Sword Mastery Image

this is for my stupid soul eater homebrew shit don't worry about it. also im like blatantly ripping off Disgaea lmao

Grants AOEs for all sword weapons earned through the following Mastery System (you must achieve the previous rank before being able to work on the next*):

Weapon Mastery (WM) 0
Starting rank. no added bonuses. just here to establish the shortening; (WM)
{[o] <- You. [] <- possible target square. [ ] <- target square. [X] <- Must-Be-Empty square. [-] <- Unaffected square [ X \|/ ] <- Target square + X below [ X /|\ ] <- Target square + X above
[ X \| |\ ] <- Target square + X above & below}

WM 1 (unlocked by attacking a living target with any kind of sword 10 times)
"Blade Rush" (slash through 3 immediate targets before jumping back to your original position); Linear 15FT. AOE originating from the user's current position. make an attack roll once. anyone hit will take your weapons damage (normal damage calculation). this is basically using your basic attack three times but with range. If the space after the attack range is occupied you cannot use this attack. ([o][ ][ ][ ][X]) <--- pictured AOE. Has three charges at this rank (+1 after every rank up) i could be wording this less obtusely....  this does not trigger opportunity attacks.

WM 2 (unlocked after Killing 8 hostile targets)
"Killer Spin" (dash towards an enemy, swing your sword upwards to knock them into the air, swing fervently before backing away to your original position); linear range of up to 20FT hitting one target. Target makes a DC16 STR saving throw, on success the target avoids your following attack: first swing does 1d4+STR. make another normal attack roll with an additional +8 to hit, on hit make your weapons normal damage roll. Repeat this process another 4 times -3/extra attack from the additional bonus. if any of these attacks miss (including the first +8 bonus attack) this attack ends prematurely, if all attacks hit the target will take one more flat 1d6 fall damage as you throw them back to their position whilst backing away to your own. 
([o][][][][])  has one charge at this rank (+1 every rank up after this except ranks 6&10)

WM 3 (unlocked after Killing 12 creatures)
Targets you've attacked with a sword must win a DEX or STR competition with you to make an opportunity attack from you leaving their attack range.

WM 4 (unlocked after hitting 3 targets at once using blade rush 5 times)
add half your STR modifier to your sword damage

WM 5 (unlocked by making 5 opportunity attacks)
Gain the ability to use your reaction to make a single normal weapon attack if you are currently holding a sword, after being attacked by a creature within reach ("Counter attack")

WM 6 (unlocked by killing 9 targets with AOE attacks)
"Lightning Draw" (With "lightning speed" and actual lightning, slash an upto 20ft. cone infront of you) creatures in the cone must succeed a DC17 STR saving throw, on success the successor takes half damage -1d6+ their CON modifier (nullify if resistant to lightning damage). Deal your normal weapon damage die and 2d12 Lightning damage +STR. 
Has three charges +1/rank up after this rank

WM 7 (unlocked by using up all of your charges for "Killer Spin" in a single combat encounter)
Additional to hit bonus is raised to 10 instead of 8

WM 8 (unlocked after hitting 7 "Counter attack"s)

WM 9 (unlocked after hitting 32 targets with AOE attacks)
Get your full STR modifier to add to your sword damage

WM 10 (unlocked By defeating an enemy with a CR of 12 or higher)
"Mists of Pain" (Targeting an enemy within 10ft., that creature's vision starts to haze, seeing only mist, and seemingly several of you slashing methodically from all directions.) target creature must succeed a DC18 DEX saving throw, on success this attack fails. roll your normal weapon damage dice x5 and roll an extra 5d10 slashing damage. has one charge.
