Base Class: Monk
Two people are fighting in a pub when one of them reaches into his pocket for his brass knuckles. however, the other man could call out that the man had placed his brass knuckles in his back pocket. he then started off strong having the opponent scared a bit for these calls. the man then attacks the caller but the caller was able to see right thru him. he dodged to the side and managed to attack the man in the back when he wasn't ready.
playing the caller means that you are able to call out things on your opponents, like how they will attack and how to hit them when they're not ready. however, when focusing on one person you leave yourself vulnerable to all other attacks. you must be ready to attack someone in a 1v1 scenario.
Calling your Enemy
Starting at Level 3, You have gained the ability to focus on someone that your fighting. while in combat you can use your Bonis Action to focus on someone when you are focusing on someone you gain the following benefits
* They Have Disadvantage to hit you
* You have advantage on hitting them
* If you hold your action and they try to hit you, you can then attack after they miss and either. hit him with an extra (1d6), or you can attempt to grapple them with advantage. you may also use your reaction for this however you cant do extra damage or grapple them. (you cannot attack with your held action and your reaction unless they attack twice)
* You can make an Insight check to guess what there next move, attack, or line will be. (if you say there next line, roll with advantage on an intimidation role.)
However, when you are focusing you gain some downsides to the people around you.
* Everyone that you are not focused on has advantage on attack rolls, stealth checks, and sleight of hand checks
* If your focus is broken then you must make a Wisdom saving throw or your focus is broken (DC 5 + damage you break) (if the person you're focused on hits you then the DC is 10 + Damage done)
* If they walk out of sight and at the end of your next turn you can't see them you lose focus on them.
* Teammates have a harder time getting your attention. you have disadvantage on anything that helps a teammate, or on them trying to get your attention.
Dodging Attacks
Starting at level 6, You can take dodge and disengage as a bonus action only, however, this dodge only counts for who you are focused on.
Hawk Focas
Starting at level 11, You can now Focus on two things (you can do both focuses on the same action) however you cannot attack both of them if they both miss you.
Surrounded Focus
Starting at level 17, Other opponents don't get advantage to hit you and your DC save is just the damage taken for other opponents, and is 5 + Damage taken for the one you're focusing on.
