Maid

Fighter subclass

Those that are loyal to their masters and have the utmost respect for them are able to channel their feelings of love and devotion into raw strength in order to protect their master. The maids are taught; the etiquette of the dining room when serving, the precision of folding towels and dusting the master's manor and they have the knowledge of the master's libraries, which allows them to learn and understand different battle tactics in order to protect the one that they care for deeply.

Maiden Duties

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn two Maiden Duties of your choice. Your Maiden Duties options are detailed at the end of the class description. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the Maiden Duties you know and replace it with another Maiden Duty that you could learn at that level. You learn one additional Maiden Duty of your choice at 5th, 9th, 13th and 17th level. Many duties enhance your power to protect your master in some way.

Save DC = Some of your duties require your target to make a saving throw to resist the Maiden Duty's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows: DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice)

Maid Uniform

Your uniform has been tailor made to be protective, nonrestrictive and pleasing to the eyes. Again at 3rd level, you gain access to your Maid Uniform; it counts as a set of fine clothes and while wearing it you gain an Unarmored AC = 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.

Maiden Versatility

As a maid, you've worked on every post for your master and thus have been trained to excel in such tasks. Once more at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in three Artisan's Tools or Musical Instruments.

On the Clock

At 7th level, due to your proficiency with meal preparation you are able spend some of your downtime to prepare a fine meal complete with tea for your companions (Provided you have the ingredients). Those who ate your meal gain 2d8 + your Wisdom modifier temporary hit points if you spent a Short rest to create your meal. And double that if you spent a Long Rest instead.

Undying Loyalty

At 10th level, you can gain the benefits of the Interception and Protection Fighting Style Options without wielding a Shield, but you must have at least one free hand.
