Unarmored Defense[edit]

At level 1, Your Hanma genetics have perfected your body and your senses. When not wearing armor or shields, your AC becomes 10 + your Constitution modifier + your Strength or Dexterity modifier

Martial Arts[edit]

At 1st level, your practice in martial arts grants you the ability to be swift and precise in your battles. You gain the following benefits while unarmed and not wearing any armor or wielding a shield:

• You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strikes.

• You can roll a d4 instead of the normal damage of your unarmed strikes. This die changes as you gain levels, as shown in the Martial Arts column on the Descendant Hanma table.

• When you take the Attack action with an unarmed strike, you can make an unarmed strike as a bonus action. For example, if you take the Attack action, you can also make an unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven't already taken a bonus action this turn.

Hanma Points[edit]

Starting at 2nd level, your martial arts training combined with your genetics makes your techniques deadly. Your Descendant Hanma level determines the number of points you have. You can spend these points to fuel various techniques. You start knowing three techniques, and you learn more as you gain levels in this class.

When you spend a Hanma point, it becomes unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which, all spent points are replenished. You must spend at least 30 minutes of the rest meditating to recover your Hanma points.

Some techniques require your target to make a saving throw to resist the effect of the feature. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Saving throw DC for your techniques = 8 + proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.

Fighter Sense[edit]

At 2nd level, you gain a supernatural sense of when things nearby are not as they should be, giving you an increased chance to avoid dangers. You have advantage on Dexterity saving throws against effects that you can see, such as traps and spells. To receive this benefit, you cannot be blinded, deafened, or incapacitated.

<!-Subclass Feature->[edit]

<!-At <!-insert level-> level, you chose a <!-insert name of subclass feature i.e. path, archetype, discipline, etc.->. Choose between <!-list the subclass options->, <!-all/both-> detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at <!-insert the level when subclass features begin-> and again at <!-list all the levels the class gains subclass features->.->

Ability Score Improvement[edit]

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th 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.
