<font face='tradegothic' size=''> ## Ki Warrior - Fighter Archetype by Spyyke ## Martial Arts As a Fighter you begin crudely training in Martial Arts, a discipline practiced by Monks. While Monks train their entire lives to hone their Ki both Internally and Externally a fighter can only hope to achieve both. When starting your training as a Ki Warrior you practice Internal Ki training taking in your previous proficiency in Weapons Training to create a new breed of Fighter. Beginning at 3rd level you gain proficiency in Unarmed Strike and you can use Dexterity instead of Strength when making your Unarmed Strikes. You also gain the following benefits: - When using a Dexterity Unarmed Strike the dice is a d4, and using a Strength Unarmed Strike is a d6 - You gain proficiency in Improvised Weapons - You gain an additional Fighting Style. Each time you level up you can switch one fighting style for another ## Ki Ki is a life force energy almost every mortal being possesses, it is just a matter of awakening the power within. For Fighters accessing their inner Ki no easy feat. But due to their hardy nature and their experience in combat, it can be unlocked through various means. Also beginning at 3rd Level you gain Ki Points which are used on Ki Moves. You gain a number of Ki Points and Ki Moves as you level up and some Ki Moves change as you level. | Level | Ki Points| Ki Moves| |:---:|:-----:|:---| | 3rd | 3 | *Ultra Instinct, Sonic Step* | | 7th | 6 | *Counter Strike, Purge, Swift Sheathe* | | 10th | 9 | *Deflect Missile, Focus Strike, Ki Durability* | | 15th | 12 | *Empowered Strike* | | 18th | 18 | *Stunning Strike* | Some of your Ki Features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows: <div style='margin-top:20px'></div> <font face='scalysans' size='2'> <center> **Ki Save DC** </font> = <font face='scalysans' size='2'> 8 + Your Proficiency Bonus + </center> <div style='margin-top:-8px'></div> <center> Your Wisdom Modifier </center> <div style='margin-top:12px'></div> </font> When you spend a ki point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended ki back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your ki points. \columnbreak ## Potential Unleashed Your practice as a Ki Warrior has allowed you to maintain a internal form where you no longer need to focus on it actively, as your body runs passively.
