Warrior

Warrior

Warriors are combatants that rely on their instincts and their natural talents to defeat their enemies. Their natural strength, durability and utilization of surging adrenaline make them one of the most daunting opponents. Warriors are self contained vortexes of carnage and destruction on the battlefield hewing foes with reckless abandon and ignoring all but the most grievous of wounds.
A warrior's key attribute is durability. You must have a score of at least 12 in durability to gain your first level in warrior.

Adrenaline Surge

You gain the ability to harness your adrenaline into effective surges. With the use of a half action you may Enter a level 1 Adrenaline Surge. While in a surge you gain an Adrenaline Die that represents your progress towards each level of the surge. The die operates as follows:

• Your adrenaline die is a D20
• Upon entering a surge your adrenaline die starts with a value equal to your warrior level.
• Your warrior features cause your adrenaline die value to increase and decrease as combat unfolds.
• Any time you would increase your adrenaline die beyond its maximum value, it resets to 1 and your Surge level increases.
• Any time you would decrease the die's value below 1, it resets to your starting value and your Surge level decreases.
• Your Surge level, and its effects can stack infinitely.
• After one minute within a Surge you must decrease your adrenaline die by half of its maximum value at the end of each of your turns. You may maintain the surge by increasing the die value as normal but you can no longer increase your surge level.
• At the start of your turn, if you did not increase your adrenaline die value or increase your surge level since the beginning of your last turn, your surge level decreases by 1(your die value remains the same).
• You gain 1 point of exhaustion for every level of surge you reached during that surge. (peak surge level)

Archived info (outdated do not use)

The requirements to maintain your rage are as follows:

• You spend a half action to maintain your rage.
• Each time you take damage to your hit points.
• You kill an enemy
• An enemy you are engaged with is killed from any source

If you would meet any combination of these requirements 6 times in one round, your rage increases instead. (reduced to 5 at level 5, 4 at level 10, 3 at level 15 and 2 at level 20)
The requirements to increase your rage are as follows:

• An ally that you can see or hear becomes unconscious or dies.
• When you critically strike on an attack.
• When you exceed a target's AC by more than 10 on an attack
• When you roll max damage on a damage roll
• (When you become bloodied?)

While raging you get the following benefits according to your rage level

• You rip away restrictive pieces of your armor, reducing your AC from armor by 2/4/6/8/10 and your protection value from armor by half as much. You gain a protection bonus equal to your Con mod + 1/2/3/4/5 (change rage protection to DP?)
• You gain Grit points equal to your durability modifier + your rage level at the start of your next turn
• When you make a Strength check, Strength saving throw, melee or thrown weapon attack using Strength, or cast a spell using CON, gain a d4/d6/d8/d10/d12 bonus die to the checks, saves, and damage rolls. Your Crit range is increased by 1/2/3/4/5 for these uses.
• You ignore 1/2/3/4/5 levels of exhaustion until your rage ends.

You may rage a number of times equal to your CON modifier per long rest. You may choose to rage more times, gaining a level of exhaustion when that rage ends.
The level of rage you can achieve increases at 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th levels.

Reactive Rage

At 2nd level, your rage becomes a viable answer to mental challenges and physical attacks. When you would be forced to make a Wis, Int, or Cha saving throw you may use your reaction to begin or increase your rage. While raging you may make a durability saving throw instead of any Wis, Int, or Cha saving throws. Each time you do so you gain one level of exhaustion. In addition when you are hit by an attack while you have grit points you may use your reaction to choose to allow it to ignore your grit points and damage your hit points instead. This damage is reduced by double the amount of protection you have (minimum of 1 for regular hit, half the total on a crit.)

Fighting Style

At second level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as the brutality of your attacks with certain weapons become feats of wanton destruction. Choose from the applicable list of Fighting Styles.

Momentous attacks

At 3rd level, any time you make an attack while raging, you may choose to make a momentous strike. The attack is made at disadvantage and may not benefit from any sources of advantage, but gains the cleaving weapon property. This attack deals extra damage equal to your Con modifier and is doubled if the weapon you are using has the heavy property. Due to nature of this attack you leave yourself open to counter attacks. Any attacks targeting you are made at advantage until the start of your next turn.

Primal Path

At 3rd level, you choose a path that shapes the nature of your rage from the list of available paths. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 6th, 10th, and 14th levels. If your DM allows the use of feats, you may instead take a feat.

Primal Sorcery

At 3rd level, your rage may uncover an internal sorcerous power within you. Instead of choosing a Primal Archetype you may take a level of Barbaric Sorcerers. You still gain a level as though you are a Warrior.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, you gain an additional ability score increase of your choice. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above your cap using this feature.
You may instead take a feat, or advance your Primal Sorcery feature if you wish.

Brutal Strikes

Beginning at 5th level, when you hit hard, it is VERY hard. Any time you roll the maximum value on a damage die, roll an additional die and add that to the damage of the attack. You may also reroll damage dice that have a value of 1 on your critical strikes.

Unstoppable Force

Starting at 5th level, during your movement if you move at least 20 feet in a straight line without stopping you may dash as a free action. This additional movement must also be in a mostly straight line (diagonal movement in the same direction is allowed). The extra movement cannot be inhibited and you gain advantage on any melee attack or strength based ability check you make at the end of your movement, or double the effective range for a thrown attack.

Path Feature

At 6th level, you may advance your Primal Archetype or choose an archetype if you have not already. You may instead choose to take, or advance the Primal Sorcery feature.

Undying Rage

Starting at 11th level, your rage can keep you fighting despite receiving otherwise fatal wounds. While you are raging, and have grit points, you cannot be knocked unconscious as a result of taking damage, or die as a result of taking massive damage. When you take damage that would reduce you below 1 hit point, roll a DC 10 durability saving throw. On a fail your rage level is reduced by 2. This DC is increased by 1 for every 2 points below 0 hp you are at. When your rage ends, or your Grit points are reduced to 0 your wounds catch up with you. If you are still below 1 hp you fall unconscious, if you are negative by a value that exceeds your maximum hp you die.
