The Stalker

The Stalker

Shadowstep I
Level 1

The first time the Stalker would spend AP to move each exchange, they spend one less.

Adrenaline
Level 2

The Stalker gains between 1 and 4 AP immediately, and loses that much AP at the beginning of the next exchange. Adrenaline has a cooldown of three exchanges.

Augment Slot
Level 3

Tracking I - 2 AP
Level 4

Whenever the Stalker would roll to encounter a wild Natrelmon, they may declare a specific Natrelmon that they would like to encounter. If the encounter roll is within 25 of the tracked Natrelmon's value in the encounter table, they instead encounter that Natrelmon.

Whenever the Stalker rolls to capture a Wild Natrelmon, they get a +10 bonus to the capture roll. If they are rolling to capture the Natrelmon they are tracking, this is instead increased to +20.

In combat, the Stalker is able to hide from sight. By spending 2 AP the Stalker becomes camouflaged, unable to be detected by enemies that are within ten feet of them. The Stalker can only use this ability while enemies cannot currently see them. The camouflage breaks once the Stalker deals or receives damage.

Specialisation
Level 5

The Stalker specialises in tracking a specific type of Natrelmon, enhancing their tracking bonuses. Instead of rolling the encounter die, the Stalker can simply choose to encounter a Natrelmon of their chosen type that is within the rarity they rolled.

The Stalker gains the ability to designate a foe as their quarry, leaving a magical mark upon contact with them. This costs 2 AP to activate. The Stalker always has True Sight of their marked target, and counts all indirect hits as direct hits. Only one target can be marked at a time.

Shadowstep now applies to the first two times the Stalker moves each exchange. Additionally, up to twice per battle, movement used with Shadowstep can camouflage the Stalker until they stop moving.

Augment Slot

Tracking II - 1 AP
Level 10

The Stalker may now control the gender of tracked Natrelmon they encounter, and can reroll the encounter die once for every unique wild roll they make. Additionally, the Stalker may encounter a tracked Natrelmon if the encounter die is within 50 of its value on the encounter table.

Entering camouflage now costs 1 AP. Additionally, once per battle, the Stalker may enter camouflage even while being in sight of enemies.

The Stalker can no longer be located by footprints, by smell, or by sound or any non-magical means.

Dogged Pursuit
Level 11

Once every five exchanges, when an enemy would move further than ten feet away from the Stalker while they are camouflaged, the Stalker may immediately move a distance equal to the distance their opponent moved without spending AP.
