Aerial Maneuvers

When taking the Ace Airman class at 3rd level, you gain access to two Arial Maneuvers: Dive-Bomb and Cover Fire.

Everytime you activate Arial Combatant you gain access to these two Aerial Maneuvers. These maneuver are active until Aerial Combatant ends. 

Dive-Bomb 

Once per turn you can chose to use a bonus action to take a melee attack against a creature or object directly below you. You immediately fall to the space above that target. The melee attack deals additional d6 of damage for every 10 ft traveled by using thsi skill up to 20d6.

The distance of the fall in this Dive-Bomb does not count as movement.

Cover-Fire

While flying using Aerial Combatant you can use your reaction to take a ranged attack on any creature that starts it's turn within 5 feet of an ally, ends it turn within 5ft if an ally, or moves within 5 feet of an ally within standard range of your weapon. On a hit, the next attack roll made by the targeted creature have disadvantage and their speed is halved.

 Ariel combatant now lasts 10 minutes.

Evasive Maneuvers

Untethered

At 15th Level you advance your airborne capabilities even further, moving through the air easier then a fish in water.

This feature grants you the ability to hover, meaning you do not fall to the ground when restricted or incapacitated. Additionally while you have Aerial Combatant active, your flight speed only reduced by half when restricted or grappled, instead of dropping to zero.

You also gain expertise in acrobatics if you do not already have it.
