Base Class: Barbarian
The Luchadore specializes in getting close to his enemies and grappling them into holds to send them flying or alternatively straight down into the ground, preferably through a table! The Luchadore is a fearless warrior who laughs as his opponents try to swing deadly weapons at him, he is filled with glee as he soars from heights to body slam enemies. The Luchadore uses his knowledge of human anatomy to his advantage and has become a living weapon.
A Luchadore would never disgrace himself with using a weapon other his own body or conveniently placed furniture!

Deck the Walls : After charging 5ft and picking up an enemy, smash them into a wall. For every 5ft you charged with them unimpeded, add another attack dice to your attack damage.

Meteor Slam! : an aerial attack from 30ft in height or greater
- During this attack, triple your fall damage and transfer that impact into the ground around you in a 20m radius, every creature in range takes that damage and must pass a Str Check to avoid being knocked prone
- If this attack is centered on an enemy then that enemy takes on the unmodified fall damage you ignored as additional damage and are automatically knocked prone.
- The damage you take is still equal to half of the unmodified fall damage
- Damage for this attack counts as magical
Bulls Hit:
- Summon the spirits of 7 bulls and place them in any position you choose. Once placed, the bulls charge in a straight line . Spirit Bulls may pass through each other and obstacles freely, only becoming corporeal upon making contact with an enemy target.

Posted Mar 4, 2025Thanks ! Couldn't find a wrestling subclass that actually did anything with grapples or the wrestler persona so I hope this class is fun for people!
I had pictured Bulls Hit as a one and done cavalry charge just so it's not a pain for the player and DM to keep a track of. I had that experience playing a druid that always summoned as many giant badgers as possible, I just pooled their health and kept them as a swarm, deleting one every time it lost the health of one badger. Massively sped up combat as the DM allowed them all go one the same turn, otherwise combat just became so sluggish and keeping track of turns became a pain.
That being said, flooding the action economy like that really trivialised some fights so it may bite you as a DM trying to have a moment with a boss. I made Bulls Hit strong because it was single use, though I certainly did not consider lining them all up behind each other and running a train on one singular enemy. Feel free to balance or tweak things as you see fit as a DM as I have not gotten to really playtest this subclass at every level.
If you want to use this subclass as a template or just copy it and add in your balance changes, feel free!

Posted Mar 2, 2025Excellent job constructing this subclass, one of my players was looking for this kind of skill set for their character. They are going to be playing it in my campaign. My only concern is to know how long the bulls last for Bull Hit, and what happens to them after they hit an enemy. Do I have to make new NPCs for combat or are they just a one and done type of deal. Other than that, I can't wait to see the stunts my player is going to pull.
