Warrior Subclass — The Rifleman
Class: Warrior
Recommended Domains: Blade (precision, lethality) & Bone (tactics, endurance)
Tone Tag: A battle-scarred marksman who treats their rifle as a limb, not a weapon. Precision, patience, and absolute focus amid chaos.
FOUNDATION FEATURE — Signature Rifle
At character creation, designate one firearm as your Signature Rifle. You treat it as a bonded weapon — only you can draw its full potential.
While wielding your Signature Rifle:
- You ignore reload time and can fire without disadvantage in Close range.
- You can use Finesse or Strength for your attack rolls.
- When you roll your Hope die higher than your Fear die on an attack, you may describe a trick shot, ricochet, or cinematic stunt — then deal an additional 1d4 damage.
You also gain a pool of Marksmanship Dice (d6s) equal to your Proficiency bonus.
When you hit with your Signature Rifle, you may spend one die to apply an effect:
- Eagle Eye Shot: Treat Range of the shot as one step closer. You must still be able to see the target.
- Suppressing Fire: Target has disadvantage on its next roll before its next turn.
- Pinning Shot: Target’s movement becomes 0 until the start of your next turn.
Marksmanship Dice refresh at the end of a rest.
