Demigod

At 21st level, you begin to surpass the capabilities of regular mortals as you slowly become godlike, emulating the things that make you a fighter and transforming you into a minor deity in your own right. Your creature type changes from humanoid to celestial, but you keep your subtype (i.e human or dragonborn). In addition, features and effects that normally can’t increase your ability scores above 20 can now increase your ability scores to a maximum of 24 instead.

From this point on, your physical features slowly change as you gain levels in this class. For example, your eyes might glow whenever you cast a spell, your skin might become naturally scarred, or your hair might always be flowing as though there were a breeze. These changes are slow, but by the time you have reached 40th level, you should exemplify several different physical manifestations of your power. Work with your DM to determine what these are and when they start showing up. Finally, you cannot gain levels in any other class.

Additionally, as you gain levels and overcome great challenges, the DM will grant you other features and traits at their discretion in relation to your celestialness, particularly one or more epic boons. Your AC and all saving throws also increase by 1.

Improved Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 23rd level, and again at 25th, 28th, 31st, and 34th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 3, or you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2 and another ability score of your choice by 1, or you can increase three ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 24 with this feature.

Combat Tactics

At 24th level, you've honed your skills enough to develop a little but more of your own style of combat, with your ascension granting you the necessary speed and strength to make use of your skills. Choose one of the following options for this feature. You can use this feature during your turn, and you can't do so again until the end of your next turn.:

Agility. You can take the Dodge action without using your action.

Blitz. You can make one weapon attack without using your action.

Safe Retreat. You can take the Disengage action without using your action.

Speed. You can take the Dash action without using your action.

Enhanced Strikes

Beginning at 26th level, you can roll one additional damage die when determining the damage for a hit with a weapon attack.

Tactical Resistance

By 29th level, there is almost no style of combat you cannot handle. If you end your turn after taking the Attack action without using all of the attacks you can make, you gain a bonus to AC and saving throws until the start of your next turn equal to the number of attacks remaining. You also gain this bonus if: you didn't use your action during your turn; you have or gain the ability to use your bonus action to make one or more weapon attacks, but didn't use your bonus action during that turn; or you have the ability to make one or more weapon attacks without using your action, but didn't.

Counterstrike

Starting at 32nd level, you can retaliate against hostile action with ease. Once each turn when a creature deals damage to you, you can make one weapon attack against that creature provided it is within your weapon's reach or range.

Consistent Fighter

At 36th level, whenever you roll damage for a weapon attack, you may roll the damage dice twice and use either total.

Combat Power

At 37th level, your divine connection to the base forces of war and the will to win strengthens, granting you combat abilities possessed by no other. Your Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution scores each increase by 2, to a maximum of 26; one other ability score of your choice increases by 2, to a maximum of 26; you gain one feat of your choice, or if your DM does not allow feats you instead increase any one ability score of your choice by 2, to a maximum of 28; and rolling a 1 on an attack roll no longer causes you to automatically miss.

Soldier of the Gods

At 40th level, your transformation from mortal to god is complete. Your DM will grant you one boon from the list of Epic Boons in the Dungeon Master’s Guide after taking suggestions from you. In addition, you may make a single weapon attack on each of your turns (no action required by you). You also gain sufficient power to grant divine powers to one creature, beginning your ascent to true godhood.

Martial Archetype

Champion

Improved Fighting Style

At 22nd level, you can choose a third option from the Fighting Style class feature. Alternatively, you can choose any option from the Fighting Style class feature to gain as your Fighting Form. Your Fighting Form provides the same benefits as the Fighting Style option you chose.

Supreme Critical

Starting at 27th level, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 17-20.

Incredible Athlete

Starting at 30th level, you add your proficiency bonus to all Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution checks that you aren’t already proficient with.

In addition, when you make a running high jump, the distance you can cover increases by a number of feet equal to your Strength modifier, and all of your jump distances (including your running high jump) increase by a number of feet equal to the length of your legs (in feet, rounded down).

Regenerative

At 35th level, your celestial nature allows you to surpass what was previously the pinnacle of resilience in battle. At the end of each of your turns, you benefit from your Survivor feature.

Masterful Critical

Starting at 39th level, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 16-20.

Battle Master

Battle Mastery

At 22nd level, you learn special maneuvers called Operations, which are fueled by mastery dice.

Operations. You learn one additional maneuver and two operations of your choice, which are detailed under “Operations” below. Many operations modify a turn in some way. You can use only one operation each turn.

You learn an additional operation and an additional maneuver of your choice at 27th level, and again at 35th level. Each time you learn a new operation, you can also replace one operation you know with a different one.

Mastery Dice. You have three mastery dice, which are d4s. A mastery die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended mastery dice when you finish a short or long rest.

You gain another mastery die and another superiority die at 27th level, and again at 35th level.

Saving Throws. Some of your operations require your targets to make saving throws to resist the operation’s effects. Your operations use the same saving throw DC as your maneuvers.

Professor of Combat

At 22nd level, when you make an ability check using a set of artisan’s tools you are proficient with, you double your proficiency bonus for that check.

Acquainted with your Foe

Beginning at 27th level, your demigod status allows you to quickly learn the key attributes of your opponents, even in the heat of the moment. You can learn one of the characteristics from the Know Your Enemy feature the first time you hit a creature with a weapon attack on your turn. Additionally, when you use your Know Your Enemy feature, the DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the following characteristics of your choice:

• Intelligence score
• Wisdom score
• Charisma score
• Movement speed
• Average damage of one of its attacks
• Spellcasting ability modifier (if any)
• Total spell slots (if any)

You can learn no more than 2 characteristics from your Know Your Enemy feature using this feature.

Improved Battle Mastery

At 30th level, your mastery dice turn into d6s. At 39th level, they turn into d8s.

Unstoppable

Starting at 35th level, when you roll initiative and have no mastery dice, you regain 1 mastery die. Additionally, when you roll for initiative you regain 1 superiority die.

Operations

The operations are presented in alphabetical order.

Anti-Resistance. At the beginning of your turn, you can expend one operation die to give yourself vulnerability to all damage types except for a number of damage types equal to the roll of the die until the start of your next turn. In return, each creature you hit with a weapon attack this turn loses all damage resistances and immunities until the start of its next turn. If a creature doesn’t normally have any damage resistances or immunities, it gains vulnerability to damage dealt by you until the end of your turn. You add the operation die to the damage roll of each of your attacks until the end of your turn. Your attacks cut through the natural defenses of your foes.

Death Strikes. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can expend one operation die to make two fewer weapon attacks than you normally would. Attacks you make with this action have a penalty to the attack roll equal to twice the roll of the operation die, but are critical hits if they hit, and they deal an additional amount of damage equal to 5 times the roll of the operation die. You can strike with deadly force, obliterating those who dare to oppose you.

Decapitator. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can expend one operation die to forfeit all but one of your attacks for that action in an attempt to instantly kill your opponent. You make your attack with advantage, and if you score a critical hit on your opponent it dies if it doesn’t: have legendary actions; have a head; or require that head to survive. If the creature does not die, your critical hit multiplies the damage dice by the combined roll of your operation die plus the number of forfeited attacks. If you did not score a critical hit but still hit, you deal an additional number of damage dice equal to the roll of the operation die plus the number of forfeited attacks. You take careful aim as you try to end the fight in one, decisive blow.

Fluid Movements. At the beginning of your turn, you can expend one operation die and add the roll to each of your weapon attack rolls until the end of your turn. You must use your action to take the Attack action on this turn, and you must use your full movement. However, opportunity attacks against you this turn have a penalty equal to the roll of the operation die. You weave through the fray, elegantly cutting down your foes as you dance past their guard.

Jaunt. At the beginning of your turn, you can expend one operation die to go on a jaunt through the ranks of your enemies. You cannot make any attacks during this turn, and entering the reach of an enemy provokes an opportunity attack. A creature that you provoke an opportunity attack from during this turn must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be forced to make that opportunity attack. You can cause a creature that misses you with an opportunity attack this turn to fall prone and have its speed reduced to 0 until the end of its next turn, to a maximum number of creatures equal to the roll of the die. You carefully provoke your foes, then punish them for their foolish attempt to hit someone so obviously trying to provoke them.

Offense/Defense. At the beginning of your turn, you can expend one operation die to increase both your ability to strike and your ability to avoid being struck. Until the end of your turn, you gain a bonus to each of your attack and damage rolls equal to the roll of the operation die, reducing the bonus by 1 with each hit you score. At the end of your turn, your AC increases by twice the amount left over from your operation die, lasting until the beginning of your next turn. Those who avoid your wrath find that you are impossible to harm.

Revenger. At the end of your turn, you can expend one operation die to give yourself a number of additional reactions for the round equal to the roll. Until the start of your next turn, you may make one melee weapon attack against a creature that deals damage to you that is within your weapon’s reach as a reaction to when you take damage from that creature. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” is the rule that others should follow when dealing with you.

Zenith Striker. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can expend one operation die to turn all of your attacks into overhead assaults. Each attack you make for the rest of the turn is made with disadvantage, but each hit you score is a critical hit that deals additional damage equal to the roll of the operation die. You swing your weapons with the extra force of gravity, pushing down on your foes as you force them into the ground.

Eldritch Knight

Armament Connection

At 22nd level, you can forge a bond with up to five weapons at once, rather than two. In addition, you can summon up to two of your weapons at once provided you have one unoccupied hand for each weapon.

In addition, you can use your bonds to, rather than form a bond with a weapon, form a bond with a stack of ammunition for a ranged weapon instead. You can bond with up to ten pieces of ammunition at once with a single bond, and summoning single pieces of ammunition to your hand requires no action from you. You can also use your bonds to form a bond with up to two thrown weapons at once.

Any weapon or ammunition that you are bonded with is considered magical for the purposes of overcoming damage resistances and immunities.

Superior War Magic

Starting at 27th level, when you use your action to cast a spell, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action or without using any actions. You can’t have done anything else that didn't require any actions, such as opening a door, pulling a lever, or interacting with an object, before using this feature to attack without using any actions, nor can you do any of those things after using this feature in that way until the end of the turn.

Supernatural Attack

Beginning at 30th level, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, that creature ceases to benefit from any Magic Resistance, Limited Magic Immunity, or Magic Immunity traits it possesses against spells or magical abilities you use until the end of your next turn.

Mystical Dash

At 35th level, you gain the ability to teleport up to 10 feet to an unoccupied space you can see when you make a weapon attack on your turn. You can teleport before or after the attack.

Supreme War Magic

Starting at 39th level, when you use your action to cast a spell, you can choose to use your Superior War Magic feature twice, of which one of the uses must be to make one weapon attack as a bonus action. Alternatively, you can use your action to take both the Cast a Spell and the Attack actions, but doing so causes you to gain 1 level of exhaustion afterwards.
