Deepwood Sniper Ranger Conclave v3.0 | 3.5e's Deepwood Sniper converted to 5e

Very interesting and seems appropriately powered. I really like it.

The first sentence under “Sniper’s Intuition” does have the word “with” just dangling there with no object. The sentence would work if it was deleted, or if “ranged weapons” were added after it, but as it stands it’s just sitting there doing nothing.

Hello again! I'm glad you've used my wording, which I hope everyone else is appreciating.

The reworked Headshot Tactics is quite nice, elegant even in how it integrates Sniper's Intuition for the bonus damage. However, the language is a little off to my exceptionally rules lawyer-y senses. Allow me to make one last contribution:

Headshot Tactics: At 15th level, your legendary aim allows you to aim for the head. Whenever you have advantage on a ranged weapon attack roll and hit, the target takes additional damage from your Sniper's Intuition feature and the target must also make a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the end of your next turn if the lower of the two d20 rolls would also hit the target.

Additionally, when you make a ranged weapon attack roll with advantage, your ranged weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.

This feature does not work against Gargantuan creatures nor creatures without a head or similar anatomy.

Thank you, everyone, for the feedback I've gotten in the 2 previous versions. I like finishing up my brews on the third version, so I hope any changes I need to do now are simple wording changes at most. I'd still like your thoughts though. After going through the washer a few times, hope you like it!

v3.0 Changes:

- Consistent Aim's name changed to Steady Aim.

- Flawless Vision, Distracting Shot and Steady Aim are completely reworded to Otaku-sama's rewording.

- Sniper's Intuition's mechanical text reworded to Otaku-sama's rewording (you've pretty much written the whole thing now lol, sorry I can't fit you into the credits).

- Headshot tactics reworked for that extra push. It is no longer the Champion's Superior Critical feature. (thanks for the idea Zamiel & RSquared)

Since you're using the word Conclave this is intended for Revised Ranger I assume? (Only revised ranger uses Conclaves, normal ranger never does) If so you need to add extra attack at level 5, since that is part of the subclasses in Revised Ranger.

Hey, that's pretty good

• "They are stealthy, long ranged terminators" would probably be a better wording at the start - even though it may be a bit over the top either way... XD
• "at level 3, your shots with a longbow (?) are more effective ..." some missing words.
• "you also gain proficiency with the poisoner's kit." pretty sure that's the regular wording.
• I think "Distracting Shot" does not describe what this feature does very well. How about "Intervening Shot"?Also, "After using this feature, you can't do so again until you complete a short or long rest" would be the proper WotC wording.
• It kind of irks me that "Steady Aim" describes the active ability of "Perfect Vision". Calling the steady aim feature "Unerring Accuracy" would be much better.
• The headshot tactics feature is a bit convoluted. Especially asking for a save to prevent blindness. I guess the save in question would be against the ranger's spellcasting DC? It is not really specified. Also it slows down the game and doesn't really make thematic sense. Most headshots with a longbow would likely not blind a target - but very likely kill it, which is represented in the increased damage already.
• What about level 5? Do they get extra attack?

Overall I feel like this subclass is a bit boring to be honest. The added range will hardly ever come into play (longbow already has incredibly range) and all you are left with is features that say "You do more damage and you hit more". Swapping some feature for something more unique would be a good call - and you got a free slot at level 5, sooo.... Maybe get rid of the features table and come up with a cool ability for level 5 instead of regular old extra attack? :)

Looking good!

Snipins’ a good job, mate! It's challengin' work, outta doors. I guarantee you'll not go hungry.”

Seems pretty interesting.

One small note though, for the second part of Flawless vision; since it's the same effect of rogue's Aim cuning action (from Unearthed Arcana), why not use the same wording?
You gain an additional way to use your Cunning Action: carefully aiming your next attack. As a bonus action, you give yourself advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can use this bonus action only if you haven't moved during this turn, and after you use the bonus action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.

This looks fine but be aware that it synergizes really well with a rogue multiclass. Flawless vision basically guarantees a chance for sneak attack every turn.

Hmm, just noticed something. Skulker/Eagle Totem allow you to see in dim light as if it were bright, but dim light is a form of light obscurement. Flawless vision, then, grants perfect sight in total darkness to darkvision races, which may not be intended.
