## Fighter Martial Archetype

</div>

### Moxie
Starting at 3rd level, your experience laying the beatdown on others has given you a moxie you can channel in the midst of battle. This swagger is represented by a number of moxie points. You have moxie points equal to half your fighter level (round down).

You can spend these points to fuel various moxie features. You know three such features: Brace Up, The Old One-Two, and Stick and Move. You regain all expended moxie points when you complete a short or long rest.

#### Brace Up
You can use a bonus action and spend 1 moxie point to brace for attacks. Roll your unarmed damage die + your fighter level + your Constitution modifier and gain that many temporary hit points.

#### The Old One-Two
Immediately after you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend 1 moxie point to make an unarmed strike as a bonus action.

#### Stick and Move
You can use a bonus action and expend 1 moxie point to make a shove attack or take the Dash action.

### Bloodied But Unbowed
Starting at 3rd level, when you take damage that reduces you to half your maximum hit points or less, you can use your reaction to gain temporary hit points equal to your fighter level + your Constitution modifier and you regain all expended moxie points. You cannot use this feature again until you finish a short or long rest.

### Haymaker
Starting at 7th level, before you make an attack, you can declare you are swinging wild haymakers. You make all weapon attack rolls until the end of this turn with disadvantage and when you deal damage with a weapon or an unarmed strike you do not roll for the weapon’s damage die, but use the maximum die result instead.

### Lesser Improved Unarmed Strike
Starting at 7th level the damage die of your unarmed strike increases by one size (1 to d4, d4 to d6, or d6 to d8).

### Moxie Fuelled Fists
Starting at 7th level, your unarmed strikes count as magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to non-magical attacks and damage.

\columnbreak

### Down But Not Out
At 10th level, when you use your Bloodied But Unbowed feature you can choose to also use this feature. If you do, you add your proficiency bonus to your damage with unarmed attacks and weapons for the next minute. You can use this feature again after you
complete a long rest.

### Fancy Footwork
At 10th level, you gain proficiency in Dexterity saving throws.

### Improved Unarmed Strike
Starting at 15th level the damage die of your unarmed strike increases by one size (d4 to d6, d6 to d8, or d8 to d10).

### Unbreakable
Starting at 15th level, you gain advantage on Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution saving throws. Additionally, whenever you make a saving throw and fail, you can spend 1 moxie point to reroll it and take the second result.

### Greater Improved Unarmed Strike
Starting at 18th level the damage die of your unarmed strike increases by one size (d6 to d8, d8 to d10, or d10 to d12).

### Fighting Spirit
Starting at 18th level, when you have 4 levels of exhaustion or fewer and are reduced to 0 hit points, you regain half of your maximum hit points, half of your maximum moxie points, and gain a level of exhaustion. You cannot use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

<br>

> #### Building a Brawler
> This subclass is written with the expectation that the character also chooses other brawling oriented options, such as the Brawling Fighting Style and the Brawling Mastery Feat (see Stormchaser's Character Rules). These stack with the Improved Unarmed Strike subclass features for an eventual d12 unarmed damage die at level 18.
