Path of the Warrior

In the elder clans of the ancient times, when the clash of steel was the language of legends, there arose a select few warriors who transcended mere brute strength. These martial masters, bound by code and discipline, carved their names into history with a balance of might and strategy. Warriors of this path are revered not only for their ferocity in battle but for their ability to turn the tide of conflict through sheer tactical brilliance. They don armour and wield weapons with practiced ease, striking with an artistry that belies their primal rage. Their training has imbued them with the ability to strike with multiple blows in a single action, delivering powerful attacks while leveraging their combat experience to gain the upper hand. Embodying the spirit of ancient heroes, those who walk the Path of the Warrior are a force to be reckoned with—unyielding in defence, relentless in assault, and ever vigilant in their pursuit of victory.

Warrior's Fury

When you use your action to make a weapon attack, if any creature is within 5 feet of your primary target, you can use a bonus action to make an additional melee weapon attack against one of those adjacent creatures. This attack deals half the damage you inflicted on the primary target (rounded down).
