📋 About This Mod
This is a Homebrew subclass that offers a unique gameplay experience. Instead of creating a basic ranged weapon-oriented rogue, I’ve decided to force the player to fight with a crossbow in melee range. Of course, this gives you some advantages in dangerous situations. Let’s take a closer look at them:
SUBCLASS FEATURES
At level 3, you gain Scrap resourses equal to your Constitution modifier + 1. It is needed to use Scavenger's creation features. When you pick this subclass you can only use it to create Scavenger armor.
-
[]Scrap replenishes on Long rest
[
]You can replenish scrap by performing ranged weapon attacks at point-blank range against enemies wearing medium or heavy armour.
You also gain features, that will give you advantages for shooting in point blank range:
-
[]You no longer suffer penalty while shooting with a crossbow in point blank range
[
]You reduce enemy defenses when you make a ranged weapon attack with crossbow. After that, when you attack that enemy while being within 3. 5m and wielding a crossbow with both hands, you deal additional damage. This damage starts at 2d4 and increases to 2d6 at level 5 and 2d8 at level 17.
Regarding extra damage: you don't get a second attack as a rogue, so you need to reduce the enemy's defenses on the first turn, and then deal additional damage on every turn while successfully hitting the target. The condition lasts for 2 turns and applies to every ranged weapon attack made with two-handed crossbows, allowing you to first hit from afar and then come close to hit the target with additional damage.
You can cover yourself into flimsy Scavenger armor, which is made out of Scrap.
-
[]You need to spend an Action and 2 Scraps to use this skill
[
]Gain temporary hit points equal to twice your character level and get Flimsy Shrapnel Armour. The armour explodes and inflicts bleeding on nearby enemies when the temporary hit points are depleted.
