Currently I'm a little worried that low levels are a bit feature dense and OP while higher levels are the opposite
Obstructor
Obstructor
Stroking the brand upon his wrist, the grizzled human heightens his senses to track the nearby invisible fey creatures.
Piercing the angel's wing with a javelin, the tiefling weaves magical chains into the attack that bind the angel to ground, making them vulnerable to further attacks.
The elf plunges her fiery claws into the enchanted warrior before her and seizes the usually imperceptible magical tether leading back to the enchantment's source. She sends a pulse of pain along it to wound the mage hidden nearby that was concentrating on the spell.
For some reason or other, obstructors utilise intense training, arcane markings and unrivalled will to oppose powerful beings that would seek to plunder or manipulate the world and its people.
Insightful Hunters
Insightful Hunters
Whether through intense study, hard won experience or just plain intuition, obstructers are masters at understanding their chosen prey. WIP
Stalwart Guardians
Stalwart Guardians
From the mischievous fey to the greedy dragon or the evil vampire lord, some beings and their followers cause no end of trouble in the world. Many obstructors devote themselves to being a line of defence against these troubles, protecting those around them from the inflictions of such foes.

Brand
Brand
At 1st level, you have a brand that signifies your devotion to opposing particular beings. This brand could be self inflicted as part of a ritual or oath, or it may be the result of an event in your life that put you on the path of becoming an obstructor, serving as a reminder of why you fight.
Your choice grants you features at 1st level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.

Your body is bears marks that are reminders or results of your devotion to obstruction.
At 1st level, you gain one mark of devotion of your choice. A list of the available options can be found at the end of class. You gains additional marks at 2nd and 9th level in this class.
You also gain one mark enhancement of your choice at 1st-level, as described under "Mark Enhancements" on each mark of devotion. When you gain certain obstructor levels, you gain additional mark enhancements of your choice, as shown in the Mark Enhancements known column of the Obstructor table. Each enhancement you gain must be for a mark you have. If an enhancement requires a level, you must be the level in this class to learn the enhancement. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the mark enhancements you possess and replace it with another mark that you could learn at that level.
If a mark or an enhancement grants you a spell, Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for that spell. Some mark enhancements require creatures to make saving throws to resist the effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Mark save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier
