Cleric subclass
The gods of the Wilderness domain bestow upon their clerics mastery over the ancient arts of pursuit and survival. These deities grant their followers both the practical skills of a hunter and the divine magic to enhance their capabilities in the wilderness. Their priests are equally at home stalking prey through dense forests or tracking dangerous creatures across open plains, combining their expertise with ranged weapons and their connection to nature itself. Clerics of this domain learn to move undetected through any environment, communicate with the natural world, and strike with deadly precision when the moment is right. Whether providing for their communities or pursuing more dangerous quarry, these divine hunters exemplify the perfect blend of martial skill and spiritual connection to the wild.

When you choose this domain at 1st level, you gain proficiency with longbows and heavy crossbows. You also gain proficiency in Nature and Survival.
At 2nd level, you can use your Channel Divinity to camouflage yourself in any environment, gaining advantage on Stealth checks made to move quietly or to hide. You also leave no scent. The effect lasts for a number of rounds equal to your cleric level + your Wisdom modifier.
At 6th level, you can select a favored enemy as if you were a ranger. You gain all the benefits of the ranger's Favored Enemy feature with one exception: you choose additional favored enemies (and languages) at 10th level and 16th level instead of at 6th level and 14th level.
At 8th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapon strikes with divine energy. On your turn, you can cause one successful weapon attack against a creature to deal an extra 1d8 damage of the type dealt by the weapon to the target. When you reach 14th level, the extra damage increases to 2d8.
At 17th level, you can use an action to describe or name a creature that is familiar to you or that you can see within 120 feet. For 24 hours or until the target is dead, whichever occurs first, you have advantage on Wisdom (Survival) checks to track your target and Wisdom (Perception) checks to detect your target. In addition, you have advantage on weapon attack rolls against the target.
You can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest. You may only have one Deadly Stalker target at any given time.
