Trained in the art of slaying aberrations, fiends, and undead, you stand against evil where others falter, and draw your blade before others recognize a threat. Grand schemes and plots are less important than retribution against those monsters which stalk the night, and your thirst for such retribution is unquenchable. There is always another werewolf to be slain, another vampire to be staked, another demon to be banished; people rarely thank you, but you find satisfaction enough in your work. ### Bonus Proficiencies (Level 3) Starting when you choose this specialization at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with martial weapons and medium armor. ### Trinkets (Level 3) By 3rd level, you've collected a number of magical trinkets to aid you in the elimination of monsters and other fiendish threats. You can use the following trinkets: #### Concecrated Whetstone As a bonus action, you can cast the spell magic weapon once without using a spell slot or spell components. #### Gilded Dragon Scale As a bonus action, you gain resistance to one damage type of your choice for a minute. #### Wyverntooth Necklace When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can use your bonus action to activate this trinket, dealing an additional `2d6` acid damage to the creature. ### Monster Slayer (Level 6) Beginning at 6th level, when you use the Attack action, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once) and regain all expended uses when you finish a short or long rest. ### Silvered Edge (Level 10) Starting at 10th level, whenever you deal damage to a creature with a weapon attack, it can't regain hit points until the start of your next turn. Additionally, when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, it can't be raised as an undead creature nor be returned to life for 7 days. ### Killer Instinct (Level 14) Starting at 14th level, you can use your Exploit Vulnerability feature twice on your turn, but can't use it against the same target more than once.
