Legendary Classes

Welcome to Legendary Classes! The next major update for Legendary Player Characters, a supplement for Dungeons and Dragons 5th Edition that intends to give rules for buffing up players so one on one games (1 DM and 1 Player) is much more possible!

Now of course, let me start by saying the obvious: This class breaks all typical 5e balancing conventions, it should not be used in regular play, nor should it be compared to regular 5e classes.

Legendary classes are meant to make a single player worth the equivalent of 3 players (Without just tripling damage output and HP) So it's going to be significantly more powerful than the regular version of the class.

Why?

Why would you use this? Why would you play D&D with two people when it's meant for a larger group? There's a myriad of reasons really, but below are a few good ones.

• It's easier to schedule and prepare for, instead of having to manage the schedules of six different people, you've reduced that total to two, making it much easier to arrange sessions for D&D.

• This helps with protagonist syndrome... In a normal campaign, no one player should outshine the others, and you'll often hear horror stories of players who try to take the spotlight... In solo games with one player and one DM, that is not a problem! The singular player can shine as bright as they want without worry of making other players feel useless.

• It can simply be a lot of fun. I've played solo games a lot with my partner, and before I began making Legendary Player Characters, it was... Really difficult to actually run encounters and make characters without things feeling really bad, because D&D isn't made for solo play.

Of course as mentioned, there's far more reasons than just those three. If you don't think you'd like this, then that's perfectly fine! Solo play isn't for everyone. I personally prefer it and that's just how I play the game, everyone plays in their own way.

For anyone else who prefers solo style or is interested in giving it a try, then this class and the full Legendary Player Characters document are right up your alley!

Legendary Player Characters

As mentioned to the left of this text, this is meant as a supplement for the Legendary Player Characters document. You can find the links to the full 127 page document below!

Google Drive

Homebrewery

It is not mentioned in the class specifically, but this class does still use Legendary Actions. Nothing has been changed about the Legendary Action rules from the LPC document, and the legendary actions you can choose for this class can be found at the end of this document!

Encounters

When calculating encounters for a player with this class, consider them to be equivalent to three characters of the same level.

I recommend using milestone leveling with this system, however if you do not and want to use XP, then you should reward a third of the xp they would normally gain (So they don't level rapidly)

If the PC is using Auric Emotions or Signs of Labors in tandem with this class, treat them as three and a half characters. If they are using both in tandem with this class, treat them as four characters.

Leveling

Legendary Classes are special, even aside from their increased power. Their maximum level has been increased from 20 to 30, and not only that-but every legendary class will have rules for leveling beyond 30. To an infinite amount.

Again I strongly recommend using milestone leveling, as I do not have a good experience total required for levels beyond 20 (Especially once you begin going into 31+)

You can find what features the Legendary class gains for every level beyond 30 on the same page that their legendary actions are listed.

Multiclassing

Assume the following for multiclassing:

• You may multiclass as normal up to level 30.

• Once you hit level 31, you begin receiving the Leveling Beyond 30 features for your particular class. You do not receive any features they would receive at an earlier level.

• For example, a level 10 Legendary Rogue and level 20 Legendary Sorcerer wouldn't receive Legendary Sorcerer's 21-30 features when they begin leveling beyond 30, nor would they receive Legendary Rogue's 11-30 features.

Ranger Ability Score

Upon gaining this class, you must select your Ranger Ability Score. This score can be either Intelligence or Wisdom.

Ranger Modifier

If something refers to your Ranger Modifier, then that means it is referring to the modifier of your Ranger Ability Score.

For example if your Ranger Ability Score was Wisdom and your Wisdom score was 17, your Ranger Modifier would be +3.

Class Features

Your Class gains the following features

Hit Points

---

• Hit Dice: 2d10
• Hit Points at 1st Level: 20 + two times your Constitution modifier
• Hit Points at Higher Levels: 2d10 (11) + two times your Constitution modifier per Ranger level after 1st.

Proficiencies

---

• Armor: Light Armor, Medium Armor, Shields
• Weapons: Simple Weapons, Martial Weapons
• Tools: None

---

• Saving Throws: Strength/Intelligence (Choose 1), Dexterity/Wisdom (Choose 1)
• Skills: Choose 3 from Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Athletics, Insight, Investigation, Nature, Perception, Stealth and Survival

Mark Prey

When you choose this class at 1st level, you have learned how to mark creatures as your prey. As a bonus action, you may mark a creature you can see as your Prey. A creature remains your prey until you mark another creature or until the marked creature dies.

You gain the following benefits against your prey:

• Whenever you hit your prey with a weapon attack, your attack deals 1d4 additional damage, this damage is the same as the weapons damage type.

• Whenever you make a Perception or Survival check to locate or track your prey, you may roll 1d4 and add it to the checks result.

• You cannot be surprised by your prey.

You may mark a creature as your prey a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, you regain all expended uses upon completing a long rest. If you have no uses remaining, you may expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to use this feature anyway.

At certain levels, the die rolled for determining your damage bonus and skill check bonuses against your prey increases.

At 5th level it increases to 1d6.

At 11th level it increases to 1d8.

At 17th level it increases to 1d10.

At 23rd level it increases to 1d12.

At 29th level it increases to 2d6.

Equipment

You start with the following equipment, in addition to the equipment granted by your background:

• (a) Scale Male or (b) Leather Armor
• (a) A Simple/Martial weapon and a shield or (b) 2 Simple/Martial weapons
• (a) A light crossbow and 20 bolts or (b) 2 Simple weapons with the light property
• (a) A dungeoneer's pack or (b) An explorer's pack

Primal Retrofit

Also at 1st level, you have discovered how to make use of your slain foes. Over the course of a short rest, you may apply a Primal Retrofit to a weapon, suit of armor or shield within your reach throughout the rest. The primal retrofits you can apply are described later in this document.

An item can only have one primal retrofit, however there is no limit to the number of items you can apply your retrofits to (You could have twenty different swords all with the same retrofit if you so wished) No creature other than yourself can beneft from an items primal retrofits, for any other creature, the item is considered as if it didn't have any retrofits.

However, in order to apply a retrofit, you must meet its Harvest requirements. In order to meet its harvest requirements, you must have killed the appropriate creature and spent at least a minute harvesting the necessary parts from it. You cannot harvest from a creature you did not personally kill.

For example, Monster Teeth Lining requires harvesting it from a Monstrosity of CR 1 or higher. If you killed a valid monstrosity, you could then spend a minute harvesting its teeth to later retrofit onto a weapon when you take a short rest.

A single creature is only good for one primal retrofit (Using the previous example, you could only retrofit one weapon using the slain monster. If you wish to retrofit another weapon, you need to kill a new monster)

Over the course of a short rest, you may remove a retrofit you put on an item off of said item. You may then reuse the materials and apply them to a new item as apart of a future short rest if you so wish.

Semi Proficiencies

Finally at 1st level, you choose a number of skills equal to the amount you normally get upon choosing your starting class (3 as a Ranger) you gain semi proficiency in these skills. Meaning you add half of your proficiency bonus (Rounded down) to checks made with them.

Additionally, choose one saving throw you lack proficiency in. You gain the same bonus to rolls made for that particular saving throw.

If you ever gain proficiency in a skill or saving throw you had semi-proficiency in, you may move your semi-proficiency to a new one of the same type.

You only gain this feature if Ranger is the first class you choose. You can not have two instances of this feature from separate classes.

Prized Trophies

Beginning at 2nd level, you have realized that monsters have valuable parts beyond what you can retrofit. Over the course of 10 minutes, you may fashion a Prized Trophy out of the corpse of a creature you personally killed.

The list of trophies you can fashion can be found later in this document, much like primal retrofits, you must fashion specific trophies out of specific monsters. There is no limit to the number of trophies you can have made.

Despite you having made these trophies however, you can't benefit from all of them at the same time. Similar to attuning to magic items, you must attune to your trophies in order to benefit from them... This special attunement does not use your normal attunement slots however, it instead uses your Trophy Slots.

You start with 2 trophy slots, and you gain more as you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Trophy Slots column of the Ranger class table.

At the end of a long rest, you may target any of your trophies within 30-feet of you and link yourself to them, causing that trophy to take up one of your trophy slots. You cannot link to more trophies than you have trophy slots. While linked, you can use the trophies powers as described in its section.

This link lasts until you complete a long rest, upon which you may choose to relink to a trophy, or link to a new one.

Other creatures cannot link to or benefit from your trophies in any way. In a similar sense, you cannot use another rangers trophies.

Spellcasting

Additionally at 2nd level, you have learned to draw on natural energies to wield nature magic just as a druid does.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Ranger table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your ranger spells. To cast one of your ranger spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of range spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the ranger spell list. When you do so, choose a number of ranger spells equal to your Ranger modifier + half your ranger level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level ranger, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With a Wisdom of 14 (And that being your Ranger ability score) Your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd-level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell cure wounds, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of ranger spells requires time spent calling upon nature: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Your spellcasting ability is the same as your Ranger Ability Score.

---

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Ranger modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus +
your Ranger modifier

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a druidic focus as a spellcasting focus for your ranger spells.

Ranger Conclave

Upon reaching 3rd level, you have sworn yourself to a conclave that emulates your style, the options for which are listed later in the document. Your choice grants you features now and again at levels 6, 10, 14, 18 and 26.

Hunters Way

Additionally at 3rd level, you have begun to adapt the ways of a true hunter. You may choose a Combat Trait from the options listed later in this document. Some features have a level prerequisite, in order to choose that feature, you must have at least that many levels in the Ranger class.

Upon reaching the following levels in this class, you may select an additional Combat Trait that you meet the prerequisites for: 9th level, 15th level, 21st level and 27th level.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, 20th, 24th and 28th 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. Alternatively, you can choose a feat.

When you reach 7th level and again at levels 15 and 23, you gain a Legendary Ability Score Improvement. You may either gain the benefits of a regular ASI as per the rules up above, or you may take a Legendary Feat, which are listed in the Legendary Player Characters document.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

When you reach certain levels in this class, the number of attacks you can make as part of your Attack action increases; at 17th level (3 attacks) and at 29th level (4 attacks)

Mass Hunt

Upon reaching 11th level, you are no longer limited to hunting merely one creature at a time. You may now have up to two creatures marked at a time as your prey, gaining the benefits of your Mark Prey feature against both of them.

When you use Mark Prey to mark a creature, you can mark two using a single usage, instead of just one. If using this feature would cause you to have more than two creatures marked as your prey, you choose which creatures are no longer your prey.

Beginning at 23rd level, you may now have up to three creatures marked at a time as your prey. When you use Mark Prey to mark a creature, you can mark three using a single usage, instead of just two. If using this feature would cause you to have more than three creatures marked as your prey, you choose which creatures are no longer your prey.

Decorated Equipment

Beginning at 13th level, your equipment is adorned with more of your conquests. You may now apply up to two Primal Retrofits to a single piece of equipment. You may apply the same retrofit twice to a single piece of equipment, but they must have come from different creatures.

At 25th level, you may now apply up to three Primal Retrofits to a single piece of equipment. You may apply the same retrofit thrice to a single piece of equipment, but they must have come from different creatures.

Feral Senses

Once you reach 19th level, your senses have honed to be like that of a monsters. You are aware of the exact location of invisible creatures within 30-feet of you provided you aren't blinded or deafened. When you attack a creature, your inability to see it does not impose disadvantage on your attack roll.

Finally, you cannot have disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures marked as your prey. Disadvantage will still cancel out any advantage you had however.

Predators Mark

Beginning at 22nd level, your prey are never safe from you. You may now use Mark Prey as many times as you wish between rests.

Apex Predator

Finally at 30th level, you are at the top of the food chain. You gain the following benefits:

• Against creatures marked as your prey, you may add your Ranger modifier (Minimum of 1) to your weapons attack and damage rolls.

• You gain a +1 bonus to all ability checks for each one of your trophies you are linked to.

• When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you may end your link to one of your trophies to deal maximum damage to that creature instead of rolling.

Beast Master Conclave

Sometimes, it's not the best move to fight alone. Rangers of this conclave have formed an unbreakable bond with a mighty bestial spirit, this bond goes just beyond mere friendship. The ranger and beast are connected on a spiritual level.

Primal Companion

Beginning at 3rd level, you have forged a bond with a beast of the wild. At the end of a long rest, you may call forth a Beast of the Land, Beast of the Sea, or Beast of the Sky (The statblocks for which can be found on the page after this one) You determine what kind of animal it is based on its statblock.

The beast uses your proficiency bonus. In combat, the beast acts on your turn and obeys all of your spoken orders. If given no orders, it prioritizes defending you over itself. The beast has its own action which it can use to take the attack, dash, disengage, dodge or help action. It also can move and use its reaction as if it were a separate creature from you.

If the beast has died within the past hour, you can touch it and expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher to cause it to revive after a number of minutes equal to 10 - the spell slots level (Minimum of 1 minute)

When you finish a long rest, your beast automatically returns to life if it was dead. If you choose to summon a new beast, your previous one vanishes.

Beast Keeper

Additionally at 3rd level, you are well versed in the tongue of beasts. You gain proficiency in the Animal Handling skill, if you already have this proficiency you instead gain expertise.

Additionally, you can commune with beasts as if you shared a language. You decide what form this communication takes, whether it be body movement, spoken language, or something else.

Magically Enhanced

At 6th level, your beast has begun to absorb some of your primal magics. Whenever you cast a spell that targets only yourself (Such as Cure Wounds or Longstrider) you may also grant your beast hte benefits of that spell.

If the spell requires concentration, you both lose its benefits once you lose concentration.

Additionally, your beasts attacks now count as magical for the purposes of overcoming immunity and resistance to damage.

Beast Attack

Beginning at 10th level, your beast is ready for the brawl. Whenever your beast takes the attack action, it can make two attacks instead of one. Starting at 26th level, it can make three attacks instead of two.

Bestial Hide

Once you reach 14th level, your beasts hide thickens and can withstand mighty strikes. Your beast has resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage. At 26th level, it gains resistance to magical bludgeoning, piercing and slashing damage.

Protect the Master

Upon reaching 18th level, your beast defends you with eternal devotion. Whenever you would be attacked while your beast is within 5-feet of you and not incapacitated, you can choose to have the attack target your beast instead.

Additionally, whenever you make an attack against a creature within 5-feet of your beast, your beast can make an attack against that creature as a reaction.

Drake Companion

Beginning at 3rd level, you have learned how to call upon a draconic ally. At the end of a long rest, you may call forth a Drake Companion (The statblock for which is on the next page) When you summon your drake, choose a damage type for its Draconic Essence trait.

The drake uses your proficiency bonus. In combat, the drake acts on your turn and obeys all of your spoken orders. If given no orders, it prioritizes defending you over itself. The drake has its own action which it can use to take the attack, dash, disengage, dodge or help action. It also can move and use its reaction as if it were a separate creature from you.

Once you reach 6th level, your bond deepens. You gain the following benefits:

• Your drake grows to medium size and gains a flying speed equal to its walking speed. If you are medium or smaller, you may ride your drake as a mount. If you do so, it cannot fly.

• Your drakes bite attack deals 1d6 bonus damage on hit, this damage is the same type as its Draconic Essence. Every 6 levels after you gain this feature (12, 18, 24, 30, ect) this is increased by 1d6.

• You gain resistance to your drakes Draconic Essence damage type. It must be summoned and alive for you to have this resistance.

Drake Breath

Beginning at 10th level, you can command your drake to exhale destructive energy. Provided your drake has not taken the attack action this turn, you may use your bonus action to command it to exhale.

In order for the drake to exhale, you must expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher.

Each creature within a 30-foot cone of the drake must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw (Constitution if Cold or Poison damage) On a failed saving throw, a creature suffers 2d8 damage per level of the expended spell slot. This damage is of the same type as your drakes Draconic Essence.

Fey Wanderer Conclave

Through some wondrous event, you have garnered a fair amount of magic from the feywild. You are now known as a fey wanderer, one who represents both the mortal and fey realms. Your presence is joyful to your allies, and fearsome to your foes.

Faerie Smite

Upon choosing this conclave at 3rd level, you have learned how to imbue your strikes with fae magic. Whenever you hit a target with a weapon attack, you may expend a spell slot of any level to deal 2d8 bonus psychic damage to the target.

For each spell slot level beyond 1st, you deal an additional 1d8 bonus psychic damage.

When you use this feature, you may choose to imbue it with the power of the Seelie or Unseelie court (You do not need to however)

Seelie. After rolling for the smites damage, you may choose to reduce the damage by any amount. You restore hit points to the amount reduced.

Additionally, whenever you or a creature you can see within 120-feet of you succeeds on a saving throw against being Charmed or Frightened, you can use your reaction to force a different creature you can see within 120-feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw.

On a failed saving throw, the target is Charmed or Frightened by you (Your choice) for 1 minute. The target can repeat this saving throw at the end of each of their turns, ending the effect on a successful saving throw.

Fey Retainer

At 10th level, you have been blessed with a fey ally. At the end of each long rest, you may cast the Summon Fey spell without requiring any components or expending a spell slot. You need not have the spell prepared to do so.

If you do, the spell is cast at a level equal to your proficiency bonus and it does not require concentration. The summoned fey remains until it is reduced to 0 HP or until you finish a long rest.

True Wielder

Beginning at 14th level, the fey magic you wield has come to you more naturally. You may now use Faerie Smite once per turn without expending a spell slot. If you do so, it is considered to have had a 1st level spell slot expended for it.

When you use this feature, you cannot align this smite with either court.

Mist Wanderer

Once you reach 18th level, you are able to slip through the hidden paths of the fey. As a bonus action, you may teleport to an unoccupied space within 30-feet of you. If there is a willing creature within 5-feet of you, you can bring them along with this teleport. The creature arriving within 5-feet of your destination in an unoccupied space.

Whenever you use this feature, you may expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. If you do so, the distance you can teleport is increased by 15-feet times the spell slots level.

Ultimate Protection

Finally at 26th level, your mind is unbreakable. You automatically succeed on saving throws against being charmed or frightened (You can still use Beguiling Twist)

Gloom Stalker Conclave

The darkness can be a fearsome place, many dangerous creatures lurk within those shadows... Gloom Stalkers do not fear it however, they are one of those dangerous creatures within the darkness. Embracing darkness, these rangers hunt their prey under the cover of shadows.

Dread Ambusher

Upon choosing this conclave at 3rd level, you are most prepared for combat at the beginning of it. You may add your Ranger modifier (Minimum of 1) to initiative checks.

Additionally, during your first turn in combat you gain the following benefits:

• Your walking speed increases by an amount equal to 5 times your proficiency bonus.

• If you take the attack action, you may make one additional attack as apart of that action.

• Your weapon attacks deal additional damage equal to the die used for your Mark Prey feature. This damage is the same type as the weapons.

Umbral Sight

Additionally at 3rd level, the darkness is where you belong. You can see in dim light as if it were bright light, and darkness as if it were dim light. You cannot discern color in darkness, only shades of grey... Unlike most darkvision, there is no range limit on this, so long as you can see a location, it benefits from this darkvision.

Also, provided you are fully covered in darkness, you are invisible to any creature that would rely on darkvision to see you.

Traceless Path

Once you reach 6th level, your steps are one with shadows. You gain a bonus to stealth checks equal to your Ranger modifier (Minimum of 1). Additionally, you can't be tracked except by magical means. You leave behind no tracks or other traces of your passage unless you choose to.

Superior Ambush

When you reach 14th level, your ambushes grow in potency. You gain an additional action during your first turn of combat. This action can only be used to make a single weapon attack, take the dash, disengage, dodge or hide action, or to cast a cantrip (If you know any)

Shadowy Dodge

Starting at 18th level, wisps of shadow swirl around you to protect you. When a creature makes an attack roll aginst you and doesn't have advantage on that roll, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on it.

If you are in darkness, you can use this feature once per turn without expending your reaction.

Constant Ambush

Finally at 26th level, you can somehow ambush people a second time immediately after already ambushing them. You gain the benefits of Dread Ambusher and Superior Ambush during your second turn of combat as well.

Horizon Walker Conclave

Rangers who seek to protect the balance of the multiverse claim this as their conclave. They seek out planar portals and watch over them, making sure nothing threatening slips through either side of it.

Planar Warrior

When you choose this conclave at 3rd level, you can call upon the multiverse to fuel your strikes. Once per turn when you hit a target with a weapon attack, you can choose to convert all of the attacks damage into force damage. If you do so, the attack deals an additional 1d8 force damage.

Portal Detection

Additionally at 3rd level, you are always aware of holes in your reality. You are aware of whether or not there is a planar portal within 1 mile of you.

If there is a planar portal, you do not learn its exact location, but you know what direction it is in.

Distant Strike

Beginning at 6th level, you phase in and out of reality as you strike. Whenever you would make an attack, you can teleport to an unoccupied space within 10-feet of you before or after the attack.

Phasing Strike

At 10th level, your attacks begin to grow unstable and phase through reality. When you take the attack action, you may make an additional attack as apart of that action. This additional attack has all of its damage converted to force damage, and you have disadvantage on its attack roll.

Disruption Aura

Once you reach 14th level, you project an aura that thwarts planar travel. Whenever a creature within 60-feet of you attempts to teleport, you can force them to make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed saving throw, their teleport fails, wasting their action (The spell slot/usage of the teleport is also still expended)

Each time you gain a level in this class after gaining this feature, the range of this aura increases by 5-feet.

Realm Walker

Beginning at 18th level, nothing can stop your journey. You can cast the Etherealness spell at will without expending a spell slot or requiring somatic or verbal components.

When you cast this spell using this feature, it has no maximum duration, meaning it lasts until you choose to end it.

Planar Champion

Finally at 26th level, you are a champion of the multiverse. You may now use Planar Warrior as many times as you wish per turn. You also no longer have disadvantage on the additional attack gained from Phasing Strike.

Monster Hunter Conclave

Every ranger is a monster hunter in some way, they base themselves around hunting creatures and then using pieces from those creatures to improve their gear... But these rangers take it a step further, honing their basic abilities to near perfection in order to cut down all foes in their path.

Prey of the Slayer

Beginning at 3rd level, those marked as your prey are in no envious position. When you hit your prey with a weapon attack (As per your Mark Prey feature) that creature suffers additional damage of the weapons damage type equal to your proficiency bonus.

Additionally, you may now use Mark Prey once per turn without requiring any actions. You still need to expend a usage to use it however.

Hunters Sense

Additionally at 3rd level, your foes cannot hide their faults from you. As a bonus action, you may target a creature within 60-feet of you that you can see and immediately learn all of its vulnerabilities, resistances and immunities (If any)

This feature also identifies any other basic weaknesses it may have (DM discretion, good examples would include sunlight sensitivity however)

This feature fails to learn any informaton about creatures protected from divination magic.

Predators Defense

Once you reach 6th level, your prey can't even touch you. Whenever a creature marked as your prey (As per your Mark Prey feature) forces you to make a saving throw, you may roll 1d6 and add it to your saving throws result. This also applies to any checks you make to escape their grapples.

Whenever your Mark Prey die increases, this increases as well (So 1d8 at 11th level, 1d10 at 17th level, 1d12 at 23rd level, and 2d6 at 29th level)

Trophy Keeper

Beginning at 10th level, you harbor more trophies than most other Rangers. You gain an additional Trophy Slot.

At 18th and 26th level, you gain another additional trophy slot (For two extra ones at 18th level, and three extra ones at 26th level)

Sense Weakness

At 14th level, creatures are even more incapable of hiding their weakness from you. You may now use Hunters Sense without expending a bonus action, you may do so a number of times per turn up to half your Ranger modifier (Minimum of 1, rounded down)

Primal Retrofits

Over the course of 1 minute you may harvest a Primal Retrofit from the list below out of a creature you personally killed (DM discretion, but you can't just lurk around a battlefield and harvest retrofits from other peoples kills)

After a retrofit has been harvested, you may spend one minute attaching it to an appropriate piece of equipment. An individual piece of equipment can only have one retrofit attached to it (You can attach 2 at 13th level, and 3 at 25th level)

You can remove a retrofit from an item over the course of a short rest, as apart of that same short rest you may apply the removed retrofit to a new item.

You can attach the same retrofit to the same piece of equipment multiple times, but they must have been harvested from different monsters (For example you could attach two different sets of Monster Teeth Lining to an individual weapon, provided both sets were taken from different monsters)

Once you release a lightning bolt with this feature, you cannot do so again until you complete a long rest. While you don't have the lightning bolt available, your weapon no longer deals bonus lightning damage.

Custom Retrofits/Trophies

I have tried to give a good amount of options to harvest from creatures... But the fact of the matter is there is so many creatures, especially when accounting for homebrew.

As a DM you should be prepared to make custom Retrofits and Trophies for your Ranger PC so you don't need to worry about them feeling cheaped out on if something they try to harvest from doesn't have an applicable retrofit or trophy.
