Umbral Archer - Ranger subclass

If you like my work and would like to support me, it would mean a lot.

Specialized in exploiting obscurity, the Umbral Archer excels at ranged combat, controlling the terrain and being mobile.

It takes inspiration from Gloom Stalker and Assassin, but really embraces the theme of being teinted by shadows.

In the right hands, it is a dreadful powerhouse, an untouchable threat looming around its preys, taking them out mercilessly.

It relies on obscurity and stealth both before engaging and during combat, and has the means to turn even an unsuitable place into its hunting grounds.

Ranged weapons are central to the Umbral Archer, most of its abilities require them, and is even rewarded to not have a melee backup option.

Sneak Attack: Ranged
