Gravity Knight
A Gravity Knight is a fighter who bolsters their combat capabilities with the ability to control and manipulate the force of gravity on the battlefield. As a Gravity Knight you may have learnt how to wield the power of gravity from the warrior who developed the techniques, or you may have unlocked a hidden potential through means which you may or may not know. No matter what way a Gravity Knight has obtained their power, their focus, determination and ability to use gravity in combat is a force to be reckoned with.

Weave Gravity
Starting at 3rd level when you choose this archetype you learn to weave the pull of gravity around you for 1 minute, until you're incapacitated or you die. As a bonus action you choose to weave what way gravity flows around you as outlined below:
-
Magnify. Each creature of your choice that starts their turn within 10ft of you has their movement speed halved and has disadvantage on Dexterity saving throws until the beginning of their next turn. Additionally, creatures you hit with a melee weapon attack take an additional 1d4 force damage.
-
Reduce. Each creature of your choice that starts their turn within 10ft of you has advantage on Dexterity saving throws and +1 to their AC until the beginning of their next turn. Additionally, your movement speed increases by 10ft.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and gain all expended uses after a long rest.
Gravitas Wave
At 3rd level whenever you take the Attack action, a number of creatures of your choice equal to your proficiency bonus within 30ft of you must make a Strength saving throw equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier or be pulled or pushed away from you (you choose). On a failed save each creature is pulled or pushed up to a number of feet equal to five times your proficiency bonus.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of once), and gain all expended uses after a long rest.
Forceful Punishment
Starting at 7th level, creatures that are pulled towards you from Gravitas Wave provoke an attack of opportunity when they enter your reach.
Additionally, if a creature is pushed into an object from your Gravitas Wave they take force damage equal to your proficiency bonus.
Supreme Weave
At 10th level, your ability to weave gravity to your favour has improved as outlined below:
-
Magnify. The affected range is increased to 30ft. Additionally, creatures you hit with a melee weapon attack instead take an additional 2d4 force damage and must succeed on a Strength saving throw equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (you choose) or be knocked prone.
-
Reduce. The affected range is increased to 30ft. Additionally, your movement speed instead increases by 20ft, weapons you wield are considered to have the finesse property and you can wield weapons with the heavy or versatile property with one hand instead of two.
Additionally, as a bonus action you can choose to swap what way gravity flows around you.
Gravity Step
Starting at 15th level, you have a climbing speed equal to your walking speed and you can move, up, down, and across vertical surfaces and upside down along ceilings, while leaving your hands free.
Additionally, as a reaction you can ignore all fall damage.
Pulse Wave
At 18th level, attacks of opportunity provoked from creatures pulled by your Gravitas Wave no longer require you to use your reaction. Additionally, creatures that are pushed into an object from your Gravitas Wave must succeed on a Constitution saving throw equal to equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier or be stunned until the start of your next turn.
Moreover, if you roll initiative and have no uses of your Gravitas Wave feature left, you regain one use of that feature.
