Enamouring Defence

Starting 3rd level,
while you are not wearing any armour, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Charisma modifier. You can use a shield and still gain this benefit.

Additionally you gain proficiency in performance, if you do not already have it.

Momentum

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn dances that affect how you can attack with your equipped weapons using momentum points.

Dances. You learn two dances of your choice, which are detailed under "Dances" below. You can begin a dance as a bonus action and your current dance affects how you can spend your momentum points. Each dance you learn has a prerequisite weapon type that you need to perform the dance: e.g. The Blizzard Rush dance requires that you have at least one light weapon equipped.

You learn one additional dance of your choice at 7th, 10th, and 15th level. Each time you learn a new dance, you can also replace one dance you know with a different one.

Momentum Points. You gain one momentum point when you successfully hit a creature, and when you successfully avoid an attack from a creature. The maximum amount of momentum points you can have at one time equals your proficiency bonus. If spending a momentum point allows you to hit a creature, you cannot gain any momentum points from that attack.

When you take damage you lose one momentum point; you cannot get below zero momentum points. You also lose all momentum points if you have not gained any for a minute.

You can switch dances using a bonus action. When you switch dances, you can choose to spend 2 momentum points to activate the 'switch' effect described in the dance that you are switching from, and to draw and stow any weapons or handheld items required for the dance.

The dances listed below determine how you can spend your momentum points.

Saving Throws. Some of your dance features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Dances

 

Autumn Rain (Thrown Weapon Required). Your unerring accuracy always finds its mark.

  • Your movement speed increases by 10 feet. Additionally you can draw a thrown weapon as part of your attack, as well as pick up any thrown weapon in your space during your movement.
  • Cost: 1 momentum point. If a creature attacks you with a ranged weapon attack, you can use your reaction to throw a weapon at the projectile. Roll an attack, if the value of the attack is equal to or higher than the ranged attack from the attacking creature then the projectile misses.
  • Cost: 3 momentum points. You can forego one attack of your attack action to throw two thrown weapons at two different creatures within the weapons short range using a single weapon attack roll. If an attack on one or both of your targets would be at disadvantage, you make the attack roll at disadvantage.
    • ost: 5 momentum points. As an action you can launch up to 6 thrown weapons at any creature within the weapon's range.
    • Switch. When switching from this dance to another you automatically gain all the benefits of the dodge action.
      -----------------------

      Blizzard Rush (Light Weapon Required). Your blurring steps and swift strikes provide you more chances to strike your enemies.

      • Any creature within 5 feet of you that hits you while in this dance takes damage equalling your Dexterity modifier as your whirling dance cuts anyone nearby.
      • Cost: 1 momentum points. If a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to attack it with a single melee attack.
      • Cost: 3 momentum points. You can use one attack of your attack action to do a special melee attack. If you successfully hit a creature using this special attack, you can automatically hit the same creature if you attempt to attack them again during your current turn.
      • Cost: 5 momentum points. You can use your action to attack any creature that enters your melee range during your movement, using a series of swift strikes as you move.
      • Switch. When switching from this dance to another you automatically gain all the benefits of the dash action.
        ---------------------------

      Boulder Quake (Heavy Weapon Required). Your weighty blows crash enemies around the field.

      • Whenever you hit a creature with your weapon it gets knocked back 5 feet if the creature is considered large or smaller.
      • Cost: 1 momentum point. If you get hit with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to gain advantage on your next attack against that creature.
      • Cost: 3 momentum points. You can forego one attack of your attack action to build up inertia for your next melee attack. Your next melee attack deals the maximum possible amount of damage with the amount of damage dice you should roll + any relevant modifiers.
      • Cost: 5 momentum points. You can use an action to deal a devastating blow to a creature within melee range of your weapon. The creature must make a Strength saving throw or takes the weapons damage + your current fighter level, and the creature gets knocked back 15 feet. On a save, the creature takes half damage and does not get knocked back.

Entrancing Dance

At 7th level your dances attract a crowd. While dancing outside of combat, creatures within 30 feet of you have disadvantage on perception and investigation checks that target anything or anyone apart from yourself.

Sustained Momentum

Starting 10th level, you become used to transitioning your dances from one to the other. Activating the 'switch' effect from your dance, and drawing and stowing weapons, does not cost any momentum points.

Focused Routine

Finishing Flourish

At 18th level, you can perform a magnificent flourish while switching dances. After switching dances you immediately gain 5 momentum points (up to your momentum point maximum). You regain this ability after a short or long rest.
