Warrior
A thundering sound of wood splintering as a man lands on the deck of the ship. His muscles glisten in the sunlight as he steps forward completely coated in blood. He raises his weapons with an axe in one hand and a shortsword in another and grunts loudly.
A young human woman clad completely in bronze shimmering armor, the crater around her still smoldering from the fireball thrown at her. A host of wizards stand dumbfounded across the battlefield. Her other hand grips the hilt of her greatsword as grin crosses her face. "You thought I'd go down that easily?"
An arrow rips through the darkness and into one of the many guards. They react quickly and close in on the location it was fired from, as three more arrows tear through the men from different directions. An elf in black cloaks flies out of the shadows slashing in midair at the remaining three guards with his sword before disappearing back into the shadows without a trace.
With grace like a deadly dance, a flying aarakocra wields a spear of great length fighting off dozens of foes at once, their blood staining the floor with their misplaced confidence. More soldiers of all kinds are felled at the mercy of this winged creature without even stepping close enough to return a strike.
Descended from legends of old, the Warriors still draw power from a rare old gift created by clever warriors. There are still whispers of the legendary vikings who ruled the sea with their unorthodox combat, the terrifying Ninja who struck from the shadows killing and disappearing without a trace, the invincible Gladiators who battled creatures and monsters alike for the fun of it, and the Shaolin who mastered the polearm and martial arts. These incredible lineages have powerful origins and this undeniable power from violence courses through the blood of a rare few of their descendants.
These special abilities and unnatural aptitude for violence can lie dormant in some people for their entire lives. But if pushed to the brink, some descendants of legendary warriors will have the knowledge and abilities of their ancestors flash before their eyes giving them the unnatural ability to slay their foes without remorse. Some may be drowned by the violence they cannot escape, but many others revel in the power they have been granted.

Whirlwind of Blades
2nd level Warrior feature
At 2nd level, you can use the feature Whirlwind of Blades a number of times equal to (Descendant Instincts primary ability score modifier + level)/3 [Rounded Up]
Before using this ability, choose either one two handed weapon, or two dual wielded weapons to make hits with.
Charge forward 20 feet, the ability hits all enemies within 7.5 feet in either direction (a 20 x 15 area). Flying creatures cannot be hit unless they are within 5
feet of the ground. All enemies must make a CON save with a DC determined by (8 + Descendant Instincts primary ability score + proficiency bonus). If they fail this counts as a successful hit from you and the weapon(s) you choose before attacking. These hits are valid to inflict bleed if Serrated Blades is unlocked at level 3.
Each Descendant Instinct has a different effect when using this ability. These affects are listed on the Descendant Instincts.
Serrated Blades
3rd level Warrior feature
Any melee attack, a bladed throwing attack, or a ranged bow attack inflicts a bleed debuff on damage. Bleed causes the target to make a (8 + Descendant Instincts primary ability score + proficiency bonus) CON DC at the start of every turn, on a fail they take damage equal to your proficiency bonus + half your constitution modifier (rounded down), on a success the effect ends. The effect also ends if the damage would be fatal, or if the creature is healed.
All damage dealt by bleed is added to a blood point pool for the player that can be expended to use abilities. These blood points expire after a long or short rest or 48 hours. Bleed cannot be stacked on the same target twice unless your Descendant Instincts is Ninja, in which case inflicting bleed on a new target makes the CON DC on the old target be reduced to 5 (this does not affect bleed inflicted by Whirlwind of Blades or the Blood Moon Beckons).

At level 4 (and again at levels 6, 8, 12, 14, and 19) you can choose to increase one ability score by two, or two ability scores by one. (Up to a maximum of 20) Alternatively, feats can be chosen if allowed by your DM.

How effective and how much these effects cost is up to the DM’s discretion.
