Level 1, Second Wind. You have a limited well of stamina that you can draw on to protect Persuasion +0
yourself from harm. On your turn, you can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to
1d10 + your fighter level. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest Religion +0
before you can use it again. Sleight of Hand +2
Stealth +2
Level 2, Action Surge. On your turn, you can take one additional action. Once you use
Survival +2
this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
Level 3, Combat Superiority. You learn maneuvers that are fueled by special dice called superiority dice. You can use
only one maneuver per attack. You have four superiority dice, which are d8s. A superiority die is expended when you
use it. Regain all of your superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest.
Maneuver, Feinting Attack. You can expend one superiority die and use a bonus action on your turn to feint,
choosing one creature within 5 feet of you as your target. You have advantage on your next attack roll against that
creature this turn. If that attack hits, add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll.
Maneuver, Parry. When another creature damages you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and expend
one superiority die to reduce the damage by the number you roll on your superiority die + your Dexterity modifier.
Maneuver, Sweeping Attack. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one superiority
die to 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
number you roll on your superiority die. The damage is of the same type dealt by the original attack.
Level 4, Feat. A feat represents a talent or area of expertise that gives a character special capabilities. Choose ONE
of the following options: Great Weapon Master, Sharpshooter, or Sentinel.
Great Weapon Master. You've learned to put the weight of a weapon to your advantage, letting its momentum
empower your strikes. You gain the following:
● On your turn, when you score a critical hit with a melee weapon or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with one,
you can make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action.
● Before you make a melee attack with a heavy weapon that you are proficient with, you can choose to take a -5
penalty to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you add +10 to the attack's damage.
Sharpshooter. You have mastered ranged weapons and can make shots that others find impossible. You gain the
following:
● Attacking at long range doesn't impose disadvantage on your ranged weapon attack rolls.
● Your ranged weapon attacks ignore half cover and three-quarters cover.
● Before you make an attack with a ranged weapon that you are proficient with, you can choose to take a -5
penalty to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you add +10 to the attack's damage.

benefits:
● When you hit a creature with an opportunity attack, the creature's speed becomes 0 for the rest of the turn.
● Creatures provoke opportunity attacks from you even if they take the Disengage action before leaving your
reach.
● When a creature within 5 feet of you makes an attack against a target other than you (and that target doesn't
have this feat), you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the attacking creature.

action on your turn.

charmed by you, it is friendly to you and other creatures you designate.

cast a spell at the creature. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature.

1st-level spell of your choice. The 1st-level spell must be from the divination or enchantment school of magic. You can
cast each of these spells without expending a spell slot. Once you cast either of these spells in this way, you can't cast
that spell in this way again until you finish a long rest.
Tough. Your hit point maximum increases by an amount equal to twice your level when you gain this feat. Whenever
you gain a level thereafter, your hit point maximum increases by an additional 2 hit points.
