Blood magic is often banned for a reason. Dark Trappers tap into the primordial magic that binds creatures to the world they live in. You have learned the shape of reality, and can use it to force creatures to stay in a location, send pulsing waves of damage through their blood, and harness the energy your prey provides to keep yourself alive longer.

You can temporarily restrict the movement of your prey. As an action, you can choose one point you can see within 60 feet of you. Choose a number of creatures up to your Wisdom modifier (minimum of one) within 10 feet of that point. Each of these creatures must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or else be tethered to that point.
You learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Bog Phantom Spells table. The spell counts as a ranger spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of ranger spells you know.


While tethered in this way, the creature can’t move further from that point in any direction, although it can move closer. These tethers last for 1 minute or until you dismiss them as a bonus action. A tethered creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.

* You have resistance to all damage except force damage.
