To conquer, one must first attain strength, and to do so one must first survive. Starting at 1st level, when you or anything within 5ft of you is hit by a melee attack, you may use a reaction to increase the target's AC by your proficiency bonus. The AC increase is immediately lost after the attack is resolved, regardless of its results.

Movement

Speed is crucial for a conqueror, both to reach their enemies, and to run from certain doom. Starting at 1st level, you can take the Dash action as a bonus action.

Additionally, so long you are dashing you can move and run along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move, and you can ignore difficult terrain.

Second Wind

No creature is invulnerable, and you are no exception, but a momentary breather can greatly prolong your life during a fight. Starting at 2nd level, you can use a bonus action to regain hit points equal to 1d12.

Archery

You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

Defense

While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

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 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.

You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.

Learn and adapt

Your path is a bloody one, and there is no better teacher than the battlefield. Starting at 3rd level, you gain the following beenfits:

Limit Break

Many are unwilling to push themselves too far, afraid of the consequences, but your path has no room for this fear, whether you like it or not. Starting at 3rd level, you may break your limits for 1 minute as a bonus action, gaining the following benefits:

• Your AC increases by your proficiency bonus.

• You gain resistance to all damage, except psychic damage.

• You double your proficiency bonus with Constitution checks and saving throws.

• The bonuses granted by Awakening are doubled.

You may break your limits a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus + your consitution modifier, regaining all uses after a long rest. This ability, however, is extremely taxing on the body, and you gain 1 level of exhaustion once its effects wear out.

Counter

The best defense is a good offense, one that can stop your foes on their tracks. Starting at 3rd level, whenever a creature within 5 ft of you targets you with a melee attack, you can make a melee attack against them as a reaction. If this attack hits, you deal damage as normal, and they gain disadvantage on their attack roll.

Extra Attack

Starting at 5th level, you can attack twice, rather than once, whenever you take the Attack action. The number of attacks increases to three at 11th level.

Tactics

While it is possible to overcome many things alone, it is undeniably easier to do so with allies. Starting at 5th level, you gain advantage on attack rolls against creatures if at least one of your allies is within 5ft of it, provided that ally is not incapacitated.

There is nothing that cannot be destroyed

If it exists, you can break it. Starting at 5th level, your attacks are treated as magical for the purposes of ignoring resistances and immunities.

Taunt

You have faced so many odds by yourself that you know how to draw the attention of your foes. Starting at 6yh level, as a bonus action you can force all creatures within 30 feet of you to make a wisdom saving throw against a DC of 8 + your Proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifer. A creature that fails this save has disadvantage on all attacks and ability checks it performs, so long the target isn't you, and spends twice as much movement when moving in any direction other than yours. This feature lasts for 1 minute, and the affected creatures can make the saving throw again at the start of each of their turns.

You can use this feature a number of times equal t oyour proficiency bonus, regaining all uses on a long rest.

Power of confidence

Confidence, when used properly, makes an immense difference in combat. Starting at 6th level, you gain +1 to your AC, attack rolls, damage rolls and saving throws. This bonus increases to +2 at 10th level, +3 at 16th level and +4 at 20th level.

Studied Strike

Not all foes are the same, and some require more of your attention than others. Starting at 7th level, you can spend a bonus action to focus on a target that you can see, concentrating on it like a spell. For the next minute you gain a bonus to your attack rolls and saving throws equal to your proficiency bonus against that target, but disadvantage on all attack rolls, ability checks and saving throws against any other creature.

If you stop concentrating on your target, this feature ends early. If you use this feature again on a different target, this feature ends on your previous target.

Favored Mount

You can't always rely on allies, as they leave you or die in the battlefield, so you split your soul for an eternal friend. Starting at 7th level, you can perform an 8 hours ritual to create a bond with a creature or vehicle at least one size larger than you. Once the bond is complete, the creature or vehicle become an extension of yourself... with you becoming an extension of it should it have any consciousness... and you gain the following benefits:

• Mounting or dismounting your bond costs only 5 feet of movement, rather than half of your speed.

• While you are riding your bond, you may redirect any spells, attacks or effects that target it, forcing them to target you instead.

• While you are riding your bond, you may share any effects you are affected by with them.

• While in combat, you can have your bond act in your initiative, immediately after or before you.

• If your bond has no consciousness, it will obey you and only you, though you may order it to obey other creatures. Magical and non-magical effects cannot control your bond, and it will always attempt to return to you unless ordered otherwise.

• If your bond has consciousness, it will not be capable of disobeying your commands, though it may act in any way it desire, provided their actions do not conflict with any command you give it. Magical and non-magical effects cannot control your bond, provided they don't originate from you, and it will always know your exact location.

If your bond dies, you can bring them back to life during a long rest, spending 1 hour and 500 GP worth of herbs and incense. Your bond ends if you bond to another creature or vehicle, or if you perform an 8 hours ritual to end your bond.

This is my mind, this is my power

The only thing greater than your physical prowess is the very power contained by your belief in yoruself. Starting at 8th level, you can deal 1d8 additional damage with every attack you perform, with the damage varying according to your alignment. If your target has an alignment that is opposite to yours, the damage is increased to 2d8 instead.

Alignment Good : Radiant

Alignment Neutral : Force

Alignment Evil : Necrotic

From faith to power

If gods grow in power through faith, you should be able to do the same. Starting at 9th level, you gain a number of faith points equal to your charisma modifier, and may spend any amount of faith points to empower attack rolls, damage rolls, ability checks and saving throws you make. For every faith point spend you can add +1 to your attack roll, +2 to your damage roll, +2 to your ability check or +1 to your saving throw. The type of any damage granted by this feature depends on your alignment, as shown below:

Alignment Good : Radiant

Alignment Neutral : Force

Alignment Evil : Necrotic

If the DM determines that a creature believes in you sufficiently to be considered a follower, your faith points are increased by 1. If the DM determines that a creature lost sufficient belief in you to no longer be considered a follower, your faith points are decreased by 1.

You regain a number of faith points equal to your charisma modifier after a short rest, and all faith points after a long rest.

Primary Target

• You can add your intelligence to your attack and damage rolls.

• When you kill an enemy, all creatures that can see you become frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

Guts

Your bloody path has elicited death's caress time and time again, but your resilience defies her calls. Starting at 14th level, you add your proficiency bonus to your death saving throws, and you regain 1 hit point when you are stabilized. Additionally, if you were to instantly die as a result of a spell or effect, and your hit points are greater than 0, you drop to 0 hit points instead.

Empowered

Prowess itself is not enough, sometimes you need to draw power from within. Starting at 14th level, you may draw a surge of power from within your body, gaining one additional action until the end of your turn. Immediately after you take this action, you must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw, gaining 1 level of exhaustion on a failure. The DC increases by 5 immediately after your saving throw, regardless if you succeeded or failed.

You can use this feature once per turn. The DC of this feature is reduced by 5 when you finish a short rest, to a minimum of 10, and reset to 10 when you finish a long rest.

Menace

Your experience taught you how to make the best use of your tools in the simplest form possible. Starting at 15th level, you deal one additional damage die with your attacks. You may change the damage type of this additional damage to the same damage type of your alignment, as shown below:

Alignment Good : Radiant

Alignment Neutral : Force

Alignment Evil : Necrotic

While you are your own source of power, there are others whose value is far too great for you. Starting at 15th level, when an ally within your movement speed is targeted by an attack, you may use a reaction to move in their direction. IF you end this movement within 5ft of the target, you become the new target of the attack.

Perfect Being

No matter the enemy, they will all fall to you. Starting at 16th level, when you roll initiative you gain a number of points equal to the highest CR you are facing (minimum of 1). You may use these points to grant a bonus to your AC, attack rolls, damage rolls, ability checks or saving throws until the end of combat. You can arrange the points however you want, but an individual bonus granted by this feature cannot be greater than your proficiency bonus, and you cannot rearrange these points after arranging them.
