Two-Weapon Fighting. When the Character makes an extra attack as a result of using a weapon that has the Light property, they can add their ability modifier to the damage of that attack if they aren’t already adding it to the damage.
Savage Attacker. Once per turn when the Character hits a target with a weapon, they can roll the weapon’s damage dice twice and use either roll against the target.
Tactical Mind: (Special). When the Character fails an ability check, they can expend a use of Second Wind, and instead of regaining HP, you roll 1d10 and add the result to the ability check. If the check still fails, this use of Second Wind isn’t expended.
Initiative Proficiency. When the character rolls Initiative, add +2 to the roll.
Initiative Swap. Immediately after the character rolls Initiative, you can swap their Initiative with the Initiative of one willing ally in the same combat. You can’t make this swap if they or the ally has the Incapacitated condition.
Superiority Dice.
The Character learns maneuvers that are fueled by special dice called Superiority Dice. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. They can use only one maneuver per attack. They have 4 (1d8) Superiority Dice, which are expended when used. They regain any expended Superiority Die when you finish a Short or Long Rest.
Maneuver: Distracting Strike. When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can expend one Superiority Die and add the die to the attack’s damage roll. The next attack roll against the target by another attacker has Advantage if it’s made before the start of your next turn.
Maneuver: Maneuvering Attack. When you hit a creature with an attack roll, you can expend one Superiority Die and add the die to the attack’s damage roll. You choose a willing creature who can see or hear you, and that creature can use its Reaction to move up to half its Speed without provoking an Opportunity Attack from the target of your attack.
Maneuver: Bait and Switch. When the Character is within 5 ft. of a creature on their turn, they can expend one Superiority Die and switch places with the creature without provoking Opportunity Attacks, provided that the creature is willing, and doesn’t have the Incapacitated condition. Roll the Superiority Die. Until the start of their next turn, they or the other creature (your choice) gains a bonus to AC equal to the number rolled.

Nick. When you make the extra attack of the Light property, you can make it as part of the Attack action instead of as a Bonus Action. This extra attack can only be made once per turn.
Shortbow. Ranged Weapon Attack: +3 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6+1) piercing damage, Simple, Ammunition, Range, Two-Handed, Vex
Vex. If you hit a creature with a Shortbow and deal damage to it, you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your next turn.
Unarmed Strike. The character may make a melee attack that involves using their body to deal one of the following effects:
Damage: They make an attack roll against the creature, Melee Attack: +3 to hit, one target. Hit: 3 Bludgeoning damage.
Grapple: The target must succeed on a DC 12 Str./Dex. (it chooses which) saving throw or it has the Grappled condition.
Shove: The target must succeed on a DC 12 Str./Dex. (it chooses which) saving throw or you can either push it 5 ft. away or cause it to have the Prone condition.
Opportunity Attack. The Character can make an Opportunity Attack when a creature that they can see leaves their reach using its action, its Bonus Action, its Reaction, or one of its speeds. To make the Opportunity Attack, they take a Reaction to make one melee attack with a weapon or an Unarmed Strike against the provoking creature. The attack occurs right before the creature leaves the Character`s reach.
Avoiding Opportunity Attack. The Character can avoid provoking an Opportunity Attack by taking the Disengage action. They also don't provoke an Opportunity Attack when they teleport or when they are moved without using their movement, action, Bonus Action, or Reaction. For example, they don't provoke an Opportunity Attack if an explosion hurls them out of a foe's reach or if they fall past an enemy.
