Fighter Subclass - Samurai
Fighter Subclass - Samurai
The Samurai is a fighter who draws on an implacable fighting spirit to overcome enemies. A Samurai's resolve is nearly unbreakable, and the enemies in a Samurai's path have two choices; yield or die fighting.
The Samurai are a class similar to knights, and herald from a country far from the East. They are armoured well, and experts with horsemanship, bows, lances / spears, and longswords. They are heavily armoured wearing ornate armour and make up elite units in the country they come from. This country is rumoured to be an island chain called Nippon. It is exceedingly rare if if at all anyone outside the Near East, Africa, or Europe as ever heard of them let alone met one.

Bonus Proficiency. When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: History, Insight, Performance, or Persuasion. Alternatively you learn one language of your choice. Fighting Spirit. Starting at 3rd level, your intensity in battle can shield you and help you strike true. As a bonus action on your turn, you can give yourself advantage on weapon attack rolls until the end of the current turn. When you do so, you also gain 5 temporary hit points. The number of temporary hit points when you reach certain levels in this class, increasing to 10 at 10th level, and 15 at 15th level. You can use this feature three times, and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a long rest. Elegant Courtier. Starting at 7th level, your discipline and attention to detail allows you to excel in social situations. Whenever you make a Charisma (Persuasion) check, you gain a bonus to the check equal to your Wisdom modifier. Your self-control also causes you to gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws. If you already have this proficiency, you instead gain proficiency in Intelligence or Charisma saving throws (your choice). Tireless Spirit. Starting at 10th level, when you roll initiative and have no uses of Fighting Spirit remaining, you gain one use. Rapid Strikes. Starting at 13th level, you learn to trade accuracy for swift strikes. If you take the Attack action on your turn and have advantage on an attack roll against one of the targets, you can forgo the advantage for that roll to make an additional weapon attack against that target, as part of that action. You can do so no more than once per turn. Strength Before Death. Starting at 18th level, your fighting spirit can delay the grasp of death. If you take damage that reduces you to 0 hit points and doesn't kill you outright, you can use your reaction to delay falling unconscious, and you can immediately take an extra turn. While you have 0 hit points during that extra turn, taking damage causes death saving throw failures as normal, and three death saving throw failures can still kill you. When the extra attack ends, you fall unconscious, if you still have 0 hit points. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.
