Fighting Style
Fighting styles have been reworked to be fun.
When you gain the Fighting Style class feature, or the Fighting Initiate feat, you can choose one of the following:
Dual Wielder. While you are dual wielding, you gain the following benefits:
- Your main-hand weapon can lack the light feature.
- When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to make an off-hand weapon attack against the creature.
Duelist. While you are wielding a single melee weapon that lacks the heavy property, you gain the following benefits:
- Increase the size of a damage die dealt by your weapon by one, to a maximum of a d12.
- When a creature misses you with a melee weapon attack, you can use your reaction to attempt to shove, grapple or disarm the attacking creature.
Great Weapon Master. While wielding a weapon with the heavy property, you gain the following benefits:
- Creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they move 5 feet or more while within your melee weapon's reach.
- On your turn, when you score a critical hit with a melee weapon or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with one, you can make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action.
Protector. While you are wielding a shield, you gain the following benefits:
- You gain an additional +1 to your shield's AC bonus.
- When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to add your shield's AC bonus to the target's AC until the start of your next turn, or until you and your target are separated by more than 5 feet.
Sharpshooter. While you are wielding a ranged weapon, you gain the following benefits:
- Your ranged weapon attacks ignore half and three-quarters cover.
- When a creature you can see targets you with a ranged weapon or spell attack, you can use your reaction to make a ranged weapon attack against the attacking creature.
Tavern Brawler. A natural combatant, you gain the following benefits:
- Your unarmed strikes deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier on a hit. When you make an unarmed strike against a creature you have grappled, the d6 becomes a d8.
- When a creature that is within 5 feet of you is the target of a melee attack by a creature other than you, you can use your reaction to make an unarmed strike or an improvised weapon attack against the targeted creature.

Complementary Rules
Dual Wielding
When you make a main-hand melee attack with a weapon that has the light property as part of an action on your turn, you can use a bonus action to make an off-hand attack with a different light, melee weapon. You don’t add your ability modifier to the damage of the off-hand attack, unless that modifier is negative.
If either weapon has the thrown property, you can throw the weapon, instead of making a melee Attack with it.
Bloodied
When a creature is reduced to below half of it's maximum hit points, it is bloodied.
Bloodied creatures have disadvantage on all skill checks.
The bloodied condition is removed when the creature is restored to above half of their maximum hit points.
Feats
Dual Wielder, Great Weapon Master, Sharpshooter, Tavern Brawler, Polearm Master, Defensive Duelist, Grappler, Shield Master and Crossbow Expert.
