Martial's Mighty Modification

Thank

You

First I would like to thank everyone who aided me with this endever, without them I would'nt have thought about the additions and tweaks they provided.

This goal of this was to boost Martial classes as measure of bridging the gap between the Martial Caster disparity through an added element of customizability.

Martial Progression

Just as with Spellcasting, you add your levels together if you multiclass, so long as the classes still progress the chart.

Your Martial Progression is determined by adding together all your levels in a full martial class (Barbarian, Fighter, Rogue, Monk), and half your levels (rounded up) in the Paladin and Ranger classes for determining your martial progression.

Depending on the circumstance, you may wish to allow certain artificer subclasses, such as the Battle Smith and Armorer, to qualify for 1/2 progression as well.

Any other martial-inclined subclasses, such as cleric domains with the Divine Strike feature, bladesingers and others simply gain the Martial Adept feat the first time they reach 5th level.

Martial Adept Feat

You have martial training that allows you to perform special combat maneuvers. You gain the following benefits:

You learn three maneuvers of your choice from among those available in page 74 of the PHB. If a maneuver you use requires your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver's effects, the saving throw DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice).
You gain two superiority dice, which are a d6 (they are added to any superiority dice you have from another source), they are used to fuel your maneuvers.

A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest.

Combat Adept Feat

Prerequisite: Martial Adept Feat or Martial Level 5

You have trained enough to learn a special combat technique, you gain the following:

Increase your Strength by 1, to a maximum of 20.
You acquire a Combat Knack that are available to the full martial classes.

Whenever you reach a level that grants an Ability Score Improvement, you can choose the Knack you know and replace it with another that you could learn at that level. This replacement represents a shift of focus in your martial practice.

If you acquire this feat with no Martial levels at all, you only qualify for Martial Level 3 Knacks with this feat.

Martial Maneuvers

Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one maneuver per attack.

Maneuvers You have an amount of Martial Maneuvers as exhibited on the Martial Progression table, the maneuvers are found in page 74 of the PHB.

Superiority Dice The amount of superiority dice are displayed on the Martial Progression table. These dice are d6s, the superiority die is expended when you use it, and you regain all expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest.

Saving Throws. Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice)

If you use a different modifier for your attack and damage rolls (e.g. from Battle Ready feature from Battle Smith Artificer or shillelagh cantrip) you may use that ability modifier, instead of your Strength or Dexterity, to calculate your Maneuver save DC.

Improved Superiority Dice

At Martial level 8 , your superiority dice go up by one step; from a d6 to a d8, at Martial level 15 it goes from a d8 to a d10.

If you have additional superiority dice such as the Battle Master's additional dice, Martial Adept Feat or Superior Technique they are counted towards your superiority dice improvement.

Focused Critical

At Martial level 2 , you score critical hits more frequently with weapon attacks (including unarmed strikes); you now score a critical hit on an attack roll of 19 or 20 (you still automatically hit only on a natural 20 roll).

The feature improves as you gain levels in your Martial Progression; at Martial level 5 your weapon attack rolls score a critical hit on an roll of 18 or higher, at Martial level 8 your weapon attack rolls also score a critical hit on an roll of 17 or higher, at Martial level 11 it becomes 16 or higher, at Martial level 14 it is a roll of 15 or higher and finally at Martial level 17 your weapon attack rolls score a critical hit on an roll of 14 or higher.

Combat Knacks

Once you reach Martial level 3 , you acquire Combat Knacks, you gain additional Knacks every two martial levels.

Moreover, when you gain a Knack, you can choose one of the Knacks you know and replace it with another that you could learn at that level.

Extra Attack on Extra Attack

In the event of multiclassing with classes that have the same martial class feature such as Fighters and Rangers Extra Attack or Monks and Rogues Evasion, these repeated features do not add together, instead one copy of the feature is replaced for a Combat Knack the Character qualifies for.

New Actions

The following features are available to all characters by default:

Challenge

As a bonus action, you issue a challenge that compels other creatures to do battle with you.

Each creature of your choice that you can see within 30 feet of you must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature can't willingly move more than 30 feet away from you. This effect ends on the creature if you are incapacitated or die or if the creature is more than 30 feet away from you.

(Oath of the Crown Paladin Channel Divinity Champion Challenge replaced with (UA) Protection Domain's Radiant Defense Channel Divinity)

Challenge save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Charisma modifier (your choice)

Cleaving Through Creatures

When a melee attack reduces a ~~undamaged~~ creature to 0 hit points, any excess damage from that attack ~~might~~ carries over to another creature nearby. The attacker targets another creature within reach and, if the original attack roll ~~can~~ hits, it applies any remaining damage to it. If that creature ~~was undamaged and~~ is likewise reduced to 0 hit points, repeat this process, carrying over the remaining damage until there are no valid targets, or until the damage carried over fails to reduce an undamaged creature to 0 hit points.

Source: DMG, page 272

Taunt

As a bonus action, you attempt to taunt a creature into attacking you.

One creature that you can see within range must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the creature is drawn to you, irritated by your taunt.

It has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you, and must make a Wisdom saving throw each time it attempts to move to a space that is more than 30 feet away from you; if it succeeds on this saving throw, this taunt doesn't restrict the target's movement for that turn. This effect ends on the creature if you are incapacitated or die or if the creature is more than 30 feet away from you. (Compelled Duel spell removed)

Taunt save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Charisma modifier (your choice)

Grappling Changes

When you want to grab a creature or wrestle with it, you can use the Attack action to make a special melee attack, a grapple. If you’re able to make multiple attacks with the Attack action, this attack replaces one of them. The target of your grapple must be no more than one size larger than you and must be within your reach.

Grappling a Creature. Using at least one free hand, you try to seize the target by making a grapple check instead of an attack roll: a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the target’s Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to use). If you succeed, you subject the target to the grappled condition (see Conditions) .

The condition specifies the things that end it, and you can release the target whenever you like (no action required).

Attacking a Grappled Creature. You have advantage on attack rolls against a creature you are grappling.

(Grappler feat removed)

Escaping a Grapple. A grappled creature can use its action to escape. To do so, it must succeed on a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check contested by your Strength (Athletics) check.

Moving a Grappled Creature. When you move, you can drag or carry the grappled creature with you, but your speed is halved, unless the creature is two or more sizes smaller than you.

Pinning a Grappled Creature. You can use your action to try to pin a creature grappled by you. To do so, make another grapple check. If you succeed, until the grapple ends you and the creature are both restrained (see Conditions) .

(Grappler feat removed)

Spell's Components

Material (M) Adjustment

Casting some spells requires particular objects, specified in parentheses in the component entry. A character can use a component pouch or a spellcasting focus in place of the components specified for a spell. But if a cost is indicated for a component, a character must have that specific component before he or she can cast the spell.

If a spell states that a material component is consumed by the spell, the caster must provide this component for each casting of the spell.

A spellcaster must have a hand free to access a spell's material components or to hold a spellcasting focus. ~~—but it can be the same hand that he or she uses to perform somatic components.~~

You're wondering why even do this?

Well forcing casters to have to use both hands does a few things, It reduces the Armor Class cheese that Power gamers do with their dependency on shields and Medium Armor, It lets Warcaster and other worn items or weapons that count as a spellcasting focus to matter far more, Finally it makes more sense to me.

Two weapon fighting changes

Two-Weapon Fighting. When you take the Attack Action and Attack with a light melee weapon that you’re holding in one hand, you can use a Bonus Action to attack with a different light melee weapon that you’re holding in the other hand.

You have Two Hands. When you take the Attack action with an unarmed strike on your turn, you can make one additional unarmed strike as a bonus action.

Built-in Maneuvers within Weapons

Certain Weapons come with certain Maneuvers.

Disarming. 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. On a failed save, it drops the object you choose. The object lands at your feet.

Goading. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can attempt to goad the target into attacking you. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on all attack rolls against targets other than you until the end of your next turn.
Grappling. Immediately after you hit a creature with a melee attack on your turn, you can try to grapple the target as a bonus action (see the Player's Handbook for rules on grappling and General actions).
Lunging. When you make a melee weapon attack on your turn, you can increase your reach for that attack by 5 feet.
Menacing. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can attempt to frighten the target. The target must make a Wisdom saving throw. 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 your Proficiency Bonus + your Dexterity modifier.
Pushing. 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. 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.
Sweeping. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can attempt to damage another creature with the same attack. Choose another creature within 5 feet of the original target and within your reach. If the original attack roll would hit the second creature, it takes damage equal to the same damage roll without ability modifier. The damage is of the same type dealt by the original attack.
Trip. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can attempt to knock the target down. If the target is Large or smaller, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you knock the target prone.

Creating a weapon from scratch

Step one is it a Simple or Martial weapon?

The size of the weapons damage die starts at 1d6 for Simple weapons while Martial weapons start at 1d8.

What properties does the weapon have?

Melee weapons start with three weapon properties or weapon maneuvers while Ranged weapons start at four, adding additional properties or maneuvers will move the damage die down to the next step ending at 1d4. Combining weapon properties and weapon maneuvers together will help in creating your truly unique weapon. Some properties take up two weapon property slots.

Weapon Properties

Many Weapons have special Properties related to their use, as shown below.

Ammunition

You can use a weapon that has the Ammunition property to make a ranged Attack only if you have Ammunition to fire from the weapon. Each time you Attack with the weapon, you expend one piece of Ammunition. Drawing the Ammunition from a Quiver, case, or other container is part of the Attack (you need a free hand to load a one-handed weapon). At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended Ammunition by taking a minute to Search the battlefield. If you use a weapon that has the Ammunition property to make a melee Attack, you treat the weapon as an Improvised Weapon (see “Improvised Weapons” later in the section). A sling must be loaded to deal any damage when used in this way. This Weapon property does not take up a Weapon property slot as it dictates the type of Weapon it is.

Finesse

When making an Attack with a finesse weapon, you use your choice of your Strength or Dexterity modifier for the Attack and Damage Rolls. You must use the same modifier for both rolls. This weapon property takes up two weapon property slots.

Heavy

Creatures with a Strength score lower than 13 have disadvantage on attack rolls with heavy weapons. A heavy weapon’s size and bulk make it too large and unruly to use effectively. The damage dice of a heavy weapon is split into two dice rather than being one, for example the damage die would go from 1d8 to 2d4 or 1d12 to 2d6. Some damage die like the d10 are not one to one conversions and must require compromise, I recommend rounding up rather than down.

Light

A light weapon is small and easy to handle, making it ideal for use when Fighting with two Weapons.The damage die moves one step below its starting size, unless it takes two weapon property slots.

Loading

Because of the time required to load this weapon, you can fire only one piece of Ammunition from it when you use an Action, bonus Action, or Reaction to fire it, regardless of the number of Attacks you can normally make.

Range

A weapon that can be used to make a ranged Attack has a range in parentheses after the Ammunition or thrown property. The range lists two numbers. The first is the weapon’s normal range in feet, and the second indicates the weapon’s Long Range. When Attacking a target beyond normal range, you have disadvantage on the attack roll. You can’t Attack a target beyond the weapon’s Long Range.

Reach

This weapon adds 5 feet to your reach when you Attack with it, as well as when determining your reach for opportunity Attacks with it. The damage die moves one step below its starting size.

Special

You might want to create a unique with special rules governing its, such weapons require an in-depth discussion with the Game Master on balancing its mechanics, regardless this weapon property takes up two weapon property slots.

Thrown

If a weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon to make a ranged Attack. If the weapon is a melee weapon, you use the same ability modifier for that attack roll and damage roll that you would use for a melee Attack with the weapon. For example, if you throw a Handaxe, you use your Strength, but if you throw a Dagger, you can use either your Strength or your Dexterity, since the Dagger has the finesse property.

Two-Handed

This weapon requires two hands when you Attack with it. The damage die moves one step above its starting size. This weapon property can take two weapon property slots to move the die size two steps above the starting size.

Versatile

This weapon can be used with one or two hands. A damage value in parentheses appears with the property, the damage die when the weapon is used with two hands to make a melee Attack is one step above its normal size. This weapon property can take two weapon property slots to move the die size two steps above the starting size. This weapon property can't be mixed with the Two-Handed or Heavy weapon properties.
