Subclass Monster Hunter Carver Guild
The Carver Guild is a Monster Hunter subclass of heavy-armored frontline hunters who use a devastating Reaction attack to punish every melee hit they land, grow immune to fear at Level 7, and at Level 10 can Frighten enemies with every Reaction strike.
| LEVEL | FEATURE |
|---|---|
| 3 | Equipped for Battle, Close Quarters |
| 7 | True Grit |
| 10 | Terrorize the Terrors |
Equipped for Battle You gain training with Heavy armor.
Close Quarters When you hit a creature with an attack roll using a Melee weapon, you can take a Reaction to deal an extra 2d6 damage of the same type dealt by the weapon. That creature has Disadvantage on its next attack roll before the start of your next turn.
True Grit You are immune to the Frightened condition.
Terrorize the Terrors When you hit a creature with an attack as part of a Reaction, you can force the creature to make a Wisdom saving throw or have the Frightened condition until the end of your next turn. The DC for the saving throw equals 8 plus your Intelligence modifier and your Proficiency Bonus.
The Carver Guild is the armored frontliner of the three Monster Hunter Guilds. Equipped for Battle at Level 3 gives Heavy Armor access, removing the base class's Medium Armor limitation. Close Quarters converts every melee hit into a potential Reaction attack — dealing extra damage and imposing Disadvantage on the target's next attack, turning the Hunter's Reaction into both offense and soft control.
True Grit at Level 7 pairs naturally with the base class's Studied Response: you can stand in melee against fear-inducing creatures without flinching, and still counter their attacks with Reaction strikes. Terrorize the Terrors at Level 10 makes those Reaction strikes carry a fear proc, completing a loop — you hit them, Reaction-attack them, and now they might be Frightened on top of having Disadvantage.
