In addition, when wielding a longsword and not wielding a shield nor wearing armor, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your proficiency bonus.
Total Concentration Breathing[edit]
Starting at 2nd level, you learn how to use a special breathing technique that enhances your physical traits and enable you to fight demons. Your access to this energy is represented by a number of breathing points. Your Breath of Thunder level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the breathing Points column of the Breath of Thunder table.
You can spend these points to fuel various breathing features. You start knowing three such features: Increased Strength, Increased Stamina, and Increased Speed. You learn more breathing features as you gain levels in this class.
When you spend a breathing point, it is unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you draw all of your expended breathing back into yourself. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to regain your breathing points.
Some of your breathing features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Breathing save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier
- Increased Strength
You can spend 1 breathing point when making a Strength based attack, check or save to gain Advantage on that check. In addition, you use your Constitution modifier, rather than Strength, when you do so, if it is higher.
- Increased Endurance
You can spend 1 breathing point to gain Advantage on a Constitution check, saving throw or death saving throw.
- Increased Speed
You can spend 1 or more breathing point to move to an unoccupied space within 5 feet per point as a bonus action. The maximum number of points you can spend equals your proficiency bonus. This movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks.
