Warrior

A determined Fire Genasi positions himself in the center of the melee, laying one end of the long red sash tied to his waist on the ground and pinning 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 champions. 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, using it to accomplish their goals, and facing it defiantly when threatened.

Masters of Warfare

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 to 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.

Class Features

As a Warrior, you gain the following class features.

Fighting Style

Also 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.

2

Warrior

• Blind fighting: You have blindsight up to 10ft. 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.
• Defense: +1 bonus to AC if wearing armor.
• Dueling: When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus 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 can see hits a target other than you, but 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 a target other than you, but within 5ft of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll if you are wielding a shield.
• Superior Technique: You learn one maneuver of your choice from those available to the Battle Master archetype. If a maneuver you use requires your target to make a saving throw, this is against your Legend Save DC. You gain one superiority die, which is a D6 (added to superiority dice from any other source). Your superiority dice become D10 at level 10, and D12 at level 18. Superiority dice are expended when you use them to fuel maneuvers. You regain expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest.
• 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.

Mastery Abilities

At 2nd level, your dedication to training has granted you abilities that further your pursuits on and off the battlefield. These abilities are detailed in the Mastery Abilities list later in this text. You learn additional abilites as you reach higher warrior levels.

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.

Some of your mastery abilities require your target to make a saving throw. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Mastery save DC = 8 + proficiency bonus + primary ability modifier

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.

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.

Honed Senses

At 9th level, your continued training allows you proficiency in a saving throw for which you are not already proficient.

You can choose additional proficiencies at levels 13 and 17.

Press Advantage

At 15th level, you are able to capitalize on advantageous attacks. When you have advantage on an attack, a critical strike occurs with a dice roll of 18 or higher.

Inspiring Presence

At 16th level, your presence in battle emboldens your allies. When an ally within 30ft of you, who can see or hear you, makes a saving throw against an effect with a detectable casting, you can use your reaction to grant your proficiency bonus to the save.

You must use this feature before the saving throw is rolled.

Living Legend

At 20th level, your speed, skill, and awareness in combat is unrivaled. You gain 1 additional reaction, allowing up to 2 reactions per round of combat.

This additional reaction can be triggered in the same manner as your standard reaction, but cannot occur on the same turn.
