Inhuman Strikes[edit]
Also at 1st level, you always naturally packed a punch due to your fiendish strength. You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed and you aren't wearing armour or wielding a shield:
- You can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike and natural weapons. This die changes as you gain Bastion levels, as shown in the Inhuman Strikes column of the Bastion table.
- When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action.
Unarmored Defense[edit]
Also at 1st level, you have learned how to naturally endure hits. While not wearing armour or wielding a shield, your AC is 11 + your Strength modifier + your Charisma modifier.
Fiendish Regeneration[edit]
By rapidly regrowing the cells in your body, you can heal yourself at an accelerated rate compared to humans.
At 2nd level, as a bonus action, you may spend a number of usages of you devil power up to your Constitution modifier. Per Fear point spent you will regain a d10’s worth of hit points.
Lesser Power[edit]
As a fiend, your power has been extremely dampened, but you are still able to muster enough demonic energy to use it in combat.
You have a number of usages of your devil power equal to your level + your Charisma (Minimum of 2). When you spend a usage of your devil power, it becomes unavailable until you finish a short or long rest, at the end of which you regain all usages.
If a devil power calls for a saving throw or attack roll, it is calculated as the following:
Power save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma
Power Attack Modifier = 8 + your proficiency bonus + Charisma
Heavyweight Style[edit]
At 3rd level, you have trained hard with your body, acquiring your own path of destruction. You must choose one of the paths located at the end of the page. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level, 5th, 11th and 17th level.
Heavy Manoeuvres[edit]
At 3rd level, you’ve begun to use your fiendish strength and endurance in formidable ways. You gain two Heavy Manoeuvres you meet the prerequisites of from the Heavy Manoeuvres list.
To use Heavy Manoeuvres you must spend usages of your Devil Power.
Whenever you gain a level in the Heavyweight class, you can change one of your Heavy Manoeuvres for another one you meet the prerequisites of.
At 5th level, you gain one additional Heavy Manoeuvre, and another one at 9th, 13th and 17th levels.
Ability Score Improvement[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 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.
Extra Attack[edit]
At 5th level, you can now attack twice instead of once when you take the attack action.
Resistant[edit]
At 7th level, training your body has allowed yourself to become able to resist certain area effects. Choose one of the following ability scores to receive a benefit:
- Brawn - Strength
- Evasion - Dexterity
- Endurance - Constitution
- Discernment - Intelligence
- Intuition - Wisdom
- Repulsion - Charisma
You can only choose the option associated with a certain ability score if you have a 16 or higher in that ability score. If none of your ability scores are at or above 16 you may only choose the one that is your highest, or any of your highest in the case of a tie. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a saving throw of the chosen ability to only take half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail. You can choose another saving throw at 20th level.
Unmoveable[edit]
At 9th level, your strength has made you nearly impossible to move.
Whenever a creature attempts to move you by force, you will count as a size larger. Additionally, when attempting to resist an effect that would force you to move you may add your strength modifier to the roll (even if it was already added).
Titanic Presence[edit]
At 10th level, your connection to the infernal realm has granted you unparalleled strength, and your presence on the battlefield is enough to shake the very earth beneath you.
You count as one size larger for all purposes, including determining your reach and carrying capacity.
Hellbound Resilience[edit]
At 13th level, Your fiendish vitality makes you incredibly hard to bring down. When you drop to 0 hit points but aren't killed outright, your infernal strength refuses to allow you to fall easily. You can roll a hit die and regain hit points equal to the roll plus your Constitution modifier.

At 15th level, your fiendish nature has made you difficult to waver in the face of fear. You may your Constitution modifier to saving throws against the frightened condition.
