Fighter: Revised by u/FaerieFireGames

# Fighter: Revised
Fighters learn the basics of all combat styles. Every fighter can swing an axe, fence with a rapier, wield a longsword or a greatsword, use a bow, and even trap foes in a net with some degree of skill. Likewise, a fighter is adept with shields and every form of armor. Beyond that basic degree of familiarity, each fighter specializes in a certain style of combat. Some concentrate on archery, some on fighting with two weapons at once, and some on augmenting their martial skills with magic. This combination of broad general ability and extensive specialization makes fighters superior combatants on battlefields and in dungeons alike.

\pagebreakNum

### Arcane Archer
An Arcane Archer studies a unique method of archery that weaves magic into attacks to
produce supernatural effects. Arcane Archers are some of the most elite warriors among the elves. They stand watch over the fringes of elven domains, keeping a keen eye out for trespassers and using magic-infused arrows to defeat monsters and invaders before they can reach elven settlements. Over the centuries, the methods of these elf archers have been learned by members of other races who can also balance arcane aptitude with archery.

##### Arcane Archer Features
| Fighter Level  | Feature |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  3rd  | Arcane Lore, Arcane Archer Maneuvers |
|  7th  | Enspelled Arrow |
|  10th  | Arcane Shot |
|  15th  | Improved Enspelled Arrow |
| 18th  | Ever-Ready Shot |

#### Arcane Lore
Beginning when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you choose one of the following options: gain proficiency in Arcana and learn the Prestidigitation cantrip or gain proficiency in Nature and learn the Druidcraft cantrip.

In addition, you can imbue your ranged attacks with magic. When you make a ranged weapon attack, you can make the weapon or piece of ammunition magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage. The magic fades from the weapon or ammunition immediately after it hits or misses its target.

#### Arcane Archer Maneuvers
Starting when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn the following maneuvers.

**Precision Attack**. When you make a weapon attack roll against a creature, you can roll an extra 1d4 and add it to the roll. You can use this maneuver before or after making the attack roll, but before any effects of the attack are applied.

**Pushing Attack**. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you to attempt to drive the target back. If the target is Large or smaller, it must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, you push the target up to 15 feet away from you.

**Curved Attack**. When you miss a creature with a weapon attack, you can target another creature within 15 feet of the original target instead.

#### Enspelled Arrow
Starting at 7th level, when you use one of your maneuvers with a ranged weapon attack, you can choose to enhance it with arcane magic. The attack deals an extra 1d6 damage of your choice of one of the following damage types: fire, cold, lightning, thunder, poison, acid.

When you reach 15th level, the damage dealt by your Arcane Shot increases to 2d6.

#### Arcane Shot
Beginning at 10th level, you can manifest pure arcane energy into physical form. As an action, you can create a piece of ammunition or a weapon with the thrown property that has one of the special properties listed below and send it towards a creature. They are all magical effects, and each one is associated with one of the schools of magic. You may use this feature a number of times as equal to your Intelligence modifier, and regain all expended used when you finish a long rest.

If an option requires a saving throw, your Arcane Shot save DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

**Banishing Arrow**. You use abjuration magic to try to temporarily banish your target to a harmless location in the Feywild. The creature hit by the arrow must also succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be banished. While banished in this way, the target’s speed is 0, and it is incapacitated. At the end of its next turn, the target reappears in the space it vacated or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied.

**Beguiling Arrow**. Your enchantment magic causes this arrow to temporarily beguile its target. The creature hit by the arrow takes an extra 2d6 psychic damage, and choose one of your allies within 30 feet of the target. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw, or it is charmed by the chosen ally until the start of your next turn. This effect ends early if the chosen ally attacks the charmed target, deals damage to it, or forces it to make a saving throw.

**Bursting Arrow**. You imbue your arrow with force energy drawn from the school of evocation. The energy detonates after your attack. Immediately after the arrow hits the creature, the target and all other creatures within 10 feet of it take 2d6 force damage each.
 
**Enfeebling Arrow**. You weave necromantic magic into your arrow. The creature hit by the arrow takes an extra 2d6 necrotic damage. The target must also succeed on a Constitution saving throw, or the damage dealt by its weapon attacks is halved until the start of your next turn.

\pagebreakNum

**Grasping Arrow**. When this arrow strikes its target, conjuration magic creates grasping, poisonous brambles, which wrap around the target. The creature hit by the arrow takes an extra 2d6 poison damage, its speed is reduced by 10 feet, and it takes 2d6 slashing damage the first time on each turn it moves 1 foot or more without teleporting. The target or any creature that can reach it can use its action to remove the brambles with a successful Strength (Athletics) check against your Arcane Shot save DC. Otherwise, the brambles last for 1 minute or until you use this option again.

**Piercing Arrow**. You use transmutation magic to give your arrow an ethereal quality. When you use this option, you don’t make an attack roll for the attack. Instead, the arrow shoots forward in a line, which is 1 foot wide and 30 feet long, before disappearing. The arrow passes harmlessly through objects, ignoring cover. Each creature in that line must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes damage as if it were hit by the arrow, plus an extra 1d6 piercing damage. On a successful save, a target takes half as much damage.

**Seeking Arrow**. Using divination magic, you grant your arrow the ability to seek out a target. When you use this option, you don’t make an attack roll for the attack. Instead, choose one creature you have seen in the past minute. The arrow flies toward that creature, moving around corners if necessary and ignoring three-quarters cover and half cover. If the target is within the weapon’s range and there is a path large enough for the arrow to travel to the target, the target must make a Dexterity saving throw. Otherwise, the arrow disappears after traveling as far as it can. On a failed save, the target takes damage as if it were hit by the arrow, plus an extra 1d6 force damage, and you learn the target’s current location. On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage, and you don’t learn its location.

**Shadow Arrow**. You weave illusion magic into your arrow, causing it to occlude your foe’s vision with shadows. The creature hit by the arrow takes an extra 2d6 psychic damage, and it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be unable to see anything farther than 5 feet away until the start of your next turn.

#### Ever-Ready Shot
At 18th level, you are always ready for battle. When you roll initiative and you have no uses of Arcane Shot left, you regain one use.

\pagebreakNum

### Banneret
A Banneret inspires greatness in others
by committing brave deeds in battle. The mere presence
of a Banneret in a hamlet is enough to cause some
ores and bandits to seek easier prey. A lone Banneret is a
skilled warrior, but a Banneret leading a band of allies can
transform even the most poorly equipped militia into a
ferocious war band. A Banneret prefers to lead through deeds, not words. As
a Banneret spearheads an attack, the Banneret's actions can
awaken reserves of courage and conviction in allies that
they never suspected they had.

\columnbreak

That creature can use its reaction to move up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks from the target of your attack.

#### Inspiring Surge
Starting at 10th level, when you use your Action Surge feature, you can choose one willing creature within 60 feet of you to inspire to action. That creature can use their reaction to take an additional turn in combat at the end of your turn, provided that the creature can see or hear you.

#### Bulwark
Beginning at 15th level, you bolster your allies defenses. When an ally within 60 feet of you fails a saving throw, you can use your reaction to allow them to reroll the saving throw and take the new result, provided that the creature can see or hear you. You can use this feature once and can do so again when you finish a short rest.

When you reach 18th level, you may use this feature twice between short rests.

\pagebreakNum

In addition, mounting or dismounting a creature costs you only 5 feet of movement, rather than half your speed. You have advantage on saving throws made to avoid falling off your mount.

\columnbreak

while	you	are	mounted,	you	roll a d4 as	a	reaction,	adding the	number	
rolled	to	your	or	your	mount’s	AC.	If	the	attack

from	it.

Starting at 15th level, you can run down your foes, whether you’re mounted or not. If you move at least 10 feet in a straight line right before attacking a creature and you hit it with the attack, that target must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier) or be knocked prone. You can use this feature only once on each of your turns.

**Readied Attack**. When a creature moves within 5 feet of you, you can make an attack of opportunity against them as a reaction.

#### Spellcasting
When you reach 3rd level, you augment your martial prowess with the ability to cast spells. See chapter 10 for the general rules of spellcasting and chapter 11 for the wizard spell list.

**Cantrips**. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn an additional wizard cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

**Spell Slots**. The Eldritch Knight Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell’s level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell shield and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast shield using either slot.

**Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher**. You choose an arcane order of which to model your techniques. You choose one of the following:

* **Order of the Eldritch Hand** - Abjuration and Evocation
* **Order of the Eldritch Mantle** - Conjuration and Transmutation
* **Order of the Eldritch Eye** -  Divination and Illusion
* **Order of the Eldritch Soul** - Enchantment and Necromancy

You know three 1st-level wizard spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from your chosen schools on the wizard spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Eldritch Knight Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be of your chosen schools, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the wizard spells you know with another spell of your choice from the wizard spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be of your chosen schools, unless you’re replacing the spell you gained at 8th, 14th, or 20th level.

**Spellcasting Ability**. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your spells through study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

* Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
* Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

\pagebreakNum

**Rearmament**. When you are disarmed of your weapon, you use a reaction to return the weapon to your hand and make a weapon attack against the creature.

### Samurai
The Samurai is a fighter who draws on an implacable fighting spirit to overcome enemies. A
Samurai’s resolve is nearly unbreakable, and the enemies in a Samurai’s path have two choices:
yield or die fighting.

##### Samurai Features
| Fighter Level  | Feature |
|:---:|:-----------:|
|  3rd  | Fighting Spirit, Samurai Maneuvers |
|  7th  | Readied Hand |
|  10th  | Disciplined Mind |
|  15th  | Rapid Strike |
| 18th  | Honor of the Fallen |

#### Fighting Spirit
Beginning when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you can use your maneuvers to fuel your spirit. When you expend a superiority die, you gain temporary hit points equal to twice your proficiency bonus. Any temporary hit points gained in this way are lost upon completing a short or long rest.

#### Samurai Maneuvers
Starting when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn the following maneuvers.

**Parry**. When another creature damages you with a melee attack, you can reduce the damage equal your Strength or Dexterity modifier.

**Feinting Attack**. You can 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.

**Riposte**. When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against the creature.

#### Readied Hand
When you reach 7th level, you are better able to react to threats. On the first turn of combat, your movement speed increases by 10 feet.

#### Disciplined Mind
At 10th level, your self-control also causes you to gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws. If you already have this proficiency, you instead gain proficiency in your choice of either Intelligence or Charisma saving throws.

#### Rapid Strike
Starting at 15th level, you learn to trade accuracy for swift strikes. If you take the Attack action on your turn and have advantage on an attack roll against one of the targets, you can forgo the advantage for that roll to make an additional weapon attack against that target, as part of the same action. You can do so no more than once per turn.

#### Honor of the Fallen
Starting at 18th level, your strong spirit can delay the grasp of death. If you take damage that reduces you to 0 hit points and doesn’t kill you outright, you can use your reaction to delay falling unconscious, and you can immediately take an extra turn, interrupting the current turn. While you have 0 hit points during that extra turn, taking damage causes death saving throw failures as normal, and three death saving throw failures can still kill you. When the extra turn ends, you fall unconscious if you still have 0 hit points. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.
