### Silent Stalker

Tales abound of Tabaxi hunters capable of bringing down prey far larger than their own body size, and rarely are such stories purely exaggerations. As a member of the Stalkers, you have learned to track your prey in silence, waiting for the opportune moment to strike, you gain a bonus to both your Wisdom (Survival) and Dexterity (Stealth) checks equalling your Jungle Stalker level whenever you are attempting to track or to sneak up on a creature.

### Uncanny Attention

Due to the nature of your hunting style, some times it is necessary to keep an eye on a prey for extended periods of time while waiting for an opening, and as such, you've learned how to both rest and remain watchful at the same time. You gain the ability to take a long rest while staying perfectly awake and alert, though you can only use this feature a number of times equalling your Jungle Stalker level before requiring sleep. If you attempt to use this Feature beyond your limit, you will still remain alert, though you will not receive any resting benefits and will instead gain one level of exhaustion after the long rest.

### Treetop Hunter

Jungle Stalkers make extensive use of their environment to track and sneak up on their prey, and the great trees of their native homes provide excellent cover and vantage points. As a Stalker, your climbing ability is greatly enhanced, effectively increasing your climbing speed to 50 feet per round, and you gain the ability to leap from one vertical surface to another vertical surface within 10 feet of your original position without needing to make any ability or skill checks. Furthermore, you can climb upside-down on ceilings, treating such locations as difficult terrain.

### Apex Predator

Due to your feline features, you are able to muster an explosive burst of power and speed when you pounce into combat. On the first turn of combat, if your Initiative roll was at least a 20, you can act first during this turn (and only this turn) regardless of what anyone else has rolled (unless a creature rolled a natural 20, in which case you would take your turn immediately after them). During this first turn, you have access to a standing leap ability that allows you to leap by up to 10-foot in height and 30-foot in distance, and should you make a melee attack immediately after making this leap, you gain advantage and a +10 bonus to hit on that attack. On a successful hit, you deal extra damage equal to your Character Level and the damage dealt by this attack ignores damage resistances, though not damage immunities. If this leap attack is a natural critical, you also gain an additional Action, though you can only use this Action to make the Attack action.
