Sharpshooter Fighter, Revised
The Sharpshooter is a master of ranged combat. An excellent sniper and eagle-eyed watcher, this fighter is a perilous foe who can defeat an entire war band so long as they are kept at range.
Deadly Aim
Beginning when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, your aim has been honed to precison. As a bonus action on your turn, you can take careful aim at your targets. Until the end of your turn, your ranged weapon attacks gain two benefits:
-
The attacks ignore half and three-quarters cover.
-
On each hit, the weapon deals additional damage to the target equal to 2 + half your fighter level (rounded down).
You have 2 uses of this feature, and you regain all expended uses of when you complete a short rest or long rest. You gain an additional use of this feature at 7th, 10th, and 15th level.
Careful Eyes
Starting at 7th level, you excel at picking out hidden enemies and other threats. You gain proficiency in Perception, and have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight. If you are already proficient in Perception, you instead gain proficiency in a skill of your choice.
Close-Quarters Shooting
At 10th level, you've learn to handle yourself in close combat. Making a ranged attack roll while within 5 feet of an enemy doesn’t impose disadvantage on your roll.
In addition, if you hit a creature within 5 feet of you with a ranged attack on your turn, that creature can’t take reactions until the end of this turn.
Finally, you can make attacks of opportunity using ranged weapons when a creature leaves your reach.
Clustered Shot
Starting at 15th level, your accuracy is second to none, allowing you to land consecutive shots at the same point in rapid succession. When you make a ranged attack roll against a creature, you gain a +1 bonus to your attack roll for each successful ranged attack you've made against that creature this turn, to a maximum of +4. If you miss with a ranged attack against that creature, the bonus resets to +0.
Lethal Precision
Starting at 18th level, when you take time to aim, your strikes land with devastating accuracy. When you score a critical hit against a creature while using Deadly Aim, the additional damage it deals is doubled.
