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.
• Defense: While you are wearing armour, you gain a +1 bonus to AC and Blind AC.
• Dueling: When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons (except shields and fencing daggers), you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
• 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.
• 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 −4 on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.
• Two-Weapon Fighting: When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the off-hand weapon attack.

Combat Manoeuvres

Beginning at first level, you gain the ability to make combat manoeuvres. You can make a number of combat manoeuvres equal to ½ × (1 + your man-at-arms level) before needing to complete a rest.

• Bait and Switch: When you are within 5 feet of a Medium or smaller creature on your turn, you can use a bonus action to switch places with that creature, provided you spend at least 5 feet of movement and the creature is willing and isn't incapacitated.
• Brace: When a creature you can see moves into the reach you have with the melee weapon you're wielding, you can use your reaction to make one attack against the creature, using that weapon.
• Crippling Strike: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can attempt to cripple the target. The target must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 6 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency modifier). On a failed save, the target's move speed is halved until they finish a rest.
• Disarming Strike: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can attempt to disarm the target, forcing it to drop one item of your choice that it's holding. The target must make a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency modifier). On a failed save, it drops the object you choose. The object lands at its feet.
• Distracting Strike: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can distract the creature, giving your allies an opening. The next attack roll against the target by an attacker other than you is made with +5 if the attack is made before the start of your next turn.
• Feint: You can use a bonus action on your turn to feint, choosing one creature within 5 feet of you as your target. You gain +5 to your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your turn.
• Goading Strike: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can attempt to goad the target into attacking you. The target must make a Willpower saving throw (DC 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency modifier). On a failed save, the target suffers -4 to all attack rolls against targets other than you until the end of your next turn.
• Grappling Strike: Immediately after you hit a creature with a melee attack on your turn, you can try to grapple the target as a bonus action with a +3 to your check.
• Lunging Strike: When you make a melee weapon attack on your turn, you can increase your reach for that attack by 5 feet.
• Menacing Strike: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can attempt to frighten the target. The target must make a Willpower saving throw saving throw (DC 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency modifier). On a failed save, it is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
• Parry: When another creature damages you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage by 1d8 + your Agility modifier.
• Precision Strike: When you make a weapon attack roll against a creature, you can add 1d8 to the roll. You can use this maneuver before or after making the attack roll, but before any effects of the attack are applied.
• Pushing Strike: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can attempt to drive the target back. If the target is Large or smaller, it must make a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your Strength modifier + your proficiency modifier). On a failed save, you push the target up to 15 feet away from you.
• Quick Toss: As a bonus action, you can make a ranged attack with a weapon that has the thrown property. You can draw the weapon as part of making this attack.
• Riposte: When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the creature.

Starting at first 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 rest before you can use it again.

Stability
