The Bladist

(A Fighter Hombrew by FreeZey and Vailoom)

In the world of BnD, Bladists are born under the Star of Vynis, part of the Sixth Link in the Bridging Constellation. The star of Vynis is a twin star of the Star of Qi'sana.

Bladists learn the basics of all combat styles. Every bladist can swing an axe, fence with a rapier, wield a longsword or a greatsword, use a bow, and even trap foes in a net with some degree of skill. They are adept with shields and every form of armor. Beyond that basic degree of familiarity, each specializes in a certain style of combat. Some concentrate on archery, some on fighting with two weapons at once. This combination of broad general ability and extensive specialization makes Bladists superior combatants on battlefields and in deep dungeons alike.

Class Features

Fighting Style
You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose a Fighting Style from the list of optional features. You can't take the same Fighting Style option more than once, even if you get to choose again.

Archery
You gain a +2 bonus to Attack rolls you make with Ranged Weapons.

Defense
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Dueling
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other Weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to Damage Rolls with that weapon.

Great Weapon Fighting
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an Attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the Two-Handed or Versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Protection
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 impose disadvantage on the Attack roll. You must be wielding a Shield.

Two-Weapon Fighting
When you engage in Two-Weapon Fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second Attack.

Second Wind
You have a limited well of stamina that you can draw on to protect yourself from harm. On Your Turn, you can use a Bonus Action to regain Hit Points equal to 1d10 + your Fighter level. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or Long Rest before you can use it again.

Action Surge
Starting at 2nd Level, you can push yourself beyond your normal limits for a moment. On Your Turn, you can take one additional action on top of your regular action and a possible Bonus Action. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or Long Rest before you can use it again. Starting at 17th level, you can use it twice before a rest, but only once on the same turn.

Martial Archetype
At 3rd Level, you choose an archetype that you strive to emulate in your Combat styles and Techniques, such as Champion. The archetype you choose grants you features at 3rd Level and again at 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level.

Ability Score Improvement or Feat
When you reach 4th Level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th , and 19th Level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two Ability Scores of your choice by 1. As normal you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature. You can also choose not to take an Ability Score improvement, and take a feat instead.

Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th Level, you can Attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on Your Turn. The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 11th level in this class and to four when you reach 20th level in this class.

Indomitable
Beginning at 9th level, you can reroll a saving throw that you fail. If you do so, you must use the new roll, and you can't use this feature again until you finish a Long Rest. You can use this feature twice between long rests starting at 13th level and three times between long rests starting at 17th level.
