Gladiator

A gladiator is a fighter who fights for glory and the favor of those who would watch them. Gladiators live for the thrill of a cheering crowd and the excitement of the arena. Fighters who choose to be gladiators often have an explosive personality or just really, really likes fighting for coin.

Encore!

Starting at 3rd level, you have learned to get a rush from having an audience to watch you fight. Your critical hits become 18-20 if you are within 15 feet of an ally. If you score a critical hit or kill a creature while in this same range, you gain 1d6 that can be added to your next attack or damage roll.

Flamboyant Fighting

At 3rd level, you have learned to change your fighting style to fit the more flashy and flamboyant of arena combat. You gain proficiency in Performance and a +2 bonus to any attack and damage rolls made with finesse weapons. You may also give one weapon the finesse property as long as that weapon does not have the finesse or two-handed properties.

Artistic Combat

At 7th level, you have become much more familiar with what causes a crowd to cheer the loudest. You gain advantage on any attack roll made with a finesse weapon and gain 1d8 instead of 1d6 from the Encore! feature. After you make an attack with a finesse weapon, you may move 5 feet in any direction.

Follow the Crowd

At 10th level, you are able to seek out a crowd to witness your battles wherever you are. The range of Encore! Increases to 30 feet, you gain expertise in Performance, and a +2 charisma bonus.

Fan Favorite

At 15th level, the cheers from your memory are enough to encourage you to keep fighting. You no longer need range for Encore! as long as you aren’t deafened

People's Champion

At 18th level, tales of your glory and victory have spread throughout the world. You are able to send your fans to attack an enemy instead of you. You gain an entourage of 3 Commoners (see Basic Rules for stats) who will attack any creature that they perceive as a threat to you. You may add or regain followers when you enter a town or city. You are only able to have a maximum of 10 followers at a time.
