Description
Intended for use with the Houndsmaster fighter subclass, created by zacsim11469
Your hound is outfitted with specially crafted battlegear, trained and conditioned for one of two roles. During a short or long rest, you may change its current discipline.
Whether obtained from a city guard armory, crafted by your tribe, or an invention created by you, these are considered standard-issue gear. At your DM’s discretion, you may improve or modify this equipment through crafting, quest rewards, or magical enhancements. Such upgrades should preserve the discipline’s core function and not exceed the power of existing features at your level.
Steel Fangs
- Bite damage increases to 1d10 + your proficiency bonus
- On a successful hit, the Guard Hound's Bite attack may Grapple the target instead of knocking it prone. A grappled creature can use its action to make a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check against the same DC, ending the effect on a success.
Bulwark
- The hound gains resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.
- The hound may use its action to impose disadvantage on attacks targeting any ally within 5 feet of it.
