'''Nightstalker''' is a group of subclasses sharing a common theme, that of the Vampire Slayer, Paranormal Investigator, Witch Hunter, Exorcist, etc.  They have studied gothic monsters and ways to defeat them. There are societies devoted to protecting people from and eliminating the treat from such {{iplink|creatures of emnity}}.

Choose one of the following types: {{srd5lc|Aberration}}s, {{srd5lc|Celestial}}s, {{srd5lc|Construct}}s, {{srd5lc|Dragon}}s, {{srd5lc|Fey}}, {{srd5lc|Fiend}}, {{srd5lc|Shapechanger}}, or {{srd5lc|Undead}}. These are {{anchor|creatures of enmity}}. 

You also learn to speak, read, and write one of the following languages: {{5elang|Abyssal}}, {{5elang|Celestial}}, {{5elang|Deep Speech}}, {{5elang|Draconic}}, {{5elang|Infernal}}, or {{5elang|Sylvan}}.

You may gain enmity with an additional type every 5th level hereafter (_th, _th, __th, __th, and __th).

===Esoteric Knowledge===
''___th level feature''<ref name="tier1" /><br /> 
Your esoteric knowlege grants you {{srd5lc|Advantage}} on {{SRD5|Intelligence}} and {{SRD5|Wisdom}} {{srd5lc|Skill}} {{srd5lc|Check}}s that are related to creatures of {{iplink|Enmity|enmity}}.

===Nightstalker Magic===
<div class="ringed shaded">
''This feature is only available to classes with the ''Spellcasting'' feature.<ref name="addlspells">Note: If a class's subclasses have a tradition of providing additional spells , such as a cleric's divine domain's domain spells feature, the traditional feature may replace this feature (or this feature may be renamed to match the tradition).</ref>''
</div>
''___th level feature''<ref name="tier1">Note: This is the level the class obtains the subclass.</ref> ''<br />

You learn an additional {{srd5lc|Spell}}s when you reach certain levels in [this class], as shown in the Nightstalker Spells table. The spell counts as a  spell for you, but it doesn’t count against the number of [this class] spells you know.<br />

===Iron Resolve===
''___th level feature''<ref name="tier3">This is the level the trait obtains the 3rd tier of traits.</ref> 
You gain {{srd5lc|Proficiency}} is Wisdom {{srd5lc|Saving Throw}}. If you already have proficiency in this, you gain proficiency in either Intelligence or Charisma saving throws.

===Turn Creatures of Enmity===
''___th level feature''<ref name="tier3" /> 
You gain the ability to turn creatures of enmity. As an {{srd5lc|Action}}, you present your {{srd5lc|Holy Symbol}} or item that is a bane to the creature (wolf's bane, cold iron, silver, etc.) and verbally censure the creature of enmity. Each creature of enmity that can see or hear you within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw ({{SRD5|DC}} = 8 + your {{srd5lc|Proficiency Bonus}} + your {{SRD5|Intelligence}}/{{SRD5|Wisdom}}/{{SRD5|Charisma}} modifier). If the creature fails its saving throw, it is ''turned''. This lasts for 1 {{srd5lc|Minute}}, or until it takes any damage. 

A turned creature must spend its {{srd5lc|Turn}}s trying to {{srd5lc|Move}} as far away from you as it can, and it can’t willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can’t take {{srd5lc|Reaction}}s. For its action, it can use only the {{srd5lc|Dash}} action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there’s nowhere to move, the creature can use the {{srd5lc|Dodge}} action. 

Once nightstalker uses this feature, he/she may not use it again until he/she finishes a short or long rest. 
<div class="ringed shaded">
If the class already has a "Turn" feature (such as the Cleric's Turn Undead) this feature just extends the kind of creatures that may be turned.
