Close Quarters Battle

At 1st level, your ranged attacks do not have disadvantage if you are within 5 feet of a hostile creature, and you may add your Strength and Dexterity modifiers to your melee damage rolls.

Brawler's Stance

At 2nd level, as a bonus action, you may take up a stance optimized for close-quarter's combat. Until the end of your next turn, your ranged attacks with CQB weapons have advantage against targets within 5 feet of you, and your reach with melee weapons increases by 5 feet.

Enforcer

At 3rd level, you may take the Attack action as a bonus action, but you may only make attacks with melee or CQB weapons when you do so. Additionally, when you take the Attack action as an action or bonus action, you may replace one attack with Brawler's Stance

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Blademaster

At 4th level, while Brawler's Stance is active, your ranged attacks with CQB weapons have advantage against targets within half their effective range. Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you may make an additional melee attack.
