Base Class: Fighter
Blood is the currency of the battlefield and the reason why you fight. Your style edges on brutality, focusing only on the essence of victory and nothing more; to be a Slayer is to stain your hands eternally red for the thrill. Fighters of this archetype usually abuse their disciplined training for this purpose, hungrily seeking battle for more worthy combatants to test their prowess.
Killer’s Intent
At 3rd level, You strike with killing intent. Once per turn, when you take the Attack action and make an attack with a melee weapon, You can choose to attack with disadvantage, If you do, regardless of whether or not you hit, The target must make a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier). On a failed save, The creature is frightened until the start of your next turn.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your constitution modifier (minimum of 1). Regaining expended uses on a short or long rest.
Killer's Instinct
Also at 3rd level, you'll always reach the next victim. Immediately before you make a melee weapon attack, you can use your bonus action to move up to your speed towards the target. If you do and that attack hits a frightened creature, you gain temporary hit points equal to half your fighter level + your Constitution modifier, which lasts until the start of your next turn.
Blood Hound
At 7th level your indulgence in the battlefield has steeled your will and sharpened your senses. You can't be surprised, and creatures within 60 ft of you, if they have blood, can't benefit from being hidden or invisible against you if they are below half their hit point maximum.
Thrill of Battle
At 10th level, You thrive in the thrill of battle. You have advantage on initiative checks.
Also, there isn't a moment when you aren't fighting. When you use your Second Wind, You can also make a single melee weapon attack with advantage against a creature within reach. On a hit, The Target can't take reactions until the start of your next turn.
Harbinger
At 15th level, The sight of you signifies a slaughter. When you use your Killer's Instinct to move toward the target, your movement doesn't provoke opportunity attacks and ignores difficult terrain. Also, A creature can't gain advantage on saving throws against being frightened of you.
Last Breath
At 18th level, You've breathed your last breath as a person, The hunt for battle is all that drives you forward. After succeeding on a death saving throw, You can choose the stand up and act as if you had started your turn conscious. You remain conscious until the end of your turn. The first attack you make during this turn is made with advantage and deals an additional 5d10 damage of the weapons type on a hit. While you have 0 hit points during this turn, taking damage causes death saving through failures as normal, though three death saving throw failures don't kill you. At the end of your turn, You fall unconscious if you still have zero hit points, or die if you have three deaths saving through failures.
Once you use this feature, You can't use it again until you complete a long rest.
