Rift Warrior

Rift Warriors draw directly from the volatile energy of the rifts, channeling it into overwhelming strength and devastating attacks. Their unrelenting power allows them to stand at the forefront of battle, challenging any foe who dares oppose them.

Benefits:

1. Rift-Charged Strikes:

   • Your melee weapon attacks are infused with rift energy. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon, you deal an additional 1d6 force damage. This increases to 2d6 at 10th level.

2. Battle Frenzy:

   • Once per turn, when you reduce a creature to 0 hit points, you can make another melee weapon attack as a bonus action.

3. Empowered Resilience:

   • You gain temporary hit points equal to your Strength modifier + your level (minimum 1) whenever you roll initiative.

4. Challenger's Aura:

   • As a bonus action, you can unleash a burst of rift energy in a 10-foot radius around you. Each creature of your choice within the aura must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength modifier) or be knocked prone. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest.

Rolls and Effects:

• Rift-Charged Strikes:

  • Roll the additional 1d6 or 2d6 force damage when you hit. On a natural 6, the rift energy explodes, dealing 1d6 force damage to all enemies within 5 feet of the target.

• Battle Frenzy:

  • Roll the bonus attack after felling a creature. On a natural 20, you regain the use of your reaction for this turn.

• Empowered Resilience:

  • Gain the temporary hit points immediately after rolling initiative. On a natural 1 for initiative, you instead gain double the temporary hit points.

• Challenger's Aura:

  • Roll the Strength saving throws for affected creatures. On a natural 20 for the DC calculation, the rift energy stuns the affected creatures until the end of your next turn.

Flavor:
Rift Warriors embody raw power and determination, wielding the chaos of the rifts to carve a path through their enemies. Their resilience and sheer might inspire allies and terrify foes, making them an unstoppable force on the battlefield. By embracing the energy of the rifts, they become champions of strength and victory.
