Hunter's Mark -Added a shout animation to the shout component (free action) of Hunter's mark. -Removed the "IsSpell" flag to the shout component (free action) of Hunter's mark. This prevents enemies from using counterspell on the free action.

Passives Improved: -Bounty Hunter now increases the AOE damage of hail of thorns by your proficiency bonus (I believe this also helps nerf enemies with the spell in the early game). -Keeper of the Veil now grants +1 to attack rolls against creatures tagged Fiend, Aberration, Celestial, Elemental or Fey. Proficiency bonus changed to Insight, since Mage breaker already grants Arcana. -Mage Breaker now grants +1 to saving throws against spells. -Sanctified Stalker now grants resistance to radiant damage. -Ranger Knight now grants +1 to initiative rolls. -Urban Tracker now increases your movement speed by 5ft.
