Fighter

Fighting Style

You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.   Archery. You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.   Blind Fighting. You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn't behind total cover, even if you're blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you.   Daisho.When you wield a versatile weapon in one hand and a light weapon in your other hand, the versatile weapon gains the light and finesse weapon properties.   Defense. While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.   Dueling. When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon. Duskblade. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list. Neither of the cantrips you choose can have a range greater than 60 feet. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells.   Grappling. When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike or an improvised weapon attack, you can roll a d4 in place of the normal damage, and the target rolls with disadvantage the next time it makes an attack roll, Strength check, or Dexterity check before the end of its next turn.   Great Weapon Fighting. When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.   Harrier. When you hit a creature with an unarmed strike or a melee attack using a weapon that doesn't have the two-handed or heavy property, the creature's speed is reduced by 10 feet until the end of its next turn.   Interception. When a creature you can see hits a target, other than you, within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.   Mobility. As long as you are not wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield, you have a climbing speed equal to your normal speed, and you gain a +1 bonus to AC.   Mounted. While you are mounted, unmounted creatures you hit with weapon attacks can’t make opportunity attacks against you or your mount for the rest of the turn if they are smaller than your mount, and you can re-roll any weapon damage die that rolls a 1. You must use the new roll.   Protection. When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.   Siege Warfare. When you have cover against an attack, and the attack still hits, you have resistance against that attack's damage.   Superior Technique. You learn one maneuver of your choice from among those available to the Battle Master archetype. If a maneuver you use requires your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver's effects, the saving throw DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice.) You gain one superiority die, which is a d6 (this die is added to any superiority dice you have from another source). This die is used to fuel your maneuvers. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest.   Thrown Weapon Fighting. You can draw a weapon that has the thrown property as part of the attack you make with the weapon. In addition, when you hit with a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll.   Two-Weapon Fighting. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.   Unarmed Fighting. Your unarmed strikes can deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier on a hit. If you aren't wielding any weapons or a shield when you make the attack roll, the d6 becomes a d8. At the start of each of your turns, you can deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage to one creature grappled by you.  

Second Wind

You have a limited well of stamina that you can draw on to protect yourself from harm. On your turn, you can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d10 + your fighter level.   Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.  

Action Surge

Starting at 2nd level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On your turn, you can take one additional action.   Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn.  

Martial Archetype

At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate in your combat styles and techniques. The archetype you choose grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level.  

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.  

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.   The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 11th level in this class and to four when you reach 20th level in this class.  

Indomitable

Beginning at 9th level, you can reroll a saving throw that you fail. If you do so, you must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.   You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 13th level and three times between long rests starting at 17th level.  

Warrior of Legend

When you reach 20th level, your combat ability has solidified you as a legend. You gaint two Fighting Styles of your choice.   If a creature hits you with two attacks during its turn, any remaining attacks that the creature makes against you during your turn will automatically miss unless they are rolled with advantage.   Additionally, your combat prowess can overwhelm creatures with a whirlwind of attacks. Once per turn when you hit a creature with four consecutive attacks choose one of the following effects:  
  1. You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage delat by the creature.
 
  • You had advantage on the next savign throw the creature forces you to make.
 
  • Your attacks agaisnt the creature are rolled with advantage.
 
  • You have half cover agaisnt the creature.
 
  • The creature rolls attacks against you with disadvantage.
 
  • The creature loses its reactio until the start of its next turn.
  Unless otherwise specified, the chosen effect lasts until the start of your next turn.
