Subclass features

Rōnin

Level 3

Master the Sword to Survive in a Harsh World

You were once an honorable blademaster without peer. But those days are long gone. Disgraced and despised, people know you only as a dangerous swordmaster—someone to be feared. You may search for purpose, a way to redeem the black mark on your honor, or simply to survive another day in your endless journey. Perhaps your broken vows still guide you, or perhaps you have abandoned all semblance of honor; only your conduct and your blade define you.

Infamy

Your violent reputation precedes you and gives you the following benefits. Choose the Deception or Intimidation skill. You gain proficiency and Expertise in the chosen skill.

Grudge

As a Bonus Action, you can hold a grudge against a creature you can see within 30 feet of yourself that has dealt damage to you or one of your allies. This grudge lasts for 1 minute, until the target dies, or until you use this feature's Bonus Action again.

At the start of each of your turns while you hold a grudge, you gain a Grudge Battle Die, which is a d6. You can only have one such Battle Die at a time. You can only use your Grudge Battle Die to perform maneuvers targeting the creature against whom you hold a grudge.

Lone Wolf

Level 6

You're used to being outnumbered, granting you the following benefits.

Outnumbered, Not Outmatched

When you roll Initiative and there are more enemies than allies in the Initiative order, you have Advantage on your Initiative roll.

Stand Alone

While no ally is within 5 feet of you and you don't have the Incapacitated condition, enemies can't have Advantage on attack rolls against you.

When a creature you can see within 5 feet of yourself makes an attack against you, you can take a Reaction to make one attack with a Melee weapon against the attacker. You can draw a weapon as a part of this Reaction. Resolve your attack before the triggering attack. On a hit, the triggering attack automatically misses you.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a Short or Long Rest unless you expend two Battle Dice (no action required) to restore your use of it.

Swordmaster

Level 14

Once per turn when you miss with an attack roll, you can repeat that attack against the same target.
