Creating a Force Master[edit]
Extending her aura she locks the bandits in place as she slowly works towards them. This is their end they were caught in her field and now must pay the price. Before then can even make a sound a weight of 10 tons crushes them leaving nothing but blood splatter.
Standing at the vanguard of his group he starts to draw the gravity towards him. Stopping the archers that had ambushed his party from injuring his allies. He is a tower of impenetrable might and will stop all who hurt the ones he is trying to protect.
Moving weightlessly from building to building, sometimes on the tops other running up the sides. His prey below doesn't see or her him. He moves without a sound and finds his mark, draws his short sword that could be mistaken for a feather upon holding it. Waits and makes his move slashing the through and before his prey can even recognize there was a threat the second strike has already come.

Force Save DC[edit]
Some of the effects of this class result in a need for your target to make a saving throw to resist the effect. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:
Effect save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.
Furthermore, all abilities of the Force Master are considered non-magical and are purely ability based. The Force Master's abilities are not affected by spells or abilities like Counterspell, Dispel Magic, antimagic cones, ect.
Unarmored Defense[edit]
Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.
Force Points[edit]
Your training has taught you how to harness the force of gravity. In order to do this, you spend what are called force points. You have a number of force points determined by your character level on the Table: The Force Master. You regain all expended force points at the end of a short or long rest.
Weightless Touch[edit]
Your manipulation of gravity makes things you wear feel almost weightless. You suffer no weight penalties from your equipment and you cannot become encumbered by your equipment. You can wield a two-handed weapon as though it were a one-handed weapon. Additionally, you can dual wield weapons that don't have the light property.
Force Cantrip[edit]
At 1st level you gain the Gravity Force[1] cantrip.
Fighting Style[edit]
At 2nd level and then again at level 5, you adopt a special fighting style, called a Force Wave, as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a force wave option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.
- Continuous Force Wave
You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.
- Stochastic Force Wave
While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
- Burst Force Wave
When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
- Compact Binary Inspiral Force Wave
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with one hand, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2.
- Linearly Polarised Force Wave
When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.
- Bipolar Force Wave
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack. Also, you do not take penalties from dual wielding.
Force Infusion[edit]
At 2nd level, you may enhance your strikes on your foes with the force. Once per turn you may expend 1 or more force points to add 1d6 force damage to your next weapon attack and one extra d6 for every extra point spent. You can add a number of damage die this way to a maximum of your proficiency bonus.
Force Pull[edit]
At 4th level, you can use an action on your turn and expend 1 force point to use your force to pull or push objects at a distance. You can move your target up to 30 feet towards or away from you in a straight line as long as the target is within 60 feet of you. If your target is an object being worn or carried by an unwilling creature or a creature itself, the target must succeed in a strength saving throw against your force save DC. If the target weighs more than your carry weight, nothing happens. If the creature or object impacts a solid surface as result of being pushed or pulled, it takes 1d6 points of bludgeoning damage for every 5 feet after 10.
Force Actions[edit]
You may use your force aura to directly attack a creature. When applicable add your Strength modifier + Proficiency Bonus to your Force attacks.
Cutting Wave. As an action, you can expand 1 force point to project your force in a way that allows it to cut through matter from a distance causing 2d6 force damage in a 10ft line. Additionally, you can expand an additional number of gravity points up to your proficiency bonus increasing the damage by 2d6 and extending the line by 5 ft. per additional point spent.
Force Spikes. As an action, you can expand 1 force point to create and project spikes of force in a 10-foot radius centered on a point that you can see within 60 feet of you.

These spikes can be projected in mid-air or generated from the ground.

The vortex has a 10ft radius causing 3d6 force damage.All creatures within the vortex have their speed reduced by 10 ft to a minimum of 5 ft. Additionally, you can choose to expend force points not exceeding your proficiency bonus extending the radius by 5 ft and reducing the affected creatures walking speed by 10 ft per additional point expended to a minimum of 5 ft.
Force Bullet. As an action, you can expand 1 force point to fire bullets of force from your own body outside your gravity aura. The amount of bullets is equal to points spent.
