Adept Survivor (5e Subclass)

Adept Survivor

Fighter Subclass

You are the epitome of the phrase 'adapt to survive'. Through training and practice, you can adapt your style of combat in order to create a range of benefits or effects in combat

Elemental Resistance

From third level, when hit with an attack using elemental features, (fire, cold, acid, lightning, or thunder) as a reaction, roll a CON save. On a success, reduce the damage done by your Elemental Resistance Modifier. This modifier starts at 1, and can be increased using "Adapt". On a failure reduce the damage by half your Elemental Resistance Modifier. The DC for the save is equal to 10 or half the damage taken, whichever is higher.

Improvise

At third level, you gain the ability to efficiently wield improvised weapons. When attacking with an improvised weapon, add damage equal to 1d4 + your proficiency bonus. The 1d4 increases to 1d6 at level 7 and 1d8 at level 15.

Adapt

From third level, experience is gained in the form of Battle Points, by the destruction of your enemies. Every time you reduce an enemy to 0 hit points, you gain Battle Points. To figure out how many points are gained, roll a dice and add your wisdom modifier. The type of dice is determined in the table below.

Battle Points Dice
Level 3 - 6	2d4
Level 7 - 9	2d6
Level 10 - 14	2d8
Level 15 - 17	2d10
Level 18 - 20	3d8

Battle Points can then be spent on ability increases, these increases only last until your next long rest.

Ability Increases
Defensive Warrior	10 Points	+ 1 to AC.
Undying	15 Points	+ 5 to Maximum Hit Points.
Experienced Duelist	10 Points	+ 1 to all attack rolls and damage rolls on attacks made with a melee weapon you choose.
Advanced Archer	10 Points	+ 1 to all attack rolls and damage rolls on attacks made with a ranged weapon you choose.
Elemental Resistance Boost	2 Points	+ 1 to Elemental Resistance feature modifier.
Accelerate	15 Points	+ 5 to movement.

Battle Points can also be spent on one time effects:

Ability Effects
Show of Strength	3 Points	You gain advantage on your next attack.
Revitalise	3 Points	You regain 2d4 hit points.
Stamina	5 Points	You regain one lost hit dice.
Cleansing	8 Points	One of any effect (paralysis, exhaustion, etc) on you is cancelled.
Refresh	12 points	(Can only be used from level 7) Refills the one use of "Overcome" you have .
Annihilation	15 Points	(Can only be used from level 10) A roll of 18+ is critical. Increases to 17+ from level 15.

Overcome

From level 7, when you drop to 0 hit points, you instead drop to 1 hit point. 1 use per rest, increasing to 2 uses at level 10, 3 uses at level 15, and 4 uses at level 18.

Survival Instincts

Due to your extensive experience of battle, from level 10, you can no longer be surprised, and your initiative bonus increases by 2, and increases by another 1 for every odd level past 10

Survivalist's Observation

At level 10, any enemy to which you deal damage grants you Battle Points upon its death. At Level 15, any enemy killed within 60ft of you that you can see or hear also grants Battle points.

Additional Fighting Style

Your many years of combat have led to you specialising in multiple areas of expertise. At level 15, take an additional fighting style from the Fighter list. This cannot be the same as a fighting style you already have.

Survivor

At 18th level, you attain the pinnacle of resilience in battle. At the start of each of your turns, you regain hit points equal to 5 + your Constitution modifier if you have less than half of your hit points left. You don't gain this benefit if you have 0 hit points
