Evolution Knight

 

I’ll write a description later 

Changeable Form

Beginning when you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the ability to take on aspects of different beasts. Your ability to transform is measured with a resource called evolution points which you spend. You gain a number of evolution points equal to your fighter level plus either your strength or dexterity modifier (whichever is higher) you regain all spent evolution points whenever you take a short or long rest. The abilities you spend evolution points on are called mutations. 

As an action you may adopt one or more mutations from the list below by expending the associated number of evolution points. When doing so, for each mutation beyond the first one you must spend an additional point for each one. For example if you spend an action to take a mutation worth 2pts and one worth 1pt, then you must spend 4 total mutation points.

Mutations last until you take a short or long rest, unless you chose to end one during your turn (No action cost). If a mutation has a level prerequisite, then you can’t use it until you have at least that many levels in this class. Some mutations require saving throws, your saving throw DC uses either your Strength or Dexterity (whichever is higher) and is calculated as DC=(8+ proficiency bonus + strength/dexterity)
