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 creatures of emnity.
Some famous nightstaklers[1] are: Rudolph van Richten[2], Ezmerelda d'Avenir[2], Carl Kolchak[3], and Abraham Van Helsing[4]

Nightstalker subclass name Spells
| Class name Level | Spells |
|---|---|
| 1st | spell name [8], spell name [8] |
| 3rd | spell name [8] |
| 5th | spell name [8] |
| 7th | spell name [8] |
| 9th | spell name [8] |
Iron Resolve
___th level feature[9] You gain proficiency is Wisdom 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[9] You gain the ability to turn creatures of enmity. As an action, you present your 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 (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence/Wisdom/Charisma modifier). If the creature fails its saving throw, it is turned. This lasts for 1 minute, or until it takes any damage.
A turned creature must spend its turns trying to 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 reactions. For its action, it can use only the 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 dodge action.
Once nightstalker uses this feature, he/she may not use it again until he/she finishes a short or long rest.
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.
