Crystalline Dust ◆◆ Frequency once per day

Effect The sharpshooter becomes Concealed for 4 rounds, though they can't use the concealment to Hide or Sneak, as normal for concealment where their position is obvious.

Speed
20 feet

Melee ◆ shortsword +14 (agile, finesse, versatile s), Damage 1d6+8 piercing

Ranged ◆ crossbow +14 (reload 1), Damage 1d8+6 piercing

Divine Innate Spells DC 18, attack +10; 1st sure strike

Calculated Reload When the sharpshooter reloads their crossbow, they also calculate the best angle to their target, increasing the damage die from 1d8 to 1d10 and gaining a +2 circumstance bonus to their damage roll for their next crossbow Strike, as long as it occurs before the end of their next turn.

Hurtful Critique ◆ (auditory, emotion, linguistic, mental) The sharpshooter makes witty but disparaging comments about the fighting style of a target within 30 feet, expressing sympathy over every missed blow and providing sarcastic advice on how to improve.

The target must succeed at a DC 18 Will save or take a –1 circumstance penalty to attack rolls (–2 on a critical failure) for 1 minute or until it makes a successful Strike against the sharpshooter.

A creature that critically succeeds or who Strikes the sharpshooter after failing is immune to that sharpshooter's Hurtful Critique for 1 hour.

Effect: Hurtful Critique
