- Dueling: While you are wielding a single melee weapon you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
- Protection: You can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on an attack roll that would hit an allied creature within 5ft of you being targeted by a creature you can see. If the attack hits anyways, you reduce the damage of the attack by an amount equal to your proficiency bonus + your shield AC bonus.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.

Combat Superiority
As a 2nd level fighter you learn maneuvers that can be used in combat to control the tides of battle.
Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver’s effects, calculated as:
Maneuver save DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice)
Superiority. You have three uses of superiority. You expend a use of superiority when you use a Maneuver. You gain one more usage of superiority when you reach 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th levels respectively. When you take a short or long rest you regain all expended uses of Superiority.
Fighter Maneuvers
You learn two maneuvers of your choice, which are listed in the Fighter Maneuver list. The full list of maneuvers is detailed at the end of the fighter section.
Your Class allow you some maneuvers, and your Martial Archetype will let you choose from an expanded list of maneuvers when you learn a maneuver, which are listed in the Archetype Maneuver list. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one maneuver per turn.
You learn one additional maneuver of your choice at 3rd level, and two additional maneuvers of your choice at 7th, 10th and 15th level. You can replace one maneuver you know for a different one each time you gain new maneuvers or level up.
Martial Archetype
At 3rd level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate in your combat styles and techniques. The archetype you choose grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1, or you can take a Feat from the Feat List. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 11th level in this class and to four when you reach 20th level in this class.
Martial Superiority
Also at 5th level, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19-20.
Indomitable
Beginning at 9th level, you can reroll a saving throw that you fail. If you do so, you must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.
You can use this feature twice between rests starting at 13th level and three times between rests starting at 17th level.
Improved Martial Superiority
At 11th level you learn a second Fighting Style from the Fighter list.
Masterful Martial Superiority
At 20th level you are a master of martial combat. You score critical hits on a roll of 18-20.
