Air of Authority

Source DATP

Once per scene, you can make a Charisma + level “attack” against the highest MD in the room. If you succeed, you can hush a room, stop a mob, or convince a bunch of thugs that you are not to be messed with.

Adventurer Feat Add an appropriate background to the Charisma roll.

Champion Feat Once per day, if you succeed at the Charisma check but a fight still starts, set the escalation die to 1 at the start of the battle.

Battlemaster 

Source DATP

You gain a bonus fighter maneuver.

When you spend a feat on a fighter maneuver, also gain a feat of the same tier (adventurer, champion, epic) with a different fighter maneuver for free.

Bravado 

Source 13FTM

Once per battle as a quick action, roll 1d20 + Charisma + your level against a nearby target’s MD. If successful, that target’s AC and PD against your attacks and powers are reduced by the escalation die value for the remainder of the combat.

Special: If you target a mook with this ability, it affects every member of their mob.

Adventurer Feat Using bravado is now a free action. Once a day, you may use this ability twice in a battle.

Champion Feat The target’s attack and damage rolls against you are also reduced by the escalation die value for the remainder of the combat.

Epic Feat Once staggered, the target of this power also becomes hampered. It may make a normal save (11+) at the start of each turn to negate the condition for that turn only.

Bravado 

Source DATP

Once per battle, as a standard action, you can pull off an attack that is outside of what is normally covered by the rules. Smash a pillar to collapse the ceiling. Flip a table and charge into a wall of enemies with it. Smash an enemy into an open pit of lava. Improvise. Your GM will help you with the specifics, such as how many enemies you can catch, what the damage would be, and any additional effects. This talent allows you to pull off the stunt without additional skill checks, but you still need to roll to attack.

Attacks made with this talent don’t trigger fighter maneuvers.

Adventurer Feat You have advantage on your Bravado attack roll.

Brute 

Source DATP

Add your level to the damage on a hit with fighter melee attacks.

Adventurer Feat You have advantage on Strength-based skill checks to damage or destroy things.

Champion Feat When you reduce a target to zero hit points, deal the remaining damage to a different nearby enemy (as if every enemy were a mook).

Epic Feat If you kill an enemy, gain a +1 bonus to your next melee attack.

Combat Challenge 

Source DATP

When you make a fighter attack against an enemy you are engaged with, you mark the target. The mark ends when you are no longer engaged with the target, or when the target makes an attack against you.

While the target is marked, it takes a -2 penalty to attacks that do not target you. When the marked enemy makes an attack that does not target you, you can make a basic melee attack against it as an interrupt action.

Adventurer Feat If a marked enemy can pop free from you through an ability, it still has to succeed at a disengage check, otherwise it stays engaged.

Champion Feat You can use fighter maneuvers with interrupt attacks triggered by the mark.

Epic Feat Marked enemies must succeed at a disengage check even if they use a teleport or similar powers to get away from you, otherwise the teleport fails and it stays engaged.

Cry for Glory

Adventurer Feat You can use Charisma instead of Dexterity or Constitution with your fighter maneuvers and your Threatening class feature.

Epic Feat Gain a second battle cry as a bonus maneuver, of up to 4 levels below your class level.

Eldritch Knight

Champion Feat Gain one wizard utility spell as a bonus power.

Epic Feat You can use Mark with Sigil once per battle.

Fencer 

Source DATP

Adventurer Feat Increase your base AC to 11 without armor and 14 in light armor.

Champion Feat Increase your base PD in light or no armor to 11.

Epic Feat Add your Dexterity modifier to disengage checks when wearing light or no armor.

First To Arms 

Source 13FTM

At the start of a battle, you may spend a recovery in order to go before an enemy of your choice (effectively claiming the initiative count immediately before that creature’s). If more than one creature in a fight uses this maneuver against the same target, the creature with the highest Dexterity modifier goes first (roll 1d20 to break any ties).

Adventurer Feat When you use this maneuver, you gain a bonus to your AC equal to the higher of your Dexterity or Wisdom modifier until the end of your next turn.

Champion Feat When you use this maneuver, you also gain a bonus to your PD equal to the higher of your Dexterity or Wisdom modifier until the end of your next turn.

Epic Feat As a quick action, you may spend a recovery at the end of each of your turns in this battle to dodge more vigorously, extending the duration of the above AC and PD bonuses by yet another turn. Once you skip doing this on a turn, however, you can’t regain the bonus again during this battle.

Javelineer 

Source EF

Your thrown weapon attacks use Strength instead of Dexterity for both the attack bonus and damage.

Adventurer Feat You can draw a weapon as a free action after making a thrown attack. (It doesn’t need to be another thrown weapon.)

Champion Feat Missed thrown attacks deal damage equal to your level.

Epic Feat You have access to a heavy pilum, a weighted spear that does 1d8 damage. It otherwise behaves like a javelin and counts as a light or simple weapon.

Lock & Load 

Source DATP

You can reload a heavy crossbow as a quick action instead of a move action.

When you spend a quick action to reload a crossbow of any type, you gain a +2 bonus to critical threat range on your next attack with it this turn.

Adventurer Feat You can trigger flexible melee attack maneuvers when making a fighter ranged attack with a crossbow.

Champion Feat Reloading any crossbow is now a free action. You still get the +2 crit range bonus.

Epic Feat Once per battle, you can use a move action to gain advantage on your next attack roll with a crossbow.

Power Block 

Source DATP

Once per battle, you can force an opponent to reroll an attack against your AC or PD. If you wield a shield, the reroll is at a -2 penalty.

Adventurer Feat Increase the reroll penalty to -4 if you wield a shield and the attack is a ranged attack.

Champion Feat When you wield a shield, also gain a +1 bonus to PD.

Epic Feat Increase the AC bonus you gain from a shield to +2.

Resist & Endure

Adventurer Feat Using resist & endure is now a free action. Once a day, you may use this ability twice in a battle.

Champion Feat The affected save automatically succeeds with no roll required when you spend a recovery.

Epic Feat Your first use of resist & endure after a quick rest or full heal-up does not use up a recovery.

Showstopper 

Source DATP

When an enemy triggers an opportunity attack from you, and your opportunity attack is a natural even hit, you cause the triggering action to fail and the enemy loses that action.

Once per battle, when an enemy engaged with you makes an attack that would not trigger an opportunity attack from you normally, you can make an opportunity attack against them anyway.

Adventurer Feat You can use your fighter maneuvers with opportunity attacks.

Champion Feat The triggering action fails on any hit with an opportunity attack.

Epic Feat If an enemy disengages from you with a successful disengage check, you can still make an opportunity attack. However, the attack deals half damage, and you don’t prevent the opponent from moving away.

Tactical Talent 

Source DATP

You gain a commander tactic as a bonus power.

Adventurer Feat You can substitute Intelligence for Dexterity or Constitution with your fighter maneuvers and Threatening class feature. You can substitute Intelligence for Charisma with the commander tactics gained through this talent.

Champion Feat You can switch a fighter maneuver for a commander tactic two levels lower.

Epic Feat One tactic you switched for a fighter maneuver does not take the level penalty.

Taunt 

Source 13FTM

Whether by questioning their parentage, disparaging their shoddy construction, or insulting the icon they serve, you attempt to draw the ire of an enemy. Once per round, you can roll 1d20 + Charisma + your level against a nearby target’s MD as a quick action. If successful, all allies gain resistance 12+ against the target’s attacks and powers until the start of your next turn; however, the target’s crit range on its attacks against you is increased by 2 for the same duration. This effect immediately ends if you don’t remain engaged or nearby the target creature.

Special: If you target a mook with this ability, it affects every member of their mob. A single target (or mob) cannot be affected by more than one character’s Taunt ability at once. A character with this Talent cannot benefit from its use by another character while their Taunt effect is active.

Adventurer Feat If the target of your Taunt attacks one of your allies while affected by this Talent, it takes psychic damage equal to your Charisma modifier. This damage is doubled at 5th level and tripled at 8th.

Champion Feat Your allies’ resistance improves to 16+.

Epic Feat Your allies’ resistance improves to 18+.

Two Healthy Fists 

Source DATP

You do not suffer the standard -2 penalty to unarmed attacks, and your damage die with unarmed melee attacks increases to d8. If you have both hands free, you gain the two-weapon fighting bonus with unarmed attacks (reroll natural 2 on the attack die). If you have your hands full, you can still make unarmed attacks such as kicks and head butts. You can use magic bracers like a monk.

Adventurer Feat When you are grabbed by an attack, you can immediately roll a save to end the effect.

Champion Feat When you roll damage on an unarmed attack, reroll natural 1s once.

Epic Feat Once per battle, roll a save at the start of your turn, in addition to the saves you roll at the end.

Friggin’ Tank 

Source DATP

Increase your base hit points to 10 + Con mod.

Champion Feat When you use a recovery to heal, you gain any hit points above your maximum as temporary hit points. You can take recoveries while you are at maximum hit points. These temporary hit points don’t stack with temporary hit points you already have — use the higher total.

Epic Feat When you are reduced below zero hit points, you remain conscious, and you can still take actions. You still roll death saves normally, and you fall unconscious when you fail a death save.

Mage Slayer 

Source DATP

Once per battle, when an enemy targets you with a spell, you can roll a save (11+) to counter the spell as an interrupt action. Success means the spell has no effect on you. At the GM’s discretion, this ability also protects against monster attacks that are similar to spells, such as the breath of a dragon.

Champion Feat When you successfully counter a spell cast by a nearby enemy, you can pop free from all enemies and charge the caster (engage and make a basic melee attack) as a free action.

Epic Feat If you have a positive icon relationship with the Archmage or a draconic icon, the save is an easy save (6+).

One with the Blade 

Source DATP

Epic Feat Once per day, you can increase the roll by 3 instead.

Second Try 

Source DATP

Each battle, you can use one of your once-per-battle powers a second time. This can be a once-per-battle fighter talent, a fighter maneuver or a racial power.

Epic Feat You can now use two different powers a second time each battle.

Training Montage 

Source EF

Champion Feat You can choose a bard battle cry in place of the extra maneuver, taking any battle cry that a bard of your level could choose.

Epic Feat Take both an additional maneuver beyond your current class maximum and a bard battle cry (chosen as if you were a bard of your level).

Ultimate Combat Reflexes 

Source DATP

In combat, your regular actions, i.e. your standard, move and quick action, are no longer limited to when it is your turn in the initiative order. You can take them any time you like during a round. Make sure to keep track of the actions you have taken during a given round, for example by flipping a card. When you take a regular action in response to what an ally or enemy does, your action resolves after theirs.

This does not affect other combat rules. You still roll initiative, roll saves at the end of your turn, and use interrupt actions, intercepts and opportunity attacks normally, without any changes.

Weapon Specialization

Choose one type of weapon, such as two-handed martial weapons or heavy crossbows. You gain a +1 bonus to attack with this type of weapon.
