Gravity knight

The Gravity Knight is a formidable subclass of the Fighter that harnesses the unseen power of gravity itself. Through intense training and a deep connection to the forces of nature, these warriors manipulate gravity to their advantage during battle. With their ability to control the very fabric of space, they can create powerful gravitational fields, alter the gravitational pull on their enemies, and leap incredible distances with ease.

 

As a Gravity Knight, you possess a unique and awe-inspiring ability known as Gravity Manipulation. With a mere thought, you can increase or decrease the gravitational forces within a radius around you. When gravity is increased, your foes struggle to move and find it difficult to land attacks. Alternatively, you can decrease gravity, granting you and your allies increased agility and accuracy in combat. This ability can be a game-changer in the midst of battle, providing you with a tactical advantage.

 

In addition to manipulating gravity, your weapon strikes are infused with gravitational energy. A simple strike can exert a force upon your opponent, potentially knocking them prone and leaving them vulnerable to follow-up attacks. You learn to generate a powerful gravitational field, known as Gravity Well, which can ensnare enemies, pulling them towards you and halting their movement. This ability allows you to control the battlefield, effectively limiting your foes' options.

 

Gravity also impacts your own mobility. As a Gravity Knight, you can perform gravity-assisted leaps that defy natural limitations. With a burst of energy, you can jump great distances, even vertically, allowing you to access hard-to-reach areas or surprise your enemies from unexpected angles.

 

At the apex of your training, you radiate a Gravitational Aura, influencing the movements of nearby foes. Those unfortunate enough to find themselves within this aura experience a gravitational force that hampers their speed, providing you and your allies with a distinct advantage in combat.

 

As a Master of Gravitation, your skill and knowledge of gravity are unparalleled. Every successful strike with your gravitational energy also pulls your enemies closer to you, reinforcing the might of your attacks. Furthermore, you gain the ability to extend the radius of your Gravity Manipulation, allowing you to control a larger area and influence more creatures as you traverse the battlefield.

 

With your control over gravity, you have the power to tip the scales of battle in your favor. Your prowess as a Gravity Knight lies not only in your physical might but in your ability to manipulate the very essence of the universe. As you ascend to new heights of power, few enemies will dare to face the overwhelming force of your gravity-infused strikes.

Gravity Manipulation

Starting at 3rd level, you gain the ability to manipulate gravity within a 30-foot radius around you. As a bonus action on your turn, you can increase or decrease gravity in this area for 1 minute. When gravity is increased, creatures have disadvantage on Strength and Dexterity saving throws and attack rolls. When gravity is decreased, creatures have advantage on those same rolls. You can use this feature once per short or long rest.

Gravitational Strike

At 3rd level, your weapon attacks become infused with gravitational energy. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can choose to exert a gravitational force upon them. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC (8 + proficiency mod + Strangth mod) or be knocked prone.

Gravity Well

At 7th level, you learn to channel gravity more effectively. As an action, you can create a 10-foot radius gravitational field centered on yourself. Any creatures of your choice within the field must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or be pulled towards you and have their speed reduced to 0 until the end of their next turn. Once you use this feature, you must take a short or long rest before using it again.

Gravity Leap

Upon reaching 10th level, your control over gravity extends to your own mobility. You gain the ability to make a gravity-assisted leap. As a bonus action, you can jump a distance up to your Strength score in feet, even vertically, without needing a running start. This jump does not provoke an opportunity attack.

Gravitational Aura

Starting at 15th level, your presence alone radiates gravitational waves. As an action, you can activate your gravitational aura, covering a 15-foot radius around you. While active, all hostile creatures that start their turn in this aura must succeed on a Strength saving throw against your spell save DC or have their speed halved until the start of their next turn.

Master of Gravitation

At 18th level, your mastery over gravity reaches its peak. Whenever you successfully hit a creature with your Gravitational Strike feature, the target is also pulled 5 feet toward you as gravity intensifies around them. In addition, whenever you use your Gravity Manipulation feature, you can choose to extend its radius to 60 feet for the duration.
