ON THE COVER
M. Wayne Miller illustrates a sorcerer in a rainy alley using
her network strikes, ready to defeat any foe in her path.
Disclaimer: I'm not responsible for making deals with a kobold gang for illegally buying a grenade launcher without owning the
required training and licenses. If a special response unit breaks into your house, you probably made something illegal in that city,
and you should go to jail for that (perhaps using the grenade launcher in the streets is the cause of your problems with the law).

Target Creature Arcana, you also gain the Extra Attack feature.
At 3rd level, you may designate a creature as your target. You Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,

the creature only through her actions or description, such as
"the orc from the bank heist" or "the gnoll who led the jail
breakout". You cannot designate a creature while you or the
target is in combat, and once you choose a target you must
wait 24 hours before choosing another.
The creature you target counts as a favored enemy for you.
No Trace
At 7th level, you have advantage on checks you make to hide
and avoid being detected while you are in your favored terrain
or an urban environment. Additionally, while you are tracking
your target, you can move stealthily at a normal pace and
enemies have disadvantage on Perception checks to track
you.
Play a Hunch
At 11th level, you can use your action and expend one ranger
spell slot to determine whether an assumption, hunch, or
guess is correct. When you do so, you must state the
assertion (such "He hass left the building", or "The mayor is
an evil man"). Then, the GM rolls a percentile dice. There's a
70% + 1% per ranger level chance of getting a response on
the hunch. If the roll is a success, the GM lets the player
know if the hunch is true, false, both or neither. A "both"
response is possible for vague assumptions such as "the
mayor is an evil man" can be both true and false (he is evil,
but not human). An "unknown" response is for questions with
no immediate answer.
The GM may determine that the hunch is so obvious that it
does not require a roll, or that is so vague that there is no
chance for success.
A hunch does not translate as a legal truth, and will not
stand up in a court of law. Rather it is an obvious fact to the
Shadow Hunter alone. Finding proof of an assumption such
as "the mayor is a mind flayer" would require additional
work.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your
Wisdom modifier and you regain any expended uses when
you finish a long rest.

Arcane Tradition
The most common arcade traditions in the multiverse resolve
around the schools of magic. Wizards through the ages have
cataloged thousands of spells, grouping them into categories
called schools.
School of Technomancy
A new world brings new opportunities as the magical and the
mundane fuse into novel patterns. The technomage combines
the rising power of magic with a deep understanding of
technology. The technomage has a roster of spells that she
may cast, and in addition gains new powers that meld magic
and machinery.
Technomancy Savant
Beginning when you select this school at 2nd level, you
change your spellbook into a E-book device infused with
magic, allowing you to save spells on it in a special format
called "spellfiles". You can copy spells you can prepare at half
the time.
