Rogue Spirit

The Rising Spirits are an elite group, created in the malevolent interests of an organization, Rising Spirit Technologies (RST) dedicated to creating advanced super-soldiers, capable of carrying out dangerous mission with no remorse or hesitation. While many of these creations failed, the production of newly-invented, magically-enhanced creatures called "nanites" allowed this shadowy group to fully realize their plans, creating the "Rising Spirits." However, for you, it just didn't stick, and you've gone rogue.

Even if you did not have superhuman abilities, you would be a formidable opponent. Carefully selected for your training in many forms of armed and unarmed combat, which make you an excellent fighter and assassin. However, once imbued with the impressive enhancement of nanites, you find yourself a rather impressive foe.

Nanites grant all Rogue Spirits superhuman abilities, however, the cost of creating such a powerful character is the mental toll the psychological conditioning requires. Because these soldiers were able to release themselves from the bonds placed on them by their captors, they are often left broken, trying to recover their identity and the person they were before they were so drastically changed. The constant struggle, anguish, and mistrust of their fluctuating sense of identity and their relationship with the surrounding world impacts their ability to stay resolute in heightened situations.

Needless to say, Rogue Spirits are powerful, explosive, and mentally frail.

Saving Throws. Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver’s effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or Dexterity modifier (your choice)

Maneuvers

The maneuvers are presented in alphabetical order.

Commander’s Strike. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can forgo one of your attacks and use a bonus action to direct one of your companions to strike.

That creature can immediately use its reaction to make one weapon attack, adding the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll.

Disarming Attack. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to disarm the target, forcing it to drop one item of your choice that it’s holding. You add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll, and the target must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, it drops the object you choose. The object lands at its feet.

Distracting Strike. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to distract the creature, giving your allies an opening.

Feinting Attack. You can expend one superiority die and use a bonus action on your turn to feint, choosing one creature within 5 feet of you as your target. You have advantage on your next attack roll against that creature this turn. If that attack hits, add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll.

Goading Attack. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to goad the target into attacking you.

Lunging Attack. When you make a melee weapon attack on your turn, you can expend one superiority die to increase your reach for that attack by 5 feet. If you hit, you add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll.

Maneuvering Attack. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to maneuver one of your comrades into a more advantageous position.

That creature can use its reaction to move up to half its speed without provoking opportunity attacks from the target of your attack.

Menacing Attack. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to frighten the target. You add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

Pushing Attack. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to drive the target back. You add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll, and if the target is Large or smaller, it must make a Strength saving throw.

Rally. On your turn, you can use a bonus action and expend one superiority die to bolster the resolve of one of your companions. When you do so, choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you. That creature gains temporary hit points equal to the superiority die roll + your Charisma modifier.

Riposte. When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and expend one superiority die to make a melee weapon attack against the creature. If you hit, you add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll.

Sweeping Attack. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to damage another creature with the same attack.
