Fighter: Black Prior

# Black Prior
##### A Martial Archetype
You have devoted yourself to a divine of protection and light that has once stood in opposition to the forces of darkness, but is now long gone. Nevertheless, you continue to carry on your deity's will, vowing to repay those that have wronged them in kind, even without the power that was once bestowed upon you.

### Protect from Evil
Beginning at 3rd level, On your turn, you can enter a defensive stance as a bonus action. While defending, you gain the following effects if you are wielding a shield:

+ Your movement is reduced by half.
+ Ranged weapon attacks made against you have disadvantage.
+ As a reaction, you may force a creature that would successfully land a melee weapon attack against you to contest an Athletics check. Upon winning the check, you flip the creature of the same or smaller size than you over your shoulder with your shield, knocking it prone. A creature larger than you fails its attack instead.
+ As a bonus action, you may enhance your blocking capabilities and make all ranged attacks made against you have disadvantage until the start of your next turn.

You can maintain this stance for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked unconsciouss, and you can choose to end your defensive stance at any time, no action required. You can enter this stance a number of times equal to your proficiency modifier, and regain all expended uses after a short or long rest.

### Galvanise the Inquisition
Also at 3rd level, you become better at seeking those that have contributed to your deity's downfall. You become proficient in Investigation.

Additionally, you may choose to gain advantage on Insight checks to assess if someone is lying a number of times equal to your Wisdom modifier per Long Rest (minimum 1).

### The Best Defence is a Good Offence
Starting at 7th level, you learn how to be more proactive during your defensive stance. As a reaction, you may make a melee weapon attack against a creature in range, if you haven't made a weapon attack with an action this round and your turn has ended.

### Ad Profundis!
Starting at 10th level, you push yourself further to drive away foes that dare to raise their weapon against you. As part of the same reaction, you may make a melee weapon attack against a creature that you have flipped this round.

### Patience in the Face of Darkness
At 15th level, you become more calm and patient during combat. Once per turn, you may exchange an Extra Attack for an additional reaction, which lasts until the start of your next turn.

### A Light in the Dark
At 18th level, you manifest a tiny spark of your long gone deity. You regain a number of Hit Points equal to your Wisdom modifier at the start of your turn. You must be below 50% of your maximum Hit Points and your defensive stance must be active for you to benefit from this feature.

Additionally, you may exchange an Extra Attack for a reaction twice per turn, instead of once.
