Hood of the Hunter

Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement by a ranger)

This leather hood focuses your hunter's instincts. While wearing it, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks, and you have blindsight out to a range of 10 feet. Whenever you cast hunter's mark, a spectral falcon appears and flies around you until the spell ends. For the duration, whenever you hit a target marked by the spell with an attack, the falcon swoops down and strikes the target for an additional 1d6 force damage. The target must be within 120 feet of you.

The hood has 4 charges and regains all expended charges daily at dawn. While wearing the hood, you can use a bonus action to expend 1 or more of its charges to cast the hunter's mark spell from it. This version of the spell doesn't require concentration, but the spell ends if the target drops to 0 hit points. You can mark multiple creatures simultaneously when you cast the spell in this way by expending additional charges: the number of creatures you can mark is equal to the number of charges you expend.

I've spent my life hunting. I was born for it. My body is my tightly drawn weapon, and I am always ready to strike.

Just here to say again: love the speed draw and memo at the end for these recent items. Love to see the process.

Thank you! It's honestly been nice to make them—sometimes an item takes me *all day* to paint, but the footage is only a couple hours long. It's a nice reminder to me that I'm often juggling other tasks throughout the day, and keeps me from feeling like I'm taking too long to do things.
