The Fighter

Some want to defend those who can’t defend themselves, others seek to use their muscle to carve their own place in the wider world. In a continent ravaged by war, the Fighter is an indispensable force to be reckoned with, and can take the form of guards, bounty hunters, mercenaries, freedom fighters or simply armed explorers. Whatever their profession, they have received at least a basic amount of formal training which they put to use in the field.

You learn two maneuvers of your choice, which are detailed under "Maneuvers" below, and you earn more at higher levels, as shown in the Maneuvers Known column of the Fighter class table. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one maneuver per attack, and you may only use each maneuver once per turn. Each time you learn new maneuvers, you can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one.

Superiority Dice

Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice).
