Whenever you finish a [Short Rest](short-rest-xphb.md) or [Long Rest](long-rest-xphb.md), you can replace the chosen option with the other one. #### Colossus Slayer Your tenacity can wear down even the most resilient foes. When you hit a creature with a weapon, the weapon deals an extra `1d8` damage to the target if it's missing any of its [Hit Points](hit-points-xphb.md). You can deal this extra damage only once per turn. #### Horde Breaker Once on each of your turns when you make an attack with a weapon, you can make another attack with the same weapon against a different creature that is within 5 feet of the original target, that is within the weapon's range, and that you haven't attacked this turn. ### Hunter's Lore (Level 3) You can call on the forces of nature to reveal certain strengths and weaknesses of your prey. While a creature is marked by your Hunter's Mark, you know whether that creature has any Immunities, Resistances, or Vulnerabilities, and if the creature has any, you know what they are. ### Defensive Tactics (Level 7) You gain one of the following feature options of your choice. Whenever you finish a [Short Rest](short-rest-xphb.md) or [Long Rest](long-rest-xphb.md), you can replace the chosen option with the other one. #### Escape the Horde [Opportunity Attacks](actions.md#Opportunity%20Attack) have [Disadvantage](disadvantage-xphb.md) against you. #### Multiattack Defense When a creature hits you with an attack roll, that creature has [Disadvantage](disadvantage-xphb.md) on all other attack rolls against you this turn. ### Superior Hunter's Prey (Level 11) Once per turn when you deal damage to a creature marked by your Hunter's Mark, you can also deal that spell's extra damage to a different creature that you can see within 30 feet of the first creature. ### Superior Hunter's Defense (Level 15) When you take damage, you can take a [Reaction](reaction-xphb.md) to give yourself [Resistance](Assets/5ETools/rules/variant-rules/resistance-xphb.md) to that damage and any other damage of the same type until the end of the current turn.
