Warrior
A determined Fire Genasi positions himself in the center of the melee. He lays one end of the long red sash tied to his waist on the ground and pins it there with a spear. Clapping club to shield, he resolves to find victory, or die there.
A young Kalashtar in gleaming armor steps forward from among her allies, quieting them with a look. With a heavy strike of her Champi, she challenges her enemy's captain to single combat. She puts her strength alone against the greatest of her enemies, to spare her people a great battle.
A mounted warrior quickly closes on his foes. He drags his serrated blade across a shoulder as he rides past, opening a bleeding wound. As he again puts space between himself and his enemies, he turns to finish the job from a distance with a bowshot, never slowing his steed.
Warriors learn their style of warfare and code of honor through the legends of their people's greatest leaders, soldiers, and protectors. All of these warriors share a mastery of weapons and armor, and thorough knowledge of combat. In kind, they are well acquainted with violence and death.
Combat Trained
Driven by a warrior's code and the desire to live up to the legends they grew up hearing, Warriors overcome their foes by will and martial prowess. Beyond training with weapons and armor, each Warrior lives by an ethos based on their legend. A Warrior might strike quickly and retreat, stand their ground, or attack savagely. Yet others are adept leaders or specialists in defeating magic users.
Elite Fighters
Not every guard, soldier, or swordsman is a Warrior. Most are relatively untrained troops with only basic combat knowledge. Warriors are the best among their people, who have earned their position through experience and study on and off the battlefield.
Some Warriors feel drawn to the life of an adventurer. The dungeons, monsters, and other dangerous situations common to adventurers are second nature for a Warrior. There are greater risks in adventuring, perhaps, but also much greater rewards — few warriors employed as personal guards or enlisted soldiers truly have the opportunity to become a legend in their own right.
Creating a Warrior
As you create your Warrior, consider how you came to embody the fighting spirit of your people in such a way as to be elevated above other fighters. Were you assigned this fate and trained from a young age? Did you fight your way up the ranks on your own? Is there a goal to your training or do you simply live for the call of battle? A single experience or years of influence could have pushed you towards a life of warfare.
You may have been trained in an academy, learning strategy, tactics, and military history. Perhaps you learned on the battlefield itself. Where did you acquire your weapons and armor? They might have been military issue or family heirlooms, or perhaps you saved for years to buy them. Your armaments are now among your most valued possessions — the tools to achieve your legend.
Quick Build
You can make an Warrior quickly by following these suggestions. Choose a Warrior Legend, and make that primary attribute your highest stat, followed by Constitution or Dexterity. Take the Folk Hero or Soldier background.
Class Features
As a Warrior, you gain the following class features.
Hit Points
- Hit Dice: 1d10 per warrior level

- Legend chosen melee and ranged weapon
- Shield or another martial weapon
- Single set of armor up to 75GP
- Dungeoneer’s pack or explorer’s pack
Warrior Legend Ability
Your primary ability is determined by your Warrior Legend. When you execute a Warrior ability, you use that modifier to set any saving throw DCs. In addition, you use that same modifier when making an attack roll with one of your legend's chosen weapons.
Legend save DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + primary ability modifier
Legend attack modifier = proficiency bonus + primary ability modifier
Fighting Style
At first Level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take the same Fighting Style option more than once, even if you get to choose again.
- Archery: You gain a +2 bonus to ranged attack rolls.

The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.
- Interception: When a creature you can see hits an other target within 5ft of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon..
- Protection: When a creature you can see attacks an other target within 5ft of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll if you are wielding a shield.

- Thrown Weapon Fighting: You can draw a thrown weapon 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.
Warrior Legend
The cultural fighting style of your people's venerated warriors shapes your approach to combat. At 1st level, you choose a Warrior Legend from: Dog Soldier, Eagle/Jaguar Warrior, Greatbrother, Raider, Shorn One, or Wanderer.
Onslaught
At 2nd level, you can use up to 15ft of your movement and your action to strike at all enemies within 5ft in any direction (effective 30x15 area maximum). All enemies in this area must make a Dexterity saving throw, creatures who fail take your weapon attack damage.
You do not provoke opportunity attacks during this action. You can use this feature a number of times per day equal to your primary attribute modifier.
Mastery Abilities
At 3rd level, your training has granted you additional abilities that further your pursuits on and off the battlefield. These abilities are detailed in the Mastery Abilities list later in this text. Along with these abilities, you have a well of points to be consumed when using them. This well of points is shown on the Warrior Table as "Mastery Points," and is replenished with a long rest.
Ability Score Increase
At 4th level (and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, and 19th), 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 GM.
Backhand
At 5th level, you can turn a miss into another strike. When you miss with a melee weapon attack, you can make another attack with that weapon as part of the same action. You may do this a number of times per long rest equal to your proficiency bonus.
This second attack cannot benefit from advantage, and deals only weapon damage, with no modifiers.
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 16th level in this class.
Heroic Resistance
Starting at 9th level, you can re-roll a saving throw that you fail. When doing so, you can roll 2 Legend Dice and add the result, plus your proficiency bonus, to the roll. You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
You can use this feature twice at 13th level. At 17th level, you have 3 uses and this becomes Legendary Resistance.

Additionally, once per Long Rest, when you succeed on an intimidation check, you can cast Detect Thoughts without using any components.

Legend: Dog Soldier

Sharp-tooth Warclub
melee weapon (exotic, martial)
A warclub roughly 1m in length. Adorned with bladed "teeth" along the shoulder or belly of the haft, some may also have a steel striking ball at the end.
- Damage: 1d8
- Damage Type: Variable
- Weight: 2
- Properties: Versatile (1d10)
Unflinching
At 1st level, when hit by a ranged attack, you may reduce the damage by the result of 1 Legend Die. You can do this a number of times per long rest equal to your proficiency bonus.
Rebuff
When you use Onslaught, each creature affected must make a Strength saving throw. On failure, the creature is pushed backwards 15ft, or unaffected if successful.
Creatures 1 size smaller make this save with disadvantage, and smaller creatures fail automatically. Creatures 1 size larger make this save with advantage, and larger creatures pass automatically.
Powerful Resolve
At 3rd level your ritual practice in herbalism allows you resistance to poison and disease.
In addition, you gain the effects of the Sentinel feat.
Hold Your Ground
At 7th level, as a bonus action you can tether yourself to the ground on which you stand. Your movement is limited to a 10ft radius from the point of origination, and your onslaught feature uses this as its area of effect. You select a direction, and your Rebuff feature pushes all creatures in that direction.
Any creature attempting to pass the "center line" of this area is vulnerable to an attack from you as a reaction. If they are not within your normal threatened range, you can move to them as part of this reaction without triggering attacks of opportunity. Flying creatures are not threatened when flying over this area.
You cannot be pushed or moved outside of this area by any means while tethered. Your tether remains until removed by you as an action. Doing so while hostile creatures remain nearby invokes the shame of cowardice, forfeiting 1/4 of your maximum mastery points.
Unbridled Courage
At 10th level, you and any allied creature within 30ft of you are immune to the frightened condition.
Enduring
Starting at 15th level, your endurance in battle is unrivaled. You may roll one Legend Die and regain that many hit points if you end your turn in combat with fewer than half of your hit points remaining and you aren't incapacitated.
If you are tethered using your Hold Your Ground feature, you may add your constitution modifier.
Brutal Rebuff
At 18th level, when using Onslaught, no size grants advantage or immunity against your knock-back. In addition, any affected creature is knocked prone.
Legend: Eagle/Jaguar Warrior
Eagle and Jaguar warriors are chosen by merit and proof of courage in battle alone. Despite this, their position involves far more than impressive combat skills. Earning a place among these warriors also means a place among nobility, and an expectation of leadership to match.

You have advantage on the first attack of each turn that you make against that creature, and on any checks made to grapple them. Your speed is increased by 10ft if pursuing this creature.
You may only have this feature active on one creature at a time. If a creature that has been affected by this feature dies,
you forfeit 1/4 of your maximum mastery points, and cannot use this feature again until you finish a long rest.
In addition, you can add your proficiency bonus to any Charisma check made in the pursuit of luring the target into capture or a trap, doubled if you are already proficient.
Cut Off
By 7th level, you have trained to close off a foe's retreat. When you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, you can move up to half your speed immediately after the attack and as part of the same reaction. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.
In addition, creatures inside of your mire cannot disengage from you.
Rebuke
At 10th level, you have the ability to make an enemy shrink from attacking you. When targeted with an attack or spell, you can immediately use your reaction to rebuke the attacker. Roll one Legend Die, the target's damage rolls until the start of their next turn are reduced up to the resultant amount.
You may do this a number of times per long rest equal to your proficiency bonus.
Student of War
At 15th level, you may choose another fighting style. If you have already chosen Superior Technique, you may choose it again.
In addition, twice per long rest, you may roll a Legend Die and add that value to a check made with one of the proficiencies available from your Academy Trained feature.
Freedom of Movement
By level 18 you are not affected by difficult terrain, and have advantage when fighting in difficult terrain. You also have advantage to any saving throw against being grappled or restrained.

Redistribution
When you use Onslaught, the damage you inflict can be redistributed as healing to allies within 30ft, including yourself. The maximum amount is equal to the max roll of 2 Legend Dice, and can be spread among allies as you choose.

Each turn while single combat continues, you have advantage on your first attack against the target, and you can add one Legend Die to a damage roll.
Single combat ends if either target is affected by a spell or attack from an outside combatant.
Captain
By 7th level, you effectively lead your comrades on the battlefield. As an action, you can issue one of the following commands to up to 4 creatures that can see or hear you and are within 60ft.

-
Harden Your Will! The targets have advantage against being frightened or charmed. If already affected, they can repeat the saving throw as a reaction to end the effect.
-

Battle Ready
At 15th level, you and up to three friendly creatures that you can see can each move up to 20ft when you roll initiative. A creature cannot benefit from this feature if its speed is 0.

Final Stand
By level 18, if you are reduced to 0 hit points and not killed outright, you can use your reaction to immediately take an extra turn, interrupting the current turn.

Special: When you hit with a melee attack, you choose to grapple the creature or rip the spines out. If pulled back, the damage is 1d8, and the weapon is free for further attacks. A creature can free themselves from this grapple as an action with a DC10 Strength check.
Know Your Enemy
By 1st level, your knowledge of the supernatural grants you proficiency with Arcana checks. Likewise you add your proficiency bonus to any Intelligence check related to the use of magic, prominent magic users, or otherworldly beings.
You may also choose one proficiency from: Insight, Deception, or Stealth.
Silencing Strikes
When you use Onslaught, the area of effect is affected by silence. This effect does not require concentration, but can only affect a single area at any given time. Using Onslaught again will release the effect on the previous area. If using your Kakivak, all Onslaught damage rolls use 1d8.
Mage Hunter
By 3rd level, you gain the effects of the Mage Slayer feat. Additionally, you can Detect Magic as a ritual.
Supernatural Defenses
At 7th level, as an action, you can bestow one of the following effects, for 1 minute, on yourself or a creature that you touch:
- Warding. Aberrations, Celestials, Fey, Fiends, and Undead that touch the warded creature or hit it with a melee attack take 1 Legend Die force damage.
- Vision. The target can see creatures that are invisible or on the Ethereal Plane, and can see the original form of creatures whose form has been altered by magic.
- Resolve. The creature cannot be possessed or charmed, and they gain resistance to necrotic and psychic damage.
You can use this feature a number of times per long rest equal to your proficiency bonus.
Thwart Magic
At 10th level, when a creature within 60ft of you begins to cast a spell, you can use your reaction to thwart the casting. Twice per long rest, you can cast Counterspell at 3rd level.
Study your Enemy
At 15th level, you can use your action to examine a creature you can see within 30ft. You know the general type and max level of magic it is able to use, and vulnerabilities it may have. For 1 minute, you have advantage on Intelligence and Charisma checks made to interact with that creature, and advantage on attack rolls against it. You can use this feature once per short or long rest.
In addition, your Thwart Magic feature automatically effects spells of level 4 or lower.
Antimagic
By level 18, you can nullify magic entirely. Once per long rest, you can turn the silenced area of your onslaught to an antimagic field.
In addition, your Thwart Magic feature automatically effects spells of level 5 or lower.
This is Your Life
To help you create your Warrior, you can use the suggestions found on the following tables to help you decide your character's story and goals.
Call of Battle
Many Warriors come from a long tradition of soldiers, or have had some experience that led them to adopt their craft and Warrior spirit. These callings may be quite distinct, varying from lifelong influences to recent events.
Call of Battle
d6 | Call |
---|---|
1 | As far back as you remember, you've had a dream in which your name was hailed as a Legendary warrior. |
2 | Your family are a long line of Warriors or soldiers that expect you to maintain the tradition. |
3 | You just really like fighting, and excel at it. |
4 | You were taken in by an academy as a child, this what you were raised to do. |
5 | Your village was attacked and you felt powerless, so you sought the ability to defend those you love. |
6 | You grew up hearing stories of great warriors and heroic deeds, and knew you had to make your own legend. |
Warrior Traditions
Warriors typically do battle for a cause. Some fight on behalf of kingdoms besieged by monsters, while others quest for personal glory. A sign of that cause may be permanent, or carried at important times. It may be a totem of their people, symbolic tattoos, or an emblem created for themselves.
Your character could have a specific cause, and thus already has these symbols. If that's not the case, consider devising a totem, pattern, or emblem that symbolizes an aspect of your nature or speaks to what you see as your purpose in the world.
Warrior Nature
d6 | Nature |
---|---|
1 | A totem with a badger and falcon, representing strong will and thirst for adventure. |
2 | Yellow and green feathers worn on the head or across the shoulders, marking one who seeks battle. |
3 | A black line or block tattooed across the eyeline, suggesting spiritual insight - an ability to see "beyond." |
4 | A loose plume of crow feathers worn on the head or one shoulder, marking a defender of common people. |
5 | Three red streaks tattooed beneath the left eye, symbolizing sworn enemies. |
6 | A firebird emblazoned on the chest or back, an expression of an indomitable spirit. |
Personal Goal
Why have you set out on your own, apart from a militia or guard? Do you believe that your abilities are better used toward a different purpose?
There is no shortage of battle to be found as a soldier, but orders rarely serve those who take them. Think of what you wish to accomplish, and how you might seek it..
Personal Goal
d6 | Goal |
---|---|
1 | You will set an example of martial prowess, and in doing so empower others. |
2 | You made an oath that you will honor, or die trying. |
3 | You fight only so that others do not have to. |
4 | You believe that a god has set your destiny, though it may yet be unknown to you. |
5 | You have been wronged, and you aim to avenge a loss. |
6 | You will inspire a legend of your own name, to be told with awe for generations. |
