Fighter Edits

Fighting Styles

At 2nd level, you adopt a particular style of fighting. Choose one of the following options. You cannot choose the same fighting style twice, even if you get to choose again.

Akimbo Shooting. [1] When you take the attack action with a light weapon, you can use a bonus action to make an attack with a light ranged weapon you are holding in your other hand. You do not add your ability score modifier to the damage of this attack, unless that modifier is negative.

Breacher. [1] When you hit with a ranged attack roll, you roll a 1 or 2 on the damage die, you can reroll the damage die and must take the new roll, even if the number is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the scatter property in order to gain this benefit.

Defense. While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Deadeye (Archery Edit) [1]. You get a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with martial and simple ranged weapons, as well as longarms which do not have the bulky or scatter property.

Dueling Edit [1]. When wielding a one-handed weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you get a +2 bonus to your damage rolls with these weapons. This additional damage only applies for ranged attacks made at creatures within 30 feet of you.

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 disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.

Sniper [1]. You gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls if you attack a creature further than 30 feet away from you with a ranged weapon or a firearm that does not have the scatter property.

Throwing [5]. You gain a +2 bonus to ranged attack rolls you make with a thrown weapon. Whenever you make a ranged attack with a thrown weapon, you can immediately draw another weapon as part of the attack.

Two-Weapon Fighting. When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

 

Unarmed [5]. Your unarmed strike uses a d4 for damage. (This benefit has no effect if another feature has already improved your unarmed strike's die.) When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike on your turn you can make one additional unarmed strike as a bonus action.

Phalanx [1]. You can now wield a two-handed melee weapon, heavy crossbow, light crossbow, or a longarm with a shield, but you must use an action to brace the weapon against the shield in order to attack with it. The weapon stays braced in this way as long as you move no more than 10 feet during your turn. The weapon loses any benefits you gain from using it with two hands while braced.

Eldritch Societies

At 3rd level, you join an Eldritch society. Your Eldritch society decides what your Spellcasting Ability, Spellcasting List is and access to their Maneuvers. Gain one of the following choices:

The Arcane Order; a brotherhod of Arcanists who preserve knowledge and enlighten those without it.

The Knights Stygian; terrifying knights who blend necromancy and swordsmanship to become self-sufficient, one-man armies.

The Sylvan Circle; the Druids who choose to take arms against those that would despoil the land.

The Shadow Court; members of powerful, secretive groups who influence the politics of the land.

Eldritch Flair

At 3rd level, you combine and hone both magic and sword craft into a single fighting style. You learn a ritual to inscribe your mark onto a weapon, creating a bond between yourself and one weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The weapon must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the weapon and inscribe the mark.

Once you have marked a weapon, you can’t be disarmed of that weapon unless you are incapacitated. If it is on the same plane of existence, you can summon that weapon as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to teleport instantly to your hand.

In addition, you gain the following benefits based on which fighting styles you have chosen.

The Shadow Court

Magi in the Shadow Court belong to clans of conspirators who have seek to shape local and regional politics as well as wage a clandestine war amongst one another for secrets and objects of power. Although those outside the Eldritch Society know it as a singular group, the Shadow Court is in fact composed of multiple clans that blend stealth, fighting prowess, and magical ability. Magi in the Shadow Court are secretive by nature and are forbidden from revealing their clan’s goals and activities to all but their most trusted companions.

Spellcasting

When you choose this Eldritch Society at 3rd level, you augment your martial prowess with the ability to cast cantrips. This initiation will later influence your magus spellcasting feature.

Cantrips. You learn 2 cantrips of your choice from the Shadow Court’s spell list. You learn an additional cantrip of your choice from the Shadow Court’s spell list at 10th. These cantrips count as magus spells for you.

Spellcasting Focus. You can use an arcane focus (found in chapter 5) as a spellcasting focus for your magus spells.

Spell Points. The Magus Spellcasting table shows how many spell points you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend points of the spell’s level or higher (as seen in the Spell Point Cost Table). You regain all expended spell points when you finish a long rest.

Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher. You know three 1st-level spells of your choice form the Shadow Court's Spell list. The Spells Known column of the Magus Spellcasting table shows when you learn more Magus spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be of a level which you are able to cast. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the Magus spells you know with another spell of your choice from the Shadow Court's spell list. The new spell must be of a level of which you can cast.

Spellcasting Ability. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Shadow Court spells, since you learn your spells through rote study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw for a magus spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC. = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
