The Gladiator

Whether you were brought into this occupation as a slave and against your will, or you wanted to become famous and earn many riches. you have risen above the mere pre-show contestants. You are the main performance material. As you leave the dark shelter of the armory and set into the open sun, the Roar of the crowd is intoxicating. Even when not in the arena you wish to make all those who spectate you be filled with fear and admiration. This subclass uses his performance to enhance his battle capabilities by slaying foes.

The Gladiator is a new archetype for the Fighter class that can be chosen at 3rd level. Gladiators rely heavily on performing glorious deed to bolster their already prodigious combat abilities.

 

Crowd Favorite

At 3rd level when you pick this Martial Archetype you gain proficiency in Performance(Charisma) and Intimidation(Charisma) checks.

Pollice verso

Ever since you've entered the ring your only goal was to make the crowd cheer and be terrified at your every move. When you bring a creature hit points to 0, you can either spare the target or butcher them. Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down both share the same amount of uses equal to your Charisma modifier (a minimum of once). If you do not wish to use Pollice Verco you don't have to.

Thumbs Down

Starting at 3rd level, when you bring a creature to 0 hit points you may spare the creature to inspire up to three allies within 30 feet until the start of your next turn as a bonus action. Whenever an inspired creature makes an attack roll or a saving throw, it can add a 1d6 to it. You regain uses when you finish a Long Rest. Your Thumbs Down die changes when you reach certain levels in this archetype. The die becomes a d8 at 7th level, and a d12 at 15th level. If you choose to use Thumbs Down, you cannot use Thumbs Up.

Thumbs up

Starting at 3rd level, when you bring a creature to 0 hit points you may make a fearsome finisher to frighten up to three creatures within 30 feet until the start of your next turn as a bonus action. A frightened creature has disadvantage on Ability Checks and Attack rolls while the source of its fear is within line of sight. Additionally, the creature can't willingly move closer to the source of its fear. You regain uses when you finish Long Rest. If you choose to use Thumbs Up, you cannot use Thumbs down.

Put on a Good Show

Starting at 7th level, you can taunt an opponent. A taunted creature has a minus 1d6 to attack roles to the beginning of your next turn. You deal an additional 1d4 physic damage with every attack done to the taunted creature. If you bring the taunted creatures hit points to 0 you can boast about your kill. You gain 1d6+your charisma modifier of temporary hit points. Only one creature can be taunted at a time. If the creature you taunt is under the effects Thumbs Up, Put on a Good Show overrides Thumbs Up. You can use this a number of times equal to your charisma modifier. You regain uses when you finish a Long Rest. When you reach 12th level the physic damage die increases to 1d6.

Only a Famous Death Will Do

Starting at 10th level, when a taunted creature attempts to attack you, within melee range, you can use your reaction to give the attacker advantage on their first attack. If the creature ends their turn within your melee range, you can make an attack of opportunity, push the creature 10 feet in any direction away from you, or knock them prone.

Are you not entertained?

Starting at 15th level, your lust to perform thrusts you into battle. When rolling initiative, you add your Charisma modifier to the result. Additionally at the start of your first turn of each combat, your walking speed increases by 10 feet, which lasts until the end of that turn.

Emperor's Champion

Starting at 18th level you can now use Pollice Verso after landing a critical hit.
