* This is my first ever posted homebrew. Feel free to use it and leave comments so that I can tune it. Let me know in your comment if you actually playtested the Sub-Class or are just noticing inconsistencies or things that may be an issue. If a Mechanic is unclear or redundant please let me know in the comments as well. The goal is to create a fun Martial Wrestler that must builds up resources every encounter.
Momentum
Wrestling in an entertaining way requires effort. You can't just use your finisher at the start or the crowd will be bored. Building momentum through set ups and maneuvers allows you to unleash more powerful moves.
Every unarmed attack adds 1 Momentum. While you are raging you gain 1 momentum per turn at the start of your turn.
Your maximum momentum is equal to your charisma modifier.
Momentus Rage
When you rage you gain 1 momentum.
You may spend one extra use of your rage while raging to gain 2 Momentum as a bonus action.
Wrestling Style
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you choose a wrestling style that is the staple of your move set. At lvl11 You may choose a second style.
Hardcore
Note on my intentions: The intentions of this style is to allow a character to use whatever is around them as a weapon and deal damage instead of requiring them to use unarmed attacks. However, since the Improvised weapons will deal more damage than a basic attack. I want to incur a "Momentum" penalty to slow down the use of special moves. The improvised specialists attacks can hinder their targets combat effectiveness.
High Flying
You are an agile warrior. Climbing and jumping from a height is your preferred method of attack. You're not limited to that though. Manipulating larger opponents momentum to your and your partners' advantage. A force to be reckoned with and dangerous when given the space to move as you please.
Manager
You're a mouth piece. Hype up your team and cause your share of distractions. As such you have advantage on Deception, Persuasion, and performance checks.
Power House
Notes on my intentions: My thoughts here is more of a Tank. Someone who can taunt, Stop enemies who approach and survive by either damage reduction or healing.
Technician
When the going gets tough the tough get Grappling. Holds, submissions and technical prowess are your bread and butter. You gain advantage on grappling checks and can move your grappling targets into the way of incoming attacks.
Moveset
Choose moves to fill out your Moveset. You get 2 at 3rd level then 1 more at 5th 7th and 11th.
