Path of the Champion FIghting Styles

Dual Wielding

When you take the Attack action while two-weapon fighting, you can make the single bonus attack with your off-hand weapon as part of your Attack action, instead of your bonus action, adding your ability modifier to the damage of this attack. If you do, you cannot use your bonus action to make an additional attack.

Dueling

While you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with it.

Great Weapon Fighting

When you make an attack with a heavy melee weapon as part of your Attack action, you can treat a total roll of 5 or lower on the weapon's damage dice as a 6. You must be wielding the weapon with two hands to benefit from this feature.

Improvised Fighting

You are proficient with improvised weapons. Once per turn, when you use an object to make an improvised weapon attack, you can choose to roll the damage dice twice and take the higher damage roll.
When you do so, the object used to make the improvised attack is destroyed and can not be used for further attaks. You can't use this feature to destroy magical objects.

Protector

When a creature you can see hits you, or a target within 5 feet of you, with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to grant the target a bonus to his or her AC equal to your Fighter Power Reservoir against that attack. You must be wielding a shield to do so. If the attack still hits, the target takes less damage equal to your Fighter Power Reservoir plus 1d4 if you are wielding a buckler, 1d6 if you are wielding a small shield, 1d10 if you are wielding a large shield, or 1d12 if you are wielding a tower shield.

Thrown Weapon Fighting

You can draw a weapon that has the thrown property as part of the attack you make with the weapon. Moreover, when you hit with a ranged weapon attack using a thrown weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll of that attack.

Martial Training

3rd-Level Barbarian (Path of the Champion) Feature

Your combat training has enhanced the potency of your Rage. Your total number of Exploit Dice increases by one. Also, whenever you use a Savage Exploit while Raging, the size of your Exploit Die increases by 1, to a maximum of a d12.

Mighty Blow

6th-Level Barbarian (Path of the Champion) Feature

You can focus the full might of your Rage into a single mighty blow. When you hit a creature with a Strength-based weapon attack while you are Raging, you can instantly end your Rage and turn that attack into an automatic critical hit.
Once you use this feature you must finish a short or long rest before you can do so again.

Invigorating Critical
