These rare archers are blessed by the weave and the Ethereal Plane, and through their rigorous training, are able to awaken magical capabilities similarly to how sorcerers do. Through this spiritual connection with the veil, they conjure deadly weapons from their own souls, and access techniques that transcend physical pain.

The weapon conjured, a Soulbow, can be a weightless shortbow, longbow, light crossbow, or heavy crossbow (your choice) that lacks the heavy property.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest.

Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a ranged weapon attack, you can expend one soul fragment, causing one of the following effects to take place on your target: The target takes an additional 1d6 force damage, and it must make a Strength saving throw or be pushed 10 feet in a straight line and fall prone. If the creature is concentrating on a spell, it must subtract 1d6 from the saving throw it makes to maintain its concentration.

The target must make a Constitution saving throw or lose resistance to a damage type of your choice until the start of your next turn. Interplanar Step 10th-level Soulbow feature Your innate connection with the Ethereal Plane allows you to blink between planes. When you use your action surge or second wind features, you can teleport to an unoccupied space within 15 feet of you as part of the same action. Soul Binding 15th-level Soulbow feature When you are hit by a creature within 60 feet of you, you can use your reaction to bind your living essence directly to theirs. The creature must make a Charisma saving throw or have both of your soul threads linked for 1 minute. As a free action if you receive damage in the same turn this feature is used, or as a reaction on each of your following turns, you can expend one of your soul fragments to deal to the creature bound to you force damage equal to half the damage you receive. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effects on itself on a success. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest. Unrelenting Aim 18th-level Soulbow feature While your soulbow is conjured, your ranged weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20. Additionally, when you do so, the creature must make a Constitution saving throw, from which it must subtract a number equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). On a fail, the creature takes one level of exhaustion (up to a maximum of 5). The save DC for class features is 8 + proficiency bonus + Charisma modifier
