## Archer

As the party advances towards the dragon, each member showcases their unique skills. The fighter wields their blade with deadly precision, the wizard conjures powerful spells, and the cleric heals the wounded. But amidst the chaos of battle, the archer stands out, their eyes trained on the dragon's every move. With a swift movement, the dragon takes flight, but the archer is ready. Their arrow flies true, striking the dragon with a lethal blow.

cross you would do well to keep their distance.

hold and aim a bow to how to lead a moving target. You will learn how to read the
wind, judge distances, and anticipate your opponent's movements.

should be Wisdom, Constitution if you choose the Mounted Fortress subclass.

#### Masked Calm
Starting at 3rd level, you can use their concentration to deceive your enemies. When activating Tempo, you can attempt to hide as part of the action. If you attack from hiding or when the target is unaware of your presence, you deal an additional 1d6 necrotic damage.

#### Phase Stride
Starting at 11th level, you can partially become ethereal. As an action, you can teleport up to your movement speed and pass through one solid object, such as a wall or door, as if it wasn't there.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short rest.

### Tempest Bringer
The Tempest Bringer wields the power of the Phenomenas through their arrows, bringing storms, drought, frost, and wildfire to their foes. Their connection to the Phenomenas is so strong that they can channel their energy through any ranged weapon attack, adapting to any situation to overcome any obstacle.

**The DC for the saving throw used in this class, (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier)**

#### Phenomenas
Starting at 3rd level, your ranged weapon attacks can gain one of four Phenomenas. When Tempo is activated, your ranged weapon attack creates a 5ft, 10ft, or 15ft sphere on impact depending on the chosen phenomena. Only one phenomena can be active per Tempo activation, the phenomena ends when the Tempo ends:

**Storms.**

Upon impact, a 5ft sphere is created, and creatures within the area must make a Dexterity saving throw to avoid taking 1d6 lightning damage. If they fail, they take half as much damage on a successful save. Creatures with metallic objects automatically fail the saving throw.
The damage increases as you level up in this class, reaching 2d6 at 10th level, 3d6 at 15th level, and 4d6 at 20th level.

**Drought.**

Upon impact, a 10ft sphere is created, and creatures starting their turn in the area take 3 fire damage.
The damage increases as you level up in this class, reaching 5 at 5th level, 7 at 10th level, 9 at 15th level, and 12 at 20th level.

**Frost.**

Upon impact, a 15ft aura is created, causing the area to become difficult terrain due to frost. When a creature moves in this terrain you can choose to make them make a Dexterity saving throw, falling prone on a fail.
The area of effect increases as you level up in this class, reaching 20ft at 10th level, 25ft at 15th level, and 30ft at 20th level.

**Wildfire.**

Upon impact, creatures or objects struck by the ammunition take an extra 1d8 fire damage, and flammable objects are ignited.
The damage increases as you level up in this class, reaching 2d8 at 10th level, 3d8 at 15th level, and 4d8 at 20th level.

#### Lingering Effects
Starting at 7th level, after an Phenomena has ended, you gain the following effects until you use another Phenomena:

**Storms.** You gain resistance to lightning damage. Additionally, enemies within 10 feet of you must make a Dexterity saving throw when you take the Attack action with a ranged weapon attack. On a failed save, they take 1d6 lightning damage.

**Drought.** You gain resistance to fire damage. Additionally, any creature of your choice within 5ft takes 2 fire damage, and you are immune to the effects of extreme heat as described in the Dungeon Master's Guide..

**Frost.** You gain resistance to cold damage. Additionally, you gain 1d4 temporary hit points, and you are immune to the effects of extreme cold as described in the Dungeon Master's Guide.

**Wildfire.** If you are grappled, the creature grappling you takes 1d4 fire damage and takes that same amount of damage on subsequent turns until they use their action to put out the flames, you gain the ability to ignite flammable objects within 5 feet of you as a bonus action. Additionally, any ranged weapon attack you make can deal fire damage instead of piercing damage.

#### Elemental Shielding
Starting at 11th level, you and allies within 10ft gain the resistance from the active Lingering Effects, granting protection against the elements. In addition, you and your allies gain advantage on Dexterity saving throws made involving the resisted element.

For example, if the active Lingering Effect is Drought, you gain resistance to fire damage and advantage on Dexterity saving throws made against fire-based attacks.

#### Element Burst
Starting at 15th level, if you are hit with a ranged or melee weapon attack while a Phenomena is active and it reduces you to 0 or 1 hit points, you can release a burst of elemental energy that deals damage to the attacker. The damage type corresponds to the active Phenomena. The damage dealt is equal to the amount of hit points you lost that reduced you to 0 or 1 hit points.
* Storms = lightning damage.
* Drought = fire damage.
* Frost = cold damage.
* Wildfire = fire damage.

\columnbreak

#### Unity
Starting at 18th level, you have achieved true unity with the Phenomena. While active, The Phenomenas gain additional benefits:

**Storms.** The radius of the sphere increases by 30ft and the lightning can strike up to 4 different spaces. Any creatures occupying those spaces are subject to the Save and Damage, with larger creatures requiring multiple saves.

**Drought.** Whenever enemies take Fire damage within the sphere, you can heal yourself or an ally you can see by an amount equal to 5 + your Wisdom modifier.

**Frost.** When the sphere is first activated, you can choose 1 creature within it. That creature must make a Dexterity Save, and on a failed save, its speed is reduced to 0 until the end of its next turn as frost freezes it in place.

**Wildfire.** Upon contact with a creature or object, the Wildfire now generates a 10ft radius sphere. All creatures within the sphere must make a Dexterity Save or take the Wildfire damage. Once a creature takes damage from the Wildfire, it generates its own 10ft radius sphere, and any creatures within it who have not already been affected by the Wildfire take damage as well.

### Supernatural 
The Supernaturals are renowned for their exceptional marksmanship, even when their targets are around tricky corners or in difficult-to-reach places. Their secret lies in their mastery of telekinetic magic, allowing them to perform gravity-defying feats while still hitting their intended targets with pinpoint accuracy.

#### Telepathic Mastery 
Beginning at 3rd level, your mastery of telekinetic magic grants you telepathic abilities. 
* You can cast the message cantrip at will. 
* Additionally, at 5th level, you can cast the Sending spell once per long rest to communicate with distant allies. 
* At 11th level, you gain proficiency in Arcana checks, allowing you to better understand the magical forces you manipulate.

#### Psychokinesis

- You can change its direction at every 20ft increment, bypassing any cover.
- Additionally, the attack deals an extra 1d4 psychic damage to the target.

#### Stasis
Starting at 7th level, while Tempo is active, you gain the ability to create a Psychic Sphere with a radius of 30ft. Using your Telepathic powers, you can halt 1 creature, 1 ranged attack, or 1 object within this sphere. Depending on its nature, you can do one of the following using your reaction:
- **Ranged Weapon Attack**. You can halt the attack as soon as it enters your Psychic Sphere. It will be locked in the air for 1 minute, and when the time is up, it will lose all momentum and fall to the ground. At 11th level, you can redirect it with its initial attack roll.

- **Objects or Small structures**. You can halt them as soon as they enter your Psychic Sphere. They will be locked in the air for 1 minute, and when the time is up, they will lose all momentum and fall to the ground.

- **Creature**. A creature within your Psychic Sphere must make a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + Proficiency Bonus + Wisdom) or be restrained. They can make a saving throw on each subsequent turn to try and break free.

You must concentrate to hold the creature, attack, or object in place, and you can hold it for up to 1 minute. If it is interacted with, you must make a concentration check to see if you can maintain its position. You must take a long rest before you can use this ability again.

\columnbreak

#### Kinetic Tension
Starting at 11th level, you gain the ability to use Stasis a number of times equal to 1 plus your Wisdom modifier before requiring a long rest. However, if you use Stasis beyond this limit, you will start to suffer from exhaustion, gaining one level of exhaustion for each additional use of Stasis.

#### Guided Attack
Starting at 15th level, you gain the ability to guide your attacks towards your intended target. If you miss with a weapon attack, you can reroll the attack once. The number of times you can use this ability before taking a long rest is equal to your Wisdom modifier.

I'd like to thank you for looking through my first ever D&D 5e homebrew class. I plan on making more in future, such as a summoner class, a futuristic small mech rider class for high fantasy settings and a Glyph Knight who uses the 8 schools of magic.

I created the Archer class to address two main issues I see in Dungeons and Dragons fifth edition. First, I believe that archery, fighting with a bow, crossbow, or any ranged weapon, is often overlooked and considered an inferior form of combat. Second, if a player wants to focus on archery, they typically have to choose between the fighter, ranger, or rogue classes, which don't fully specialize in ranged combat. By designing the Archer class, I aimed to provide players with a dedicated ranged combat option that can compete with other combat styles.
