Content

An unassuming human pounces in the night, his blade and revolver at the ready. A gunshot, followed by the sound of metal against flesh and the splattering of blood over cobblestone. He snickers before plunging his blade anew into his battered prey.

An elegant manikin vaults atop a maddened monster, before putting the barrel of her cannon against its skull and pulling the trigger. She had always loved explosions.

Battleaxe in hand, a massive orc brutally decapitates a beast, then leaps towards another, impaling the silvered weapon in the creature’s chest and ripping a gashing wound from neck to groin.

Hello everyone!

Today I'm releasing the Jaeger Class from Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt on Patreon.

A lightning-fast skirmisher who parries attacks and dodges death, building up lethal momentum. Once their fury reaches its peak, they unleash devastating Finishers—brutal killing blows powerful enough to tear a monster’s head clean from its shoulders.

There's a few of reasons for this release.

The class didn't receive as much playtest as I would like. As such we are still balancing it according to feedback.

Due to this ongoing balancing I need a place where to keep a changelog (which you can find attached to this post).

Some people do not wish to get the Full Steinhardt's Guide book, and would rather just get the class. This is for them.

If you have any feedback on the class, please let me know in the comments or as a private message. (Currently I'm particularly interested on the power level of the Absolute Chapter and Marauder Chapter at level 7).

Take Care!

Is it for the 5e or 5.5e? 5e Jaeger was a blast to play, a really fun glass canon

Awesome! Will you be releasing any new content for the Jaeger class before the crusade? Or will it just be balancing?

Harry Law

SAD? Had a look at the change log and have looked through many books. What is SAD in relation to pact of the blade.

Hey MonkeyDM! Big fan of your work, and really looking forward to seeing future amazing content you make! Edit (misclick lol): is there a place we can submit questions/suggestions regarding the Jaeger and its features? There are a couple things I'd like clarity on, but I don't want to bog your post's comments with all my pestering!

I mentioned this in my reply to your explanation, but the wording for the 5.5e Sanguine Chapter's Burning Blood option for its Blood Hex feature is outdated! It is currently worded so that the damage scales based off of the Necrotic damage dealt. However, the feature can now be used on Finishers other than the subclass's special Blood Drain, none of which deal Necrotic damage. That would mean the option is unusable RAW with other Finishers.
