Professional Wrestler

A grappler dedicated to entertaining crowds, throwing their opponents around like rag dolls, and physically dominating the competition. 

 

Note: This is a WIP, dexterity based build has been tested to level 9 and it performed well. I will get to work on better integrating this with DnD beyond when I have time.

Professional of the Grappling Arts

Starting at third level, you are an expert grappler and unarmed combatant. This training gives you proficiency in unarmed attacks, and unarmed attacks do 1D8+STR or 1D8+DEX bludgeoning damage, they also count as weapons for the purposes of Two-Weapon Fighting. You can grapple enemies one size larger than you as if they were your same size. You can initiate grapples using your Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics.)

 You can only gain the benefit of this feature if you are not holding anything in either hand.

 You gain access to Signature Moves to lay the smackdown on your enemies in combat. Starting at third level you gain access to two, then one subsequently at levels 5, 11, and 20. You may change your signature moves during any long rest. You may only use signature moves if you are not holding anything in either hand. You may use each signature a number of times equal to your charisma modifier unless stated otherwise.

 The save DC for signature moves is 8+STR+Proficiency Modifier or 8+DEX+Proficiency Modifier whichever is higher.
