Advantage on saves against poison saves.
Indomitable. The warrior can reroll a saving throw after one is failed. This cannot be done further until after a long rest.
Great Weapon Fighting. If the user of a two handed weapon rolls a 1 or 2 during melee, while using a weapon with two hands, this can be rerolled. The second roll stands even if a 1 or 2 is rolled. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property to gain this benefit.
