damage. This damage is multiplied on a
critical hit.
Way of Steel
At 7th level, you have learned to master
your weapon. The damage modifier for your
first attack each round is doubled if you hit
as long as you are attacking with a melee
two-handed weapon. You also have a +2
bonus to AC when wielding a melee two-
handed weapon.
Surge of Energy
At 10th level, you can use your Second Wind
ability twice per short or long rest instead of
once. Additionally, when you use Second
Wind you also gain resistance to piercing,
bludgeoning and slashing damage from
nonmagical weapons until the start of your
next turn.
Quickened Stances
At 15th level You have advantage on
Initiative checks when you aren't suprised
and may take a stance during the first round
of combat (no action required). In addition,
you may change stances as a reaction.
Iai Strike
Starting at 18th level, you have learned to
cut through anything. Whenever you use
your action surge, your melee two-handed
weapon attacks have advantage until the
end of your turn and score a critical hit on a
roll of 18-20.
 SHIELDMAN
The Shieldman is a fighter archetype that
focuses on fighting with shields. Those who
carry shields are known to have the ability to
resist most damage as if it was nothing, and
defend others against what is coming from
both close and afar. Today a shieldman is the
heavy front line infantry for any army. Due to
them being heavy infantry they are usually
composed entirely of warriors armed with
shields, swords, spears, pikes, or similar
weapons.
Defensive Reflex
Beginning at 3rd level, you can spend your
reaction to add your proficiency bonus to
your AC against melee or range weapon
attacks, and any ally that is 5 ft. behind you
can't be targeted by a melee or range
weapon attack coming from your direction.
You must be wielding a shield to gain this
benefit.
Shield Bash
Beginning at 7th level, you can hit a creature
with your shield as a melee weapon attack
using a bonus action. The shield deals
bludgeoning damage equal to (the shield AC
x d4) and forces a target that is one size
larger than you or smaller to make a
Strength saving throw, DC equal to (8 + your
Strength modifier + your proficiency bonus).
On a failed save, you knock the target prone.
You must be wielding a shield to gain this
benefit.
Wall Barrier
Beginning at 10th level, every ally that is 5
ft. away from you that is wielding a shield
gives you +1 to AC, this stacks to a +3 limit
to AC. You must be wielding a shield to gain
this benefit.
At 13th level, you can stack this ability with
the AC given by Defensive Reflex when
being attacked by a melee or range weapon
attack.
Charging Shield
Beginning at 15th level, you can charge at
an enemy that is within half of your speed
with a Shield Bash ability. On a failed save,
the target is pushed back 5 ft. and knocked
prone. You can use this feature once before
taking a short or a long rest. You must be
wielding a shield to gain this benefit.
Final Stand
Beginning at 18th level, you can gain the
following features for 1 minute:
You gain the benefit of Defensive
Reflex at all times.
You gain advantage to Strength,
Dexterity, and Constitution saving
throws.
You gain the ability to return to 1 HP
after you drop to 0 HP, which
deactivates the Final Stand ability.
You cannot use this ability again until after a
long rest. You must be wielding a shield to
gain this benefit.
 KNIGHT
Martial Archetype: Knight
The knight, also known as the
chevalier or ritter, is the pride of
feudal armies: heavy, disciplined
cavalry whose charge can drive
opponents from the field. However, a
knight is more than a mere soldier; he
also must be a military commander, a
just lord, and a wise manager of his
estate. Many knights take the Inspiring
Leader, Mounted Combatant and
Heavy Armor Master feats.
Tournaments
Knights often compete in tournaments
featuring melees and jousts. A melee
is nothing more than a generalized
unmounted combat and no special
rules are needed for the melee
(although as a matter of custom,
usually melees use nonlethal
damage). Special rules for the joust
are set forth below.
In a joust, two mounted combatants
will charge towards each other with
the intent of dismounting their
opponent. An opponent can be
dismounted through being
incapacitated (doing normal hit point
damage) or by using a special
dismounting attack.
To make a dismounting attack, you
first must successfully strike your
opponent. If you hit, the target makes
a Strength saving throw with a DC
equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your strength modifier + your mounts
strength modifier (but only if you are
proficient in animal handling). If your
target is using a military saddle, they
have advantage on this saving throw
(military saddles are usually prohibited
in tournaments). If you have access to
Trip Attack combat maneuver and you
spend a superiority die, you can do
damage to your opponent (adding the
superiority die to the damage roll) and
your target must make a saving throw
or be dismounted.
Knights Companion
At 3rd level, you can train any
warhorse you own to be a warhorse
companion that accompanies you on
your adventures. Add your proficiency
bonus to the warhorses AC, attack
rolls, and damage rolls, as well as to
any saving throws and skills it is
proficient in. Its hit point maximum
equals its normal maximum or four
times your fighter level, whichever is
higher.
The warhorse obeys your commands
as best as it can. It takes its turn on
your initiative, though it doesnt take
an action unless you command it to.
On your turn, you can verbally
command the warhorse to approach
you, or you can use your knees while
riding to command it where to move
(no action required by you). While
riding it, you can use your action to
command it (using your knees) to take
the Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge,
or Help action. Once you have the
Extra Attack feature, you can make
one weapon attack yourself when you
command the beast to take the Attack
action. In addition, your warhorse can
do a Trampling Charge after your
attack instead of your warhorses
attack (but you must fulfill all the
other conditions and it cannot make
more than one Trampling Charge per
turn regardless). If the warhorse dies
or is lost, you can train another
warhorse with a week of time.
Expert Horseman
At 3rd level you gain proficiency in the
animal handling skill. If you are
already proficient in animal handling,
you gain expertise in animal handling,
i.e. your proficiency bonus is doubled
for ability checks using animal
handling, but only for checks related
to your warhorse companion.
Combat Superiority
Starting at 3rd level, you gain access
to superiority dice and learn
maneuvers like a battle master. You
start with four superiority dice at 3rd
level. You gain another superiority die
at 7th level and one more at 15th
level. Your superiority dice are
normally d6s, but are d10s if you use
them while riding your warhorse
companion.
Exceptional Training
Beginning at 7th level, on any of your
turns when your warhorse doesnt
attack, you can use a bonus action to
command the warhorse to take the
Dash, Disengage, Dodge, or Help
action on its turn.
Improved Combat Superiority
Starting at 10th level, your superiority
dice turn into d8s normally and d12s
while riding your warhorse companion.
At 18th level, they turn into
d10s/d14s, respectively.
 ARCANE ARCHER
The first lesson taught to an Arcane
Archer is how to imbue their tools of war
with magic. Upon gaining this
archetype, you gain the ability to
enhance both your bow and armor. You
must spend an hour to attune yourself
to a bow or a set of armor, and you can
only be attuned to one bow and one set
of armor at a time.
Any time you draw your attuned bow,
you can coalesce an arrow of pure
arcane energy, eliminating the need to
use actual arrows. All arrows fired from
your bow count as magical, and gain a
magical enhancement bonus of one-fifth
your level (round down). This bonus also
cannot exceed your Intelligence
modifier, regardless of your level, and
does not stack with any magical
enhancement bonus already on the
weapon; use whichever modifier is
higher.
When wearing your attuned armor, it
gains the following benefits:
-Any attuned armor set effectively
weighs half as much. Heavy armor
Strength requirements are reduced by
an amount equal to your Intelligence
modifier.
-Your maximum Dexterity bonus to
armor class is one higher than usual in
attuned medium or heavy armor, and
stealth penalties are eliminated.
-An attuned set of light armor can be
magically donned or doffed magically as
a bonus action, or as a reaction to being
attacked. Once you use this ability, you
must take a short or long rest before
using it again.
Spells
An Arcane Archer also learns a very
small number of spells. Pick one Wizard
cantrip and two first-level spells from
the Wizard or Ranger spell list as your
spells known. You start off with two spell
slots, which are first level. Each time
you gain a new feature from this
archetype (at levels 7, 10, 15, and 18),
your number of spell slots and the spell
slot level increases by 1, and you pick
one more spell, which must be from the
Ranger spell list and of a level you can
cast, and add it to your spells known.
Your Intelligence is used for your
spellcasting modifier. You regain all
expended spell slots when you finish a
long rest.
Arcane Warfare
By 7th level, your arcane imbuing has
improved. Choose one of the following
benefits:
Mobility - At any point during your
movement, you can blink 10 feet in any
direction without expending any sort of
action. If you attack immediately after
using this ability, the target must make
a Perception check equal to your spell
save DC. If it fails, you have advantage
on the attack roll.
Range - Your attuned bow's short and
long ranges are tripled.
Skirmish - Attacking with a bow from
melee range does not impart any
disadvantage. You do not provoke
attacks of opportunity from moving
through the threatened area of enemies
you have attacked this turn.
Vision - You gain darkvision to a range
of 60 feet, and ignore the effects of any
cover less than full cover. If you already
have darkvision, its range increases by
60 feet. Finally, you can see and discern
detail out to a range of a quarter mile.
At 1/4 mile distance, you can see detail
as though you are looking at the object
or target from 100 feet away.
Specialty Arrow
At 10th level, you learn to imbue a
special effect into your arrows.
Crippling Arrows - Until the beginning
of your next turn, any target struck by
one of your arrows has its vitality
sapped, and each of these arrows
voraciously seeks out any vital point or
weak spot in its armor. The target's
speed is halved, and if it fails a
Constitution saving throw, it is rendered
vulnerable and all attacks against the
target have advantage until the
beginning of your next turn.
Explosive Arrows - Until the start of
your next turn, all your arrows, whether
they hit or miss, explode in a blast of
elemental energy. With each shot,
choose an elemental damage type: acid,
cold, electricity, fire, force, or poison,
and choose a point of detonation within
your bow's range. Every creature in a
cone 30 feet directly along the arrow's
path beyond the detonation point suffer
the arrow's damage as the chosen
damage type. Each creature can make a
Dexterity save to reduce the damage by
half.
Guided Arrow - By expending one spell
slot as a bonus action, your next shot
against a target you can see ignores all
cover and concealment and line of effect
requirements. The arrow snakes
unerringly around terrain and
obstructions, dodging everything in its
path to strike the target unerringly.
Choose one of the following damage
types: acid, cold, electricity, fire, force,
or poison. The target is automatically
struck for your weapon damage, plus
1d8 per spell level of the spell slot
expended.
Siege Arrow - Until the beginning of
your next turn, all of your arrows
explode with ruinous force. All arrow
damage is converted to bludgeoning
damage and ignore all forms of damage
resistance, and creatures struck must
succeed on a Strength save or be
thrown back 10 feet. Any inanimate
object or structure struck takes triple
damage from one of these arrows.
Web Arrow - Until the beginning of your
next turn, each arrow you fire explodes
in a 10-foot cube of webbing with the
same effects as the Web spell.
Once you use a specialty arrow other
than Guided Arrow, you must finish a
short or long rest before using another.
At 15th level and again at 18th level,
you learn one additional specialty arrow.
Warfare Mastery
At 15th level, you gain an additional
Arcane Specialty from the list gained at
7th level, or an enhanced effect for the
one you already have:
Mobility - Your base speed increases by
10 feet and you can use a bonus action
to take the Dash action. When dashing,
you ignore all magical and nonmagical
terrain restrictions and can run over
water or up vertical surfaces without
falling until the end of your movement.
Range - With vertical clearance of half
the distance to your target, you can fire
volleyed shots that make it difficult for
distant targets to pinpoint your location.
Against enemies further than 100 feet
away, your first shot does not impart a
new chance to spot you. Every shot
after the first gives the enemies a
cumulative +1 bonus to their Wisdom
(Perception) checks against your current
Stealth check.
Skirmish - As a reaction, you can
launch a small arcane flare from your
bow against a target within short range
who attacks a target other than yourself.
The flare is harmless but the target has
disadvantage on its attack roll, and the
dazzling light grants advantage on the
next attack roll against it before the
start of your next turn if it fails a
Wisdom saving throw.
Vision - You can see into the Ethereal
plane and through magical darkness out
to the range of your darkvision.
Master Arrow
Upon reaching 18th level, you can
create a powerful arrow representing the
mastery of your imbuing craft. It takes
four uninterrupted hours of work and
500 gp of materials to create a Master
Arrow, which are consumed at the end
of the creation. One of your spell slots is
permanently disabled until the arrow is
used. Once you fire this arrow, your spell
slot returns on your next long rest, and
you cannot create another Master Arrow
for 1 week.
Gate - Wherever this arrow strikes, a
magical arch 15 feet high and across
springs into existence, and another
matching one appears at a point of your
choosing within 30 feet of your person.
Anyone passing through one of the
portals is instantly transported out of
the other one. You can maintain this
magic gate with Concentration for up to
1 minute.
Spell - Choose one Wizard spell of 5th
level or lower that targets a creature or
area. Firing the arrow unleashes that
spell with the point struck by the arrow
as the originating point of the spell's
effect. A padded arrow can be created to
impart a beneficial spell effect. A spell
that requires an attack roll requires this
arrow to hit for the spell to trigger, or
else it is wasted.
Slaying - Specify a creature type or a
specific type of humanoid. When fired
with killing intent at a creature of this
type, the arrow unerringly strikes its
target, which must make a Constitution
saving throw or suffer 10d6+40 necrotic
damage. A creature reduced to 0 hit
points by this effect dies instantly.
 GUARDIAN
The archetypal Guardian is a master of
defense who puts the well-being of his
allies above all else. Guardians are
resilient and near impenetrable iron
walls that stand in the way of all
opposition while still dealing heavy
damage on the battlefield. It takes more
than your average foe to take these
juggernauts down.
Two-Handed Defense
When you choose this archetype at 3rd
level, you gain the ability to use special
two-handed shields. These shields have
the heavy property and grant a +2 AC
bonus when wielded with one hand. If
you use the shield with both hands it
grants a +4 AC bonus instead, and you
can only move at half your speed.
In addition, you can make attacks with
shields. The damage die you use for this
attack is a d4 and it deals bludgeoning
damage. At 10th level, this increases to
2d4.
Defensive Stance
At 3rd level, as an action you can take
an all-out defensive stance when you're
holding your shield with both hands until
the beginning of your next turn. While
you're in this stance, attacks against
you have disadvantage and you have
resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and
slashing damage. If you are subjected to
an attack that requires you to make a
dexterity saving throw, you may make a
strength saving throw with advantage
instead.
Provoke
Starting at 7th level, you may force all
foes within 30ft to direct their single
target attacks and actions at you as a
bonus action. All targets effected must
make a Wisdom saving throw. The
saving throw DC equals 10 + your
Charisma modifier + your proficiency
bonus. You can use this a number of
times equal to 1 + your Charisma
modifier (minimum 1 time) before
needing to take a short or long rest.
Spell blocker
At 10th level, you create a safe area
within a 15ft cube behind you whenever
you enter your defensive stance. Allies
within this cube add your shield's AC
bonus to dexterity saving throws they
make against spells or other harmful
effects. If they are subjected to an effect
that allows them to make a Dexterity
saving throw to take only half damage,
they take no damage if they succeed on
the saving throw.
In addition, whenever you successfully
block a ranged attack spell you may use
your reaction to attempt to deflect it at
a target. Make an attack roll and add
your proficiency bonus and your
Dexterity modifier to the result.
Undying Protector
Starting at 15th level, whenever you are
the target of an effect that would cause
you to gain hit points, you gain twice
your constitution modifier in hit points
as well and whenever you take a short
rest you automatically recover a number
of hit points equal to twice your level.
Ultimate Shield
At 18th level, you may end your turns in
an ally's space whenever you wish.
When you are within an ally's space you
may add your shield's AC bonus to their
total AC.
In addition, you may enter a defensive
stance as a bonus action instead of an
action. When you enter a defensive
stance you may add your Strength
modifier to your total AC.
 BRUISER
You are an up-close, in-your-face, grim-
and-gritty combatant. A master of
unarmed hand-to-hand combat, ready
to throw down at any time, they are
the typical street thug. They are not
monks with their codes and mysticism.
They don't learn their prowess through
discipline and intense teaching but
through survival of the fittest.
Pugilist
Starting when you choose this
archetype at 3rd level, your
experience with brawling has given
you a mastery of combat styles that
use unarmed strikes and fist weapons.
You gain the following benefits while
you are unarmed or wielding fist
weapons and you aren't wielding a
shield.
You can use Dexterity instead of
Strength for the attack and damage
rolls of your unarmed and fist weapon
attacks.
You can roll d4 in place of the normal
damage of your unarmed strike or fist
weapon. This die increases to d6 at
8th level and d8 at 16th level.
When you use the Attack action with
an unarmed or fist weapon attack on
your turn, you can make one unarmed
strike as a bonus action.

Sucker Punch
At 7th level, you learn how to place
your unarmed attacks for the
maximum impact. Once on each of
your turns when you hit a creature
with an unarmed or fist weapon
attack, you can cause the attack to
deal an extra 1d8 damage to the
target.
Dirty Fighting
At 10th level, you can use your
unpredictable fighting style to make
viscous attacks against your foe.
Whenever you hit a creature with an
unarmed attack or a fist weapon, you
can impose one of the following
effects on the target:
It must make a Dexterity saving
throw or be knocked prone.
It must make a Strength saving
throw. If it fails, you can push it up to
15 feet away from you.
It must make a Constitution saving
throw or be stunned until the end of
your next turn.
The saving throw DC is calculated as
follows: 8 + your proficiency bonus +
your Strength or Dexterity modifier
(your choice).
Counter-Punch
At 15th level, when you take damage
from a creature that is within 5 feet of
you, you can use your reaction to
make an unarmed or fist weapon
attack against that creature.
Opportunist
At 18th level, you can exploit a
creature's momentary distraction
when it is hit by an attack. Whenever
a creature within 5 feet of you is hit by
an attack made by a creature other
than you, you can use your reaction to
make a melee attack against that
creature.
 ANTI MAGE

Please not that balance is not of a concern to us, since we're hyper-casual and want
to do cool things in the few times we get together. So it may need tweaks to be
brought in line.

Spellbreak
Starting at 3rd level, you gain a charge of Spellbreak anytime a spell is cast within
15 feet of you. Spellbreak charges are used to cast spells and enhance your natural
abilities. You use Charisma as your spellcasting ability.

You lose half of your Spellbreak charges after a short rest and all of your Spellbreak
charges after a long rest.
Know Thy Enemy: At 7th level you gain proficiency in Arcana if you do not already
have it. If you are already proficient, you gain Expertise in it instead, applying
double your proficiency bonus to Arcana skill checks.

In addition, you gain the Mage Slayer feat if you do not already have it. If you
already have it, you may take your Ability Score Improvement instead.

Magekiller
Starting at 10th level, you add the spellcasting ability mod of enemies you attack to
the attack and damage rolls against them.

Spellbreaker
Starting at 15th level, when you have 10 or more charges of Spellbreak, all attacks
and spells targeting you have disadvantage.

Templar Resistance
At 17th level, you can become nearly immune to magical attacks, gaining resistance
to all damage from enemy spells and ongoing magical effects as long as you have 5
or more charges of Spellbreak.
 KENSAI

While others may devote themselves to strengthening their body to inhuman levels,
leading a thousand men in mass combat, or in the subtle and deliberate arts of magic,
the kensai has chosen to devote himself to perfecting his techniqe, and the will that
guides it. By harnessing the mystical power of Ki, he turns himself into a perfectly

 GREATBOWMAN

These men have felt the desire to move beyond a normal longbow. They wield a
gargantuan bow used by ancient dragon slayers. The bow stands over six feet end to
end, and requires immense strength to fire. Few are able to master this powerful
weapon, but those who do clearly see the product of their hard work.

GREATBOWMAN
Starting at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with the
greatbow

IMPROVED CRITICAL BANE OF THE WINGED

At 7th level, you're practice with your bow has
increased your accuracy. Your weapon now scores a
critical hit on a 19 or 20.

At 10th level, you are a master with the greatbow.
You no longer need to plant the bow into the ground.
At 15th level, your draw arm has gained the strength
of 10 men. Your Strength increases by 1. This
strength allows you to shoot flying creatures out of
the air. When you hit a flying creature, it's flying
speed is reduced to 0 for a number of turns equal to
your Strength modifier. A target hit on the ground is
knocked back 10 feet and is prone.
NO EQUAL MARKSMAN
At 18th level, you have become the pinnacle that all
archers wish to become. You gain a +2 to attack rolls
and a +1 to damage rolls.

Greatbow
Martial Ranged
500gp
1d12 piercing
25 lbs CAVALIER
Ammunition (60/240), Heavy, Two-handed
This weapon uses Strength for damage rolls
and Dexterity for attack rolls. It uses javelins
rather than arrows for ammunition. A strength
score of 15 or higher is necessary to wield this
weapon. It must be planted in the ground for it
to fire without disadvantage.

Representing the ultimate in mounted warfare, the cavalier is the quintessential knight
in shining armor. The charge of the cavalier is amongst the most devastating offensive
weapons any culture can hope to field. Most cavaliers belong to the upper social class or
nobility of a society, though others work their way through a painfully long squireship to
attain their position. The cavalier dedicates their life to the service of a higher authority
such as a noble or sovereign, a deity, a military or religious order, or even a special
cause. There is a hereditary honor that comes from the price of lifelong service to their
monarch, country or other object or entity. The cavalier is expected to participate in any
wars or other armed conflict in which their lord or cause is engaged. Cavaliers in service
to other nobles often serve their masters beyond the battlefield as well, performing
such duties as their skills and their noble lord see fit. The cavalier often pursues such
selfless goals as the eradication of evil and chaos from the world, and justice for all the
subjects of their lands. Others are pure mercenaries and sell their grand martial talents
to the highest bidder. Others can be bullies and braggarts who use their station, status
and privilege to pursue only their own selfish self-aggrandizement.
Mount
At 3rd level, you gain a faithful mount
companion that accompanies you on your
adventures and is trained to fight
alongside you. Choose an appropriate
mount (horse, camel, elf, mastiff, bear,
etc.) that is of one size category larger
than yourself and that has a Challenge
Rating of 1 or lower. Add your proficiency
bonus to the mount's AC,
attack rolls, and damage rolls, as well as
to any saving throws and skills it is
proficient in. Its hit point maximum equals
its normal maximum or four times your
fighter level, whichever is greater.
The mount obeys your commands as best
it can. It takes its turn on your initiative,
though it doesn't take an action unless
you command it to. On your turn, you can
signal the mount where to move (no
action required by you). You can use your
action to verbally command it to take the
Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge or Help
action. Once you have the Extra Attack
feature, you can make one weapon attack
yourself when you command the mount to
take the Attack action.
If the mount dies, you can obtain a new
one by spending 8 hours bonding with a
new mount you acquire that isn't hostile to
you.
At 15th level, your expertise with animals
has allowed you to mount animals with a
Challenge Rating of 3.
Lance Master
At 4th level, your training with a lance has
exceeded that of a normal soldier. Every
time you deal damage with a lance, add
an extra d8. Every 4 levels after level 4,
add another d8.
TWO AS ONE
At 7th level, you have achieved a
symbiotic relationship with your mount in
combat creating an instinctive bond with it
that allows you to fight as a seamlessly
unit. This advanced training allows you
several benefits:
* When mounting your companion,
it costs only 5 feet of movement
and you can perform a dismount as
a bonus action.
* Your stability in the saddle grants
you advantage on the saving
throws made to avoid being
dismounted. Additionally, you may
use either Dexterity or Strength to
make this saving throw.
* Your advanced bond with your
mount also allows you to verbally
command your mount to take the
Attack, Dash, Disengage, Dodge or
Help action as a bonus action.
MOUNTED CHARGE
Starting at 10th level, your bond and
training with your mount has improved
your ability to be a devastating presence
on the field of battle. When you use your
bonus action to command your mount to
Dash while you are mounted and wielding
a melee weapon, you can use your action
to make one melee weapon attack. If you
move at least 20 feet in a straight line
immediately before taking this attack
action, you gain a +10 bonus to the
attack's damage roll if the weapon is a
lance or a +5 bonus for all other melee
weapons. Additionally, you push the target
up to 10 feet away from you.
FEROCIOUS CHARGE
Beginning at 15th level, when making a
mounted charge, your charge is so fierce
and forceful that you no longer provoke
Opportunity Attacks when leaving your
Foe's reach. Additionally, your training in
charged lance combat has improved
greatly and you now score a critical hit
with a lance on a roll of 19 or 20.
MASTER EQUESTRIAN
At 18th level, you have mastered your
instinctual fighting bond with your mount,
each being able to sense the other's
needs and danger sense. You gain the
following features when mounted on your
faithful companion. The benefits extend to
both you and your mount.
Evasion. Your expert riding skills allows
you to control your mounts natural agility
to nimbly dodge out of the way of certain
area effects, such as a red dragons fiery
breath or a lightning bolt spell. When you
are subjected to an effect that allows you
to make a Dexterity saving throw to take
only half damage, you instead take no
damage if you succeed on the saving
throw, and only half damage if you fail.
Uncanny Dodge. When an attacker that
you can see hits you with an attack, you
can use your reaction to halve the attacks
damage against you.
Veteran
Archetype Type

Martial Archetype (Fighter)

The veteran is the heroic everyman. He uses skill, guts, and determination to excel in a
world of mages and monsters. He is a different take on a simple fighter, with no
additional resource tracking but more tactical choice and options during play. This is the
dnd version of malcolm reynolds from firefly, not the toughest, fastest, smartest, or
most charismatic, but well rounded with a solid grounding in pragmatic experience and
sheer stubbornness. The archetype lends itself to multiple different builds, sword and
board, sentinel, or skillmonkey warrior, to name a few.

Archetype Feature

Warrior Poet
From 3rd level onward, you may add half your proficiency bonus (rounded down)
to any Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma check that doesn't already use your
proficiency bonus.

Furthermore, you may attempt to escape a grapple or stand up from prone as a
bonus action.

At 15th level, whenever you use your Action Surge to take the Dash action, you
may make a Shove attempt against any number of creatures with 5 feet of you,
and against any creature you move to within 5 feet of before the end of your
turn. You may only Shove any given creature once per turn this way. You may
choose not to Shove some creatures, such as your allies. (Recommend allowing
fighters with this ability to use the Shove Aside option on page 272 of the DMG,
though this is not required).

Archetype Feature

Iron Will
Upon reaching 18th level, you may add half your proficiency bonus to any saving
throw that doesn't already use your proficiency bonus. Furthermore, whenever
you use Indomitable you now automatically pass your saving throw, instead of
rerolling.
Weaponmaster
Archetype Type

Martial Archetype (Fighter)

Due to huge amounts of training and some natural talent, your chosen weapon has
become a metaphorical extension of your body. While you can use any weapon to some
degree, your skill with a certain class of arms is outmatched.

overpowered/underpowered for their level, and feel free to comment.

crossbow, the attack deals extra damage equal to half your proficiency bonus,

Dragon Adherent
Archetype Type

Martial Archetype (Fighter)

This is my adaptation of a Dragon Shaman (which in its original form is more warrior
class than anything). For use in a campaign where dragons are a central theme.

Empires crumble, eons pass, and even gods wither and die, but dragons remain. Mortal
but eternal, the races of true dragons weather the roll of the ages because of their
unsurpassed might. Dragon adherents recognize this fact and see dragons as more than
powerful beings. To dragon adherents, the passing shadow of a dragon flying overhead
isnt a sign that invokes fear, but a blessing that reveals them to be in the presence of
greatness. Dragon adherents respect dragons as power incarnate. Some worship
dragons while others simply aspire to gain draconic power for themselves. In training in
their unique abilities from draconic tutelage or other adherents, they seek to emulate
draconic might and embody that power themselves. (D&D 3.5 PHB2)

Archetype Feature

BREATH WEAPON
Starting at 3rd level, you are gifted with the breath weapon of a dragonborn and
can use your action to exhale destructive energy. Choose a breath weapon type
from those listed below. If you are dragonborn, you must choose the same breath
weapon as your species breath weapon.

When you use your breath weapon, each creature in the area of the exhalation
must make a saving throw, the type of which is determined by your choice of
breath weapon. The DC for this saving throw equals 8 + your Wisdom modifier +
your proficiency bonus. A creature takes 2d6 damage on a failed save, and half
as much damage on a successful one. The damage increases to 3d6 at 6th level,
4d6 at 11th level, and 5d6 at 16th level.

After you use your breath weapon, you can't use it again until you complete a
short or long rest. If you are dragonborn, you may use your breath weapon twice
before completing a short or long rest.
 BREATH WEAPONS
Damage Type.....Breath Weapon
Acid.................5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save)
Cold................15 ft. cone (Con. save)
Fire.................15 ft. cone (Dex. save)
Lightning...........5 by 30 ft. line (Dex. save)
Poison..............15 ft. cone (Con. save)

Archetype Feature

DRACONIC AURA
Beginning at 7th level, you can channel the mighty powers of dragonkind to
project an aura that grants you and nearby allies a special benefit. Choose one
aura known from those detailed below. You gain a new aura known at 10th, 13th,
16th and 19th levels.

You and friendly creatures within 10 feet of you gain the benefits of your chosen
draconic aura. The aura remains in effect until you use a bonus action to dismiss
it or you activate another aura in its place, until you become unconscious or until
someone exits the aura's area of effect.

Note that while auras cannot be disrupted like a spell, you cannot hold the focus
necessary to maintain a concentration spell while you have an aura active. You
can simultaneously project a second aura at 13th level and a 3rd aura at 19th
level.

At 18th level, the range of your draconic auras increases to 30 feet.

of affected creatures. All affected creatures gain advantage on Charisma checks.
* Draconic Resistance. This aura grants all affected creatures resistance
against the energy type of your breath weapon.
* Draconic Senses. This aura boosts the physical and metaphysical senses of
affected creatures. All affected creatures gain advantage on Wisdom checks.
* Draconic Shield. This aura creates a shimmering shield of energy around
affected creatures. Whenever a creature within 5 feet of someone affected by
 this aura hits an affected creature with a melee attack, the shield erupts with
energy . The attacker takes 2d8 damage of the same type as your breath
weapon.
* Draconic Toughness. This aura creates a shimmering field that boosts the
physical defenses of affected creatures, granting a +2 bonus to AC.
* Draconic Vigor. This aura boosts the sheer physical presence of affected
creatures. All affected creatures within the aura at the beginning of an encounter,
or when entering the aura for the first time during an encounter, gain 2d6
temporary hit points. These temporary hit points are lost immediately if the
affected creature is no longer within the aura. Additionally, all affected creatures
in the aura gain advantage on Constitution checks.

Archetype Feature

DRACONIC ADAPTATION
Starting at 10th level, you take on some environmental aspects of a dragon.
Moving through nonmagical difficult terrain costs you no extra movement. You
can also pass through nonmagical plants without being slowed by them and

mode of respiration) and can freely use spells and other abilities underwater.

Archetype Feature

frightful presence of dragons. In addition, you gain advantage on all saving
throws against spells and have resistance against the damage of spells.

Archetype Feature

DRACONIC SOUL
Beginning at 18th level, you can channel the dread presence of a dragon,
generating an aura of visceral fear in your foes. As an action, you generate this
aura of fear for 1 minute or until you lose your concentration (as if you were
concentrating on a spell). Each enemy creature within 30 feet of you must
succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or drop whatever it is they are holding and
become frightened for 1 minute. While frightened, a creature must take the Dash
action and move away from you by the safest available route on each of its turns,
unless there is nowhere to move. If the creature ends its turn in a location where
it doesn't have line of sight to you, the creature can make a Wisdom saving
throw. On a successful save, the frightened condition ends for that creature.

Once you have used this feature, you can't do so again until you have completed
a short or long rest.

Mythic Hero
Archetype Type

Martial Archetype (Fighter)

The Mythic Hero is an attempt to capture the superpowered, epic feel of a warrior of
myth and legend like Hercules, Cu Chulainn, or Beowulf, without requiring you to play a
character with magical spells. At the same time, the intent is to keep its mechanical
power level in line with other fighter subclasses. It gains abilities that use Hero Points,
which work a lot like a battlemaster's expertise dice except they only recharge on a long
rest. Their effects scale with fighter level so that at level 3, you are gaining minor
bonuses approximately parallel to a first-level spell, while by level 18, the effects of
these powers are closer to a 4th-level spell. I tried to use the Eldritch Knight as a
general guideline here: for example, a mythic hero using the Inhuman Strength ability to
toss a wagon across the room can deal 10d6 damage to a 15x15 area with it, while the
Eldritch Knight can fireball a (much larger) 20ft radius for 8d6. Each power that you
choose also comes with a passive benefit, which helps ensure that the character feels
uniquely powerful even when not making use of his hero points.

Mythic Hero
The Mythic Hero is a fighter whose prowess goes beyond the mundane. He may lack the
honed skill of the champion and the battlefield training of the battlemaster, but he
makes up for it with surges of raw power and speed that go beyond what any mere
mortal can achieve. Some mythic heroes gain their power from divine or other powerful
ancestry, like Hercules; others are normal mortals with a destiny that raises them above
their peers.

Archetype Feature

Heroic Virtues
When you choose (or are chosen for) this archetype at 3rd level, you learn heroic
Virtues that passively improve your character and also enable you to perform
specific actions that are fueled by special points known as Hero Points. The power
of these addition actions is improved as your fighter level increases.
Virtues.You learn Act of Valor and two other virtues of your choice, which are
detailed under "Virtues" below. You learn an additional virtue at levels 7, 10, and
15.
Hero Points.You start with three hero points, which are expended when you use
them. You regain all your expended hero points when you finish a long rest. You
gain another hero point at levels 7, 10, 15 and 18.
Saving Throws.Some of your virtues allow you to perform actions that require
your target to make a saving throw to resist their effects. The saving throw DC is
calculated as follows:
Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or
Dexterity modifier (your choice)
Archetype Feature

Once and Future Hero

Starting at level 15, your legend makes you immortal. Once per month, when you
die, you return to life three days later at the site of your death.

Archetype Feature

Heroic Virtues
The heroic virtues are presented in alphabetical order.

Act of Valor. Before or after you roll a Strength (Athletics), Constitution, or

Dexterity (Acrobatics) check, you may spend a Hero Point to add your fighter
level to that check.

Bounding Strides. Your maximum jump distance and height is doubled. In

addition, you may spend a Hero Point to leap 30 feet high and long as your
movement. This distance increases to 60ft at level 7, 90ft at level 10, 120ft at
level 15, and 200ft at level 18. You take no falling damage and draw no
opportunity attacks when performing this jump.

Destructive Wrath. You ignore the damage resistance of inanimate objects

when intentionally dealing damage to them. In addition, you may spend a Hero
Point to double that damage for one minute. At level 7 the damage is tripled, at
level 10 it is quadrupled, at level 15 it is quintupled, and at level 18 you deal 10
times normal damage to inanimate objects when using this ability.

Fleet-footed. Your base speed increases by 5ft. In addition, you may spend a
Hero Point to increase your speed by another 10ft for one minute (or until you are
incapacitated). The speed bonus increases to 20ft at level 7, 30ft at level 10, 40ft
at level 15, and 60ft at level 18. Starting at level 10 you can walk over water and
other liquids, and starting at level 15 you can walk on clouds or other mist
(assuming there is a continuous area of vapor to walk across); however, you fall if
you end your movement not on solid ground.

Frightful Countenance. You have advantage on Charisma (Intimidate) and

Charisma (Persuade) checks made against anyone who has seen you in battle. In
addition, you can use a bonus action and spend a Hero Point to terrify all enemies
within 5 feet of you, forcing them to make a Wisdom saving throw or be
frightened until the end of their next turn. This range is extended to 10 feet at
level 7, 20 feet at level 10, 30 feet at level 15, and 60 feet at level 18. Starting at
level 15, the creature must make a Wisdom saving throw at the end of its next
turn to end the fear effect. Starting at level 18, any creature that fails its saving
throw by 5 or more faints, instantly falling unconscious as per the Sleep spell.
Inhuman Strength. Your lifting and carrying capacity is doubled. In addition,
you may spend a Hero Point to lift and carry any creature of object of Medium
size or smaller, regardless of weight; you must successfully grapple an unwilling
creature to pick it up. As a bonus action that turn you may throw it up to 30 feet,
dealing 2d6 damage to the object itself and anything it lands on (Dexterity save
for half damage). This damage increases to 4d6 at level 7, 6d6 at level 10, 8d6 at
level 15, 10d6 at level 15, and 12d6 at level 18. Starting at level 7 the creature
or object may be of Large size, and starting at level 15 it may be of Huge size.

Jagged Soul. You have advantage on saving throws against fear effects. In
addition, when you succeed on a Wisdom, Intelligence or Charisma saving throw
incurred by a creature, you may use your reaction to spend a Hero Point to force
that creature to make a Wisdom saving throw or else be frightened of you until
the end of your next turn. At level 7, the creature must make a Wisdom saving
throw at the end of each of your turns, and the fear effect does not end until it
succeeds. At level 10, the creature that fails its save by 5 or more is stunned
instead of afraid. At level 15, it dies if it fails three saving throws. At level 18, you
may also spend a Hero Point to add your proficiency bonus to any intelligence,
wisdom, or charisma saving throw you are not proficient in.

Steely Gaze. You gain advantage on Perception checks to see objects in the
distance. In addition, you may spend a Hero Point to spot hidden or obscured
creatures and objects around you. At level 7 you can use this ability to see
through mundane disguises, at level 10 you can see through illusion, at level 15
you can see the true form of transmuted and other shape-shifted objects and
creatures, and at level 18 you can discern the origin, history, and general abilities
of a creature or object with a single glance.
