Elite Champion

The elite champion focuses on becoming a tuned fighting machine.

Critical Focus

Also at third level you can augment your critical strikes, choose one of the following Critical Focuses when you critically hit:

● Brutal Focus. When you critically hit a creature, they take extra damage equal to half your fighter level (rounded up).

● Cruel Focus. When you critically hit a creature, they must succeed on a strength saving throw or be knocked prone.

● Slashing Focus. When you critically hit a creature, they must succeed on a dexterity saving throw or it can't take reactions until the start of its turn.

Focus Save: 8 + Proficiency Bonus + either Strength or Dexterity Modifier

Champion's Focus

Finally, as a bonus action, you take a moment to attune to the flow of battle. For the rest of this turn, whenever you make an attack roll that lets you add your proficiency bonus, you can treat a d20 roll of 1 or 2 as a 3, and the range for a critical hit is increased by 1. (For example, if it is 19-20, it is now 18-20 for the turn.) You may not use this bonus action in the same turn you used action surge, and you may not use action surge on the same turn after using this bonus action. You may use this ability once, regaining use of it on a short rest. At 18th level, you may use this ability twice between short rests, and you now treat a 1, 2, or 3 as a 4. In addition, your critical hit range increases by an additional 1 (16-20).

Improved Critical

Beginning when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20.
