Fighter

They fight, yo.

Maneuvers

You learn one maneuver per level, plus two bonus maneuvers at level 1.

See Maneuvers for a complete list.

Stances

As a free action, once/rd, you may assume one of the following stances. You stay in that stance until you switch stances, or until combat is over.

Stance	Effect
Offensive Stance	Gain advantage to attack and damage rolls, +10-ft to movement, and you critically hit on 18-20.
Defensive Stance	Gain advantage to any defensive checks, enemies are disadvantaged when attacking you, and any reaction attacks (such as opportunity attacks) inflict double damage. Enemies provoke opportunity attacks from you if they attack anyone besides you.
Group Stance	Your melee attacks become a chain 1, enemies cannot flank you, you are always aware of enemies who threaten you in melee (regardless of perception).

Mastery

As a fighter, you are constantly looking to hone your combat skills to perfection. With each new maneuver you study, you find yourself growing stronger in fundamental ways.

You gain permanent bonuses based on the number of maneuvers you know in each category. This takes effect at level 2, and each time you learn a new maneuver, it improves.

Maneuver type	Bonus per maneuver
Archery	+1 damage with ranged weapons
Command
Dodge
Heavy Weapons	+1 damage with heavy weapons
Light Weapons
Parry	+1 to parry checks
Shields	+1 to block rating
Skirmisher

''Work in progress. I'm thinking there's actually a progress track for each type. For example, archery, heavy, and light probably alternate between +1 to hit and +1 to damage, then a capstone every 5.''

Weapon Specialization

Choose a single type of weapon, such as longsword or greataxe. You permanently gain one damage die when wielding a weapon of this type.

You may use a Skill Alternative to gain specialization in a new weapon type.

Conditioning

All that constant fighting really keep you in shape. Each time you receive an ability score increase, you also gain +1 to Str and Con.
