Gravitonic Master, 2nd Variant (5e Class)

Gravitonic Master

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, the 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 unpenetrable 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 hear 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 throat and before his prey can even recognize there was a threat the second strike has already come.

This is a more balanced version of the Gravitonic Master Class, designed to more closely resemble the monk in its point distribution and a fighter in its capability while still holding true to the original.

Gravity Save DC

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.

Unarmored Defense

When you are not wearing armor, your Armor Class is 10 + your Dexterity modifier and Constitution modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

Weightless Touch

Your manipulation of gravity makes things you wear feel almost weightless. You gain 10 extra pounds of carry weight per level in this class after. Also, weapons lose the "heavy" property and gain the "versatile" property.

Gravitonic Force

As a reaction you can use gravitational energy to forcefully pull a creature within 30ft of yourself, that is your size or smaller. The target must make a Strength saving throw (DC 15). On a failed save the target is pulled (your choice) 10 ft towards you in a straight line. If the target creature is an ally, they can choose to succeed or fail the save, instead of rolling. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence Modifier. You regain all uses of this feature on a Short or Long Rest.

Fighting Style

At 2nd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Archery

You gain a +2 to attack rolls you make with a ranged weapon.

Defense

While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Dueling

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.

Great Weapon Fighting

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 two hands, you can re-roll the die and must use the new roll. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Protection

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.

Two-Weapon Fighting

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack. Also, you may dual-wield one-handed weapons as light weapons.

Gravity Points

By 2nd level, your training has taught you how to harness the force of gravity. Your access to this force is represented by a number of gravity points. Your Gravitonic Master level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Gravity Points column of the Gravitonic Master table. You can spend these points to fuel various gravity features. You can regain a number of gravity points equal to your Gravity Die during a short rest. You regain all gravity points after a long rest.

Gravity Infusion

Starting at 2nd level, you know how to imbue gravity into your weapon. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend gravity points to deal force damage to the target, in addition to the weapon's damage. The extra damage is 1d6 for 1 gravity point, plus 1d6 for each additional gravity point, up to ½ of your proficiency bonus. For example, a 9th-level Gravitonic Master could spend up to 2 gravity points to deal 2d6 additional force damage. At 9th level, you use a d8 instead of a d6. Gravity infusion increases to a d10 at 17th level
