Assassinate. During its first turn, the sniper has advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn. Any hit the sniper scores against a surprised creature is a critical hit.

Sneak Attack (1/Turn). The sniper deals an extra 13 (4d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 ft. of an ally of the sniper that isn't Incapacitated and the sniper doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll.

Sniper. When the sniper makes a ranged attack, its range is doubled, it ignores half cover and three-quarters cover, and long range does not impose disadvantage on its ranged attacks.

Stealthy. The sniper can attempt to Hide as a bonus action.

Actions

Multiattack. The sniper makes two melee attacks.

Modified Heavy Crossbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +9 to hit, range 800/800 ft., one target. Hit: 9 (1d10 + 4) piercing damage.
