# Path of the Ronin ___ Ronin are masterless warriors who wander the land in search of work, meaning and enlightenment, excelling in unorthodox fighting styles and drawing on their speed to defeat their foes. Having fallen from grace, their rage only brings them more focus and determination. ## Path of the Ronin Features | Barbarian Level | Feature | |:---:|:-----------:| | 3rd | Fighting Style, Warrior's Stride | | 6th | Ronin's Flurry | | 10th | Additional Fighting Style | | 14th | Iaijutsu | ### Fighting Style Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you adopt a particular fighting style 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. ###### Blind Fighting You have blindsight with a range of 10 feet. Within that range, you can effectively see anything that isn't behind total cover, even if you're blinded or in darkness. Moreover, you can see an invisible creature within that range, unless the creature successfully hides from you. ###### Dueling When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapon, you gain a +2 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. ###### Interception When a creature you see hits a target, other than you, within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage from the target by 1d10 + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction. ###### Ranged Fighting You can use Strength instead of Dexterity for the attack and damage rolls of ranged weapons, and features requiring Strength-based melee weapon attacks now also work with Strength-based ranged weapon attacks. \columnbreak ###### Thrown Weapon Fighting You can draw a weapon that has thrown property as part of the attack you make with the weapon. In addition, when you hit with a ranged attack using a thrown weapon, you gain a +2 bonus to the damage roll. ###### Two-Weapon Fighting When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack. ###### Unarmed Fighting Your unarmed strikes deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier on a hit. If you aren't wielding weapons or a shield when you make the attack roll, the d6 becomes a d8. At the start of each of your turns, you can deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage to one creature grappled by you. ### Warrior's Stride At 3rd level, your movement becomes akin to a blast of wind. While raging, you can take the dash or disengage action as a bonus action. ### Ronin's Flurry Starting at 6th level, your foes cannot escape your vigilance. As a bonus action, you can instantly move to a creature of your choice within 60 feet of you that you can see. This movement does not provoke opportunity attacks, and your next weapon attack against this creature deals an additional 2d6 damage on a hit. The damage increases to 3d6 at 10th level, and to 4d6 at 14th level. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all uses when you finish a long rest. ### Additional Fighting Style At 10th level, you can choose a second option from the Fighting Style class feature. ### Iaijutsu Beginning at 14th level, you learn to channel your fury into an ultimate show of force and speed, as a result of your weapon mastery. Once while you are raging as an action, you can choose to make a special weapon attack against a target within reach, and if you hit, you treat it as if four separate attacks were made. If the attack is a ranged attack with a thrown or ranged weapon, you require the use of four ammunitions or thrown weapons to make this special attack.
