Notes
- The beast companions for the Beast Master Ranger all have a passive feature, Prey's Scent, that causes this spell to improve their damage as well when their Ranger casts it.
- The Latin incantations for Hunter's Mark are es praedae mei ("you are my prey") and mors corta ("quick death").
- The damage provided by this spell functions more like Sneak Attack than spell damage; as such, it does not provoke effects that activate on spell damage such as Spellsparkler.
- Only the caster benefits from the extra weapon damage.
