Fighting Style[edit]
You adopt a particular 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 bonus to attack rolls with ranged weapons.
- 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 a 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. 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 make the attack target you instead. You must be wielding a weapon with two hands. This can be done once per short rest
Electrical Weapon[edit]
At first level you have found you can enhance a weapon with electrical magic to make it more effective in combat. During a long rest, you can put this enhancement on a weapon that you are proficient in. This enhancement lasts until you apply this to a different weapon. This enhancement takes the form of extra damage. Once per turn when you make an attack with said weapon, you can do an extra 2 lightning damage to the target. The amount of extra damage increases as you gain levels in the survivor class, as shown in the Electrical Weapon column of the survivor table. Once you reach 4th level, weapons affected by this are considered an uncommon magical item, and have +1 to attack and damage rolls with it. Weapons affected by this also gain the finesse property.
Survivor's Defense[edit]
At second level you have learned to use your proficiency with two handed weapons to make yourself harder to hit. When wielding a two handed weapon you are proficient with, you can add half of your proficiency bonus (rounded down) to your AC. (this also works with a versatile weapon when wielding it with two hands)
Spellcasting[edit]
At second level, you have learned to use your knowledge of the world around you to cast spells. See Chapter 10 of the PHB for the general rules on spellcasting and later in this page for the survivor spell list
- Preparing and Casting Spells
The Survivor table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these survivor spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. You prepare the list of survivor spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the survivor spell list. When you do so, choose a number of survivor spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your survivor level (rounded down)(minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For example, if you are a level 5 survivor, you have four 1st level and two 2nd level spell slots. With a Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include five spells of first or second level, in any combination. Casting a spell does not remove it from your list of prepared spells. You can also change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of spells requires time spent taking in your surroundings and feeling the magic around you: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
- Spellcasting ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your survivor spells, since your magic draws on your knowledge of the magic in your environment. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a survivor spell you cast and when making and attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Path of a Survivor[edit]
At 3rd level, you chose a Path of a Survivor. Choose between Path of Material, Path of Astral, and Path of Shadow, all of which are detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 11th and 17th level.
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.
