Unarmoured Defence

Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armour and not wielding a shield, your AC equals 8 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.

Part of the Force

At 1st level, you receive a Fire Force Uniform which is used to show membership in the Fire Force and also acts as a layer of protection.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 15th, 16th, 18th 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.

You may also ignore this increase to instead gain a Feats.

Extra Attack

Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, when you use the Attack action during your turn. The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 17th level.

Increased Utility

At 6th level, you've become practiced in the items that the fire force uses allowing you to deploy 3 fire force items within one action.

Resistant

At 7th level, your strength as a soldier allows you to resist certain area effects, such as a blue dragon’s lightning breath or a fireball spell. Choose one of the following ability scores:

Brawn - Strength

Evasion - Dexterity

Endurance - Constitution

Discernment - Intelligence

Intuition - Wisdom

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. At 20th level, you can choose one additional saving throw.

Fire Force Variant Rules

Momentum Feats

When a soldier approaches death, they may strengthen their bodies or awaken to new abilities. This rule serves as an alternative ways to get feats, meaning you just need to do certain acts on the campaign to unlock them.

Multiclassing

Prerequisites. To qualify for multiclassing into other unpowered classes by moving levels into other unpowered classes, you must meet these prerequisites: 14 Intelligence.
