Absolute Chapter
Jaegers of the Absolute Chapter aim for the perfect hunt
- to kill their prey without suffering a single hit. Quick
hands, quick feet, and quick minds, they never stay still -
always one step ahead, always striking with lethal
accuracy. They are masters of their craft, refining the
core techniques of a jaeger to absolute perfection.
Members of the Absolute Chapter are respected by their
allies and feared by their enemies.
Counter Strike
Starting at 3rd level, when you use the Weapon
Parry Focus Art, your damage roll increases by an
amount equal to half your level in this class
(rounded down). If the amount of damage you
block exceeds the damage their attack would
deal, and your attack roll would hit their AC,
the target takes damage equal to the remainder of
the damage roll.
Whenever you expend a Focus Point on a Focus Art,
you gain advantage on your next weapon attack roll
before the end of your next turn.
Unencumbered Movement
Also at 3rd level, while you are wearing light armor or
no armor, your speed increases by 10 feet, and the
distance you can move when using the Dodge Step
Focus Art increases by 5 feet.
Encircling Strike
At 7th level, if you move to the opposite side of a
creature from where you started your turn, or are
directly on the opposite side of a creature from an
allied creature of yours, you deal additional damage to
the target equal to your Momentum die the first time
you hit it with a melee weapon attack.
Mobile Pursuer
At 14th level, when you move as part of your Hunter's
Pursuit, you ignore difficult terrain, can pass through
hostile creatures, and don’t need to spend extra
movement to climb or swim.
The Hunt
Starting at 17th level, you can declare a hunt (no action
required). For 1 minute, you are under the effect of
freedom of movement and each time you expend a
Focus Point, you gain 2 Momentum dice, instead of 1.
This effect ends early if you become incapacitated, or
end it early as a bonus action. Once you use this feature,
you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
