When we talked about Ranger in BG3, we would think of 1) Gloom Stalker 2) Beast Master. Some of us doesn't even know what a Hunter is. Personally, I think Hunter should use Traps, so I create this mod!

My goal is to let Hunter use traps skills on a tactical basis rather than just another fireball. Therefore trap skill can only place within a range of 2m. With such a small range, some trap skills will hurt yourself if you place it directly on the enemy. You have to predict the movement of enemy and place the trap on their route!

*I haven't removed anything (just modify) from the original hunter, if a skill/passive is not mentioned in this list, it just keep its original effect.

Progression

Level 3

- NEW! Mini Trap: Ensnare: Place a circle glyph that will be triggered when enemy stepped on it. Creatures and Objects within the radius must pass a Dexterity save or they will suffer piercing damage and Entangled status. Only 1 Ensnare Trap can be placed at a time.

Damage: 2d6
Radius: 1.5m
Placing Range: 2m
Cost: 1 Bonus Action Point
CoolDown: None

This is the basic trap of Hunter, which can be used freely if you have bonus action. Although the damage is low, the Entangled (Ensnare) Status would be very useful to avoid enemies chasing you.

Hunter's Prey Passive
- Horde Breaker: 2 strikes that can target maximum 2 targets, with each strike dealing halved weapon damage. No Cooldown.
- Giantkiller: reduce number required to crit to Large (or Larger) Type enemies by 3.

Swift Strike gives Hunter the ability to place trap without losing their weapon attack too much.

Level 7

Defensive Tactics Passive

- NEW! Trap Distraction: Whenever you placed a trap, you AC + 1. This can be stacked at maximum 3 times.
This allows you to have some good defences if you keep placing traps. Limited by how the game is coded (or I am just dumb), if you stacked it to 3 times, its duration is extended to 3 rounds :( I would like to make it to 1 rounds if someone tell me how to do it.


Level 8

- NEW! Advanced Trap: Sleep: Place a circle glyph that will be triggered when enemy stepped on it.
