Combat Stamina (5e Variant Rule)
From D&D Wiki
Combat Stamina[edit]
(This is an Alternative energy system for combat focused classes (Fighter, Barbarian, Ranger, Rogue Paladin and Monk) to make combat more exciting and interesting for them, please ask your DM's permission to use this system!!!)
- The Player can perform a host of combat abilities using their stamina which is cumulative with other combat feats.
- Characters wearing medium, light, or no armor can reduce the stamina point cost from all abilities by 1.
- Total Stamina Pool; is equal to Character total class level plus their constitution modifier plus their proficiency bonus.
- Stamina Point Rejuvenation: A player can take an entire Full Action to recover their stamina points (So no attacks, actions, or movement) in one round and they will recover all their Stamina points for the next round. If they take a 1 full attack action or a movement action they only recover Stamina points equal to their Constitution modifier plus their proficiency modifier.
