Starting when you choose this path at 3rd Level, you gain the ability to convert your Hit Dice into special Reaver Dice. When you enter a Rage on your turn, you can convert a number of your Hit Dice up to your Constitution Modifier (Minimum of 1) into Reaver Dice. The die size is the same as the Hit Dice you converted. Reaver Dice are used to power your Reaver abilities.

While you are raging, you gain the following abilities:

  • When you hit an enemy with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one Reaver Dice and roll it. You deal additional Necrotic Damage to both the target and yourself equal to the result. You cannot reduce the damage you take from this by any means.

The maximum number of Reaver Dice you can roll per attack increases by one at Level 6 and 14.

  • When you hit an enemy with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one Reaver Dice to frighten the target. The target must make a Wisdom Saving Throw (DC = 8 + Your Proficiency Modifier + Your Strength Modifier) or else become Frightened of you for the next minute. The target can make another Saving Throw at the end of each of their turns to end the effect. This effect also ends if you become Unconscious or the target is unable to see you. If the target fails the saving throw by 5 or more, they become Paralyzed as well.

At 10th Level, you can roll your Reaver Die and add half of the result (Rounded Down, minimum of 0) to the Saving Throw DC.

You cannot use both abilities on the same attack.

At 3rd Level, The Hunt has sharpened you sense of smell, making it more difficult for wounded creatures to hide from you.
While you are raging, as a bonus action you can expend a Reaver Die and attempt to locate any creature whose Hit Points are below its Maximum Hit Points within 30 feet. You make a Survival Check contested against any Creature's Stealth Check within 30 feet of you. You roll the Reaver Die and add the result to your Survival Check. If you succeed, you know the location of the creature as long as it is within 30 feet of you. This allows you to ignore Disadvantage on Attack Rolls that is imposed by not being able to see the target, such as Blindness or Invisibility, but enemy's that have Advantage on Attack Rolls from being hidden or an Unseen Attacker still have Advantage.

When you reach 10th Level, the range extends to 60 feet.

This ability does not work against Constructs and Undead.

At 6th level, The Hunt allows you to feast on the last dredges of life force when you kill a creature.
While you are raging and kill a hostile creature, you can roll one Reaver die without expending it and gain Hit Points equal to twice the number rolled plus your Constitution Modifier.

This ability does not work against Constructs and Undead.

At 10th Level, your sense of smell can find the smallest of creatures with the tinest of cuts.

You automatically know the location of any creatures within 15 feet who have less Hit Points than their maximum.

In addition, the range of your Sharp Smell Feature is extended to 60 feet.

This feature does not work on Constructs and Undead.

When you enter a rage, if you have no Reaver Dice, you gain a d12 Reaver Dice in addition to those you would normally gain by expending Hit Dice.

At Level 14 while you are raging, as an action you can expend any number of Reaver Dice. You can move up to half of your movement speed towards another creature, without provoking attacks of opportunity, and make a melee weapon attack against that creature. If the attack hits, you deal the normal effects and you roll all Reaver Dice expended this way and deal additional necrotic damage equal to the result. You can then repeat this effect for each expended Reaver Dice with the following conditions:

  • You cannot target the same creature with this feature more than once each use.
  • For each creature after the first, decrease the amount of Reaver Dice you roll for Necrotic Damage by 1. If you expended Reaver Dice of different sizes, you remove the largest size first.

If you kill a creature with this feature, you gain Hit Points equal to the Necrotic Damage you dealt to the killed creature.

At the end of your turn, you roll the amount of expended Reaver Dice, less the amount of creatures you attacked with this feature, and take Necrotic Damage equal to the result. This damage cannot be reduced in any way.

Ex. If you expend 4d12 Reaver Dice, you can attack up to 4 creatures as long as they are within half of your movement speed of each other. The first creature takes the full 4d12 Necrotic Damage. The second takes 3d12. The third takes 2d12 and so on. If you attack 3 creatures, at the end of your turn you take (4-3)d12 Necrotic Damage.
