Base Class: Fighter
The Bloom style is a sword fighting style traditionally used by samurai. Traditional users of this style fight with a katana, wielded with both hands. However, it is still possible to master this style with a wakizashi, as shown by Ronin Usho. Usage of this style relies almost entirely on dexterity, and one's ability to focus in the midst of chaos.
Blade Dancer
Starting at 3rd level, for any bladed weapon, you can use your dexterity score rather than your strength score for skill checks.
Sakura Stance
Starting at 3rd level, you can use a movement to enter the Sakura stance. While in this stance, your movement speed is set to 0, and you can use a movement to leave the stance.
Lotus Reflection
Beginning at third level, as a reaction, you can reflect the attack of a nearby enemy. If your AC is at least 5 higher than a missed melee attack made against you, use your reaction to instead hit them with their own missed attack. The attack only deals half the amount of damage if the target is your size or 1 bigger. Any foes smaller than you instead take the attack's full damage. This move does nothing to foes at least two sizes bigger than you. If you are in Sakura stance, then you may instead choose to hit an enemy with your own attack, with the damage scaling remaining the same.
Unwavering Calm
Starting at 7th level, you have reached such a tranquil state that your mind is not broken so easily. You have immunity to the frightened and charmed conditions.
Magnolia Dance
Starting at 7th level, you learn how to dance about the battlefield, gracefully, striking down opponents. Each time you land a successful basic attack or counter their hit, you can immediately move 5 ft in any direction. This applies even in Sakura stance.
Graceful Orchid
Beginning at 10th level, you're able to push your advantage to its maximum limit. Your criticals now hit on a 19 and a 20. When you land a critical, you may force whoever's hit to make a dexterity saving throw with DC equal to 15 + your dexterity modifier. If they fail, they are restrained until their next turn. If you are in Sakura stance during this, they are instead stunned until their next turn.
Battlefield Clarity
Beginning at 10th level, you can maintain total focus while in Sakura stance. Once per short rest, you may use this to clear your mind fully, clearing yourself of all status conditions. Furthermore, on your next turn, you take your turn first. Until your next turn, Lotus Reflection becomes free, and you can use it as much times as you want.
Rose Burst
Beginning at level 15, you may use this as an attack. Twice per short rest, you can use your dexterity to perform a quick spinning slash. As an attack, make a dexterity saving throw with DC 17. On a success, for a circle around you equal to your weapon's range, make an attack with +3 for hit on each opponent. While in Sakura stance, the throw to make the attack is reduced to DC 15, and the attack also deals +5 damage on hit. This attack counts as a normal attack.
Cherry Blossom Sword 'Flashing Scattered Flowers'
Beginning at 18th level, you learn usage of the style's most formidable techniques. Using this technique, users are able to move at incredible speeds and slash at opponents, quickly striking them down. Three times per long rest, you may use this as an attack. As an attack, select up to three targets within 15 feet of you. Due to the extreme speed and momentum behind the attack, it is unblockable. The three targeted enemies each take 35+2d10 slashing damage. You appear right beside whichever enemy you hit last.
True Flower Master
From your time training, you have become one of the most graceful users of this style to exist. Your skills have fully bloomed now, and few can rival you. You gain the following benefits:
- You can now enter and leave Sakura stance freely during your turn.
- All bladed weapons now do an additional 4 damage.
- You have advantage on all Dexterity saving throws.
- You emit a pleasant-smelling aura of flowers no matter the conditions.
- Flowers passively grow in the soil around you, fully going from sprout to bloom in about 5 minutes.
