestial, Elemental, Fey, Fiend, and Undead within 30 feet of you must make a Charisma saving throw against your Focus DC. On a failed save, a target takes 6d8 Radiant damage and has the Frightened condition until the end of your next turn. On a successful save, it takes half damage and isn't Frightened. Creatures that aren't one of the listed types are unaffected by this ability.

Reaction, taken when a creature you can see within 30 feet drops to 0 Hit Points or dies. Expend 2 Focus. Until you finish a long rest, the creature's body and soul are warded: it can't be raised as Undead or otherwise animated, it can't be contacted, trapped, transported, or consumed by magical means, and any creature attempting to claim, devour, or bargain for its soul must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your Focus DC or the attempt fails. The creature can still be restored to life by ordinary means, such as a Raise Dead or Resurrection spell.

Magic action. Expend 3 Focus and choose up to three creatures you can see within 60 feet. Each target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your Focus DC. On a failed save, for 10 minutes the target is severed: every spell of 6th level or lower currently affecting it ends, it can't cast spells or use magical abilities, it loses any Resistance or Immunity granted by magic, and if it is a Fiend, Celestial, Fey, or Undead it also takes 6d8 Radiant damage. A severed creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success. Once you use Grand Severance, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

You spend 10 minutes walking the boundary of an area up to 60 feet in radius and expend 3 Focus. For 8 hours, the area is consecrated. Fiends, Undead, Aberrations, and creatures summoned or conjured by a spell can't enter the area unless they succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your Focus DC; a creature that succeeds can remain for 1 minute before it must repeat the saving throw. Any creature inside the area has Advantage on saving throws against curses, possession, and magical mind control. Spells cast inside the area can't create, summon, or animate Fiends, Undead, or Aberrations. You can end the consecration as a Free action, and it ends early if you create another Sanctified Ground.

Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend 2 Focus. The attack deals an extra 4d8 Radiant damage, and the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your Focus DC or have the Stunned condition until the end of its next turn. A creature that succeeds on this saving throw is immune to your Verdict of Iron for 24 hours.
