Master Sophisticated Battle Maneuvers

Battle Masters are students of the art of battle, learning martial techniques passed down through generations. The most accomplished Battle Masters are well-rounded figures who combine their carefully honed combat skills with academic study in the fields of history, theory, and the arts.

As a Bonus Action, you can discern certain strengths and weaknesses of a creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself; you know whether that creature has any Immunities, Resistances, or Vulnerabilities, and if the creature has any, you know what they are.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest. You can also restore a use of the feature by expending one Superiority Die (no action required).

Your Superiority Die becomes a d10.

Once per turn, when you use a maneuver, you can roll 1d8 and use the number rolled instead of expending a Superiority Die.

Your Superiority Die becomes a d12.

Pursue Physical Excellence in Combat

A Champion focuses on the development of martial prowess in a relentless pursuit of victory. Champions combine rigorous training with physical excellence to deal devastating blows, withstand peril, and garner glory. Whether in athletic contests or bloody battle, Champions strive for the crown of the victor.

You gain another category=FS of your choice.

The thrill of battle drives you toward victory. During combat, you can give yourself Heroic Inspiration whenever you start your turn without it.

Your attack rolls with weapons and Unarmed Strikes can now score a Critical Hit on a roll of 18–20 on the d20.

You attain the pinnacle of resilience in battle, giving you these benefits.

Defy Death

You have Advantage on Death Saving Throws. Moreover, when you roll 18–20 on a Death Saving Throw, you gain the benefit of rolling a 20 on it.

Heroic Rally

At the start of each of your turns, you regain Hit Points equal to 5 plus your Constitution modifier if you are Bloodied and have at least 1 Hit Point.

Support Combat Skills with Arcane Magic

Eldritch Knights combine the martial mastery common to all Fighters with a careful study of magic. Their spells both complement and extend their combat skills, providing additional protection to shore up their armor and also allowing them to engage many foes at once with explosive magic.

When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace one of the attacks with a casting of one of your Wizard cantrips that has a casting time of an action.

You learn how to make your weapon strikes undercut a creature's ability to withstand your spells. When you hit a creature with an attack using a weapon, that creature has Disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes against a spell you cast before the end of your next turn.

When you use your Action Surge, you can teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. You can teleport before or after the additional action.

When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can replace two of the attacks with a casting of one of your level 1 or level 2 Wizard spells that has a casting time of an action.

Augment Physical Might with Psionic Power

Psi Warriors awaken the power of their minds to augment their physical might. They harness this psionic power to infuse their weapon strikes, lash out with telekinetic energy, and create barriers of mental force.

You have mastered new ways to use your telekinetic abilities, detailed below.

You have Resistance to Psychic damage. Moreover, if you start your turn with the Charmed or Frightened condition, you can expend a Psionic Energy Die (no action required) and end every effect on yourself giving you those conditions.

You can shield yourself and others with telekinetic force. As a Bonus Action, you can choose creatures, including yourself, within 30 feet of yourself, up to a number of creatures equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one creature). Each of the chosen creatures has Half Cover for 1 minute or until you have the Incapacitated condition.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Long Rest unless you expend a Psionic Energy Die (no action required) to restore your use of it.

You always have the Telekinesis spell prepared. With this feature, you can cast it without a spell slot or components, and your spellcasting ability for it is Intelligence. On each of your turns while you maintain Concentration on it, including the turn when you cast it, you can make one attack with a weapon as a Bonus Action.

Once you cast the spell with this feature, you can't do so in this way again until you finish a Long Rest unless you expend a Psionic Energy Die (no action required) to restore your use of it.

Rally Fellow Heroes with Inspiring Leadership

Bannerets are paragons of valor and leadership who protect the innocent and rally fellow adventurers to the causes of justice and freedom. Many are knights serving in Cormyr, the Silver Marches, Damara, Chessenta, or other lands across Faerûn. They wander the realms as knights errant, taking the fight against evil beyond their kingdom's borders.

A Banneret relies on judgment, bravery, and fidelity to the code of chivalry to guide them in defeating evildoers. A lone Banneret is a skilled warrior, but when leading a band of allies one of these warriors can transform even a poorly equipped militia into a ferocious war band.

When you use Group Recovery, each chosen ally has Advantage on D20 Tests until the start of your next turn.

When you use your Action Surge, you can choose allies within a 30-foot Emanation originating from yourself, up to a number of allies equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of one). Each of those allies can immediately take a Reaction to use one of the following options.

Attack

The ally makes one attack with a weapon or an Unarmed Strike.

Move

The ally moves up to half its Speed without provoking an Opportunity Attack.

When an ally you can see within 60 feet of yourself fails a saving throw, you can take a Reaction to expend a use of your Indomitable feature. The ally can immediately reroll the saving throw with a bonus equal to your Fighter level; the ally must use the new roll.

You gain the following benefits.

Bolstered Rally

The area of effect for both Group Recovery and Rallying Surge is now a 60-foot Emanation.

Unshakable Bravery

You have Immunity to the Charmed and Frightened conditions.

Deploy Magical Effects Through Enchanted Ammunition

An Arcane Archer studies a unique elven method of archery that weaves magic into attacks to produce supernatural effects. Over the centuries, other folk have learned this technique and broadened it so it applies to ranged weapons of many kinds and to aspects of adventuring life outside of combat.

You learn how to direct an errant shot toward a new target. If you make a ranged attack roll with a weapon with the Ammunition property and miss, you can cause the shot to ricochet toward a new target as a Bonus Action immediately after the attack misses. The new target must be a creature you can see within the weapon's range and within 60 feet of the attack's original target. Make an attack roll against the new target.

You learn to imbue your ammunition with magical properties. As a Magic action, you can imbue a piece of nonmagical ammunition with one of the following magical properties and fire it at a solid surface you can see within the weapon's range. When the ammunition hits the surface, the ammunition's effect activates, and the ammunition attaches to the surface it hit for the duration of the effect; you can remove an attached piece of ammunition as a Magic action, ending the effect early. When the effect ends, the ammunition is destroyed.

Once you use this feature, you can't do so again until you finish a Short or Long Rest. You can also restore your use of this feature by expending a use of your Second Wind (no action required).

Darkening Ammunition

Magical shadows fill a 15-foot Emanation originating from the ammunition for 1 minute. Nonmagical flames in the Emanation are extinguished, and creatures in the Emanation have a −5 penalty to Wisdom (Perception) checks and Passive Perception.

Unlocking Ammunition

A burst of magic fills a 15-foot Emanation originating from the ammunition. The ammunition also emits a loud knocking sound, audible up to 300 feet away. Any object in the Emanation that is held shut by a nonmagical lock or that is stuck or barred becomes unlocked, unstuck, or unbarred. If such an object has multiple locks, only one of them is unlocked.

Vine Ammunition

A 120-foot-long vine grows from the ammunition. You and other creatures can then climb it. The vine withers away after 10 minutes.

When you roll Initiative, you can regain one expended use of Arcane Shot.

Your magical mastery lets you escape dire situations. When you use your Indomitable feature and succeed on the saving throw, you can teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space you can see.

You employ agility in your sharpshooting. When a creature you can see misses you with an attack roll, you can take a Reaction to move up to half your Speed away from the attacker without provoking Opportunity Attacks. You can then make a ranged attack roll against the attacker as part of this Reaction if the attacker is within the weapon's range.

The ground shakes with the thundering of rapidly approaching hooves and boots. As the enemy crests the ridge into view, you slam your pavise shield into the earth in front of you. As you quickly load your crossbow, you whisper an incantation. Suddenly, the image on your shield shimmers and grows into a huge, illusory dragon, sparking panic and confusion amongst the onrushing cavalry. Horses buck their riders, and in the tumult, you find your target and let loose your bolt.

You are a Pavesarii, an expert in using the pavise tower shield as a mobile battle station. With origins on the battlefields of the Classical era, the late Middle Ages and Renaissance have taken the shield and bowman combination to new lethal heights, and you have taken it one step further, imbuing your attacks and defense with arcane prowess.

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain certain abilities that can change the tides of a battle, and you gain a tower shield. You also can use Strength when attacking with a crossbow instead of Dexterity.

Bonding with the Shield: You can spend 10 minutes with a tower shield to bond with it magically. If you are not willing, nothing can make you drop the shield. If it is somehow more than 10 ft. away from you, you can summon it back to your free hand as a reaction. You can don the shield with the same reaction.

Solid Defense: Your skills with tower shields are legendary. While holding a tower shield, it grants +3 Armor Class instead of +2.

As a bonus action, you can slam your tower shield into the ground and gain cover for your attacks. When you do so, ranged attacks against you are counted as if you are behind three quarters cover until the start of your next turn. In doing so, your movement speed is halved.

Shield Stratagems

Your shield can be used for nearby crowd control or to gain an advantage on the battlefield. As a bonus action you can choose one of the following, and you can do this a number of times equal to your Strength modifier before taking a short or long rest:

Staggering Bash: Make a melee attack against a target with your shield. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage. If you rolled 16 or more on the d20 when you hit the target, the target's Armor Class is reduced by an amount equal to your Strength modifier until the start of its next turn.

Abolishing Bash: Make a melee attack with your shield against a target who cast a spell in their last turn. On a hit, the target takes 1d6 bludgeoning damage. If you rolled 16 or more on the d20 when you hit the target, the target can't speak until the start of your next turn. If it is concentrating on a spell, it has Disadvantage on the Constitution saving throw against your damage.

Your magical bond with your tower shield grows. Choose two of the following spells. Your DC for any spell effects is: 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice): color spray, mirror image, entangle, faerie fire, grease, heat metal, or hold person.

You can cast each of the spells once without expending a spell slot. You regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest.

You may choose two more spells from the Shield spell list. In addition, your shield can shed even more powerful auras. Choose one of the following from the Upgraded Spell List. You can cast it once per day: hallucinatory terrain, cloudkill, ice storm, insect plague, confusion (5th level).

Upgraded Shield Stratagems

At Level 10, your Staggering Bash and Abolishing Bash now do damage equal to 1d8 + your Strength modifier. You also gain a bonus to your speed equal to your Strength Modifier when you perform one of the Stratagems.

Your shield now stands as a rallying call for your allies and a symbol of terror for your foes. You can choose one more spell from the Upgraded Spell List. Also, as a bonus action, you can cast heroism at 5th level. You can do this a number of times equal to your Strength modifier. You regain all uses of heroism when you finish a long rest.

Enraged Shield Stratagems

Your Staggering Bash and Abolishing Bash now have the potential to cause extreme physical or psychological harm. Your damage for these abilities now equals 1d10 + your Strength modifier. In addition, if you score a critical hit with your shield, roll a d10. Consult the following Shield Effects Table for the special damage effect to the target.

Shield Effects Table

Your ability to sway a battlefield with your magical shield has reached unparalleled levels. Choose one of the following spells. You can cast it once per day without needing a spell slot: sunburst, incendiary cloud. You can't do so again until you finish a long rest.

Ultimate Shield Stratagems: Your shield now deals damage equal to 1d12 + your Strength modifier. In addition, if you roll an 18 or higher on your shield attack, it counts as a critical hit. On a critical hit, you can now roll twice on the Shield Effects Table and choose which effect you want to occur.
