Marksman
While all Fighters learn to draw a bow or hurl a javelin, those known Marksmen are masters of ranged combat. The deadly skills of a Marksman are often backed up by their signature swagger and unshakable confidence. When combined, there are few challenges that a true Marksman cannot overcome.
You learn certain Exploits at the Fighter levels noted in the table below. They don't count against your total number of Exploits Known and can't be switched upon gaining a level.
Your training has enhanced your reaction times. When you make a Dexterity check or saving throw, you can expend an Exploit Die and add it to your roll. You can do so after you roll, but before you know the result.
You can quiet your body to fire with deadly accuracy. When you begin your turn and are not surprised or incapacitated, you can choose to enter a state of Focus, which imposes the following benefits and effects until the end of your turn:
Your reflexes are almost supernaturally fast. You add your proficiency bonus to your Initiative rolls while conscious. You have also learned to identify and exploit even the smallest weak points in your enemy's defenses. Your attacks with ranged weapons ignore resistance to piercing damage.
When you use Second Wind, your walking speed increases by 10 feet, and any opportunity attacks against you are made at disadvantage until the end of your current turn.
You make even impossible shots with ease. Your normal and long range for ranged weapon attacks increases by a number of feet equal to 10 times your Fighter level. Also, once per turn, when you have advantage on a ranged weapon attack, you can forgo advantage and make one additional ranged weapon attack.
Your marksmanship is supernaturally accurate. When you Focus, the benefits last for 1 minute, and you have advantage on all ranged weapon attacks for the duration. Finally, your speed is only reduced to 10 feet. At the start of your turn you can end your Focus (no action required).
