Lightning Spearman (5e Subclass)
From D&D Wiki
Lightning Spearman
This is a Fighter subclass
‘’A fighter walks through the arena with a strange spear, all of a sudden he takes a Dash and slice his enemy’’
‘’A fighter with a peculiar spear aims far in the sky, as the dragon crosses his sight, he shoots a Lightning from the top of it’s spear, right in the dragons belly”
‘’A noble knight rushes through the battlefield, direct to a huge enemy. As they get close, his enemy hits him with a deadly strike. Or so he thought. The noble knight quickly dodged his attack landing another attack right to his knee’’
This is a subclass designed for noble, honored fighters who want to help their people and their king. This subclass was based in, even though it has nothing to deal with, Ornstein, The Dragonslayer, from Dark Souls and its strange Lightning Spear.
Disclaimer: this subclass hasn’t been playtested.
