Base Class: Fighter
The Legion Bladeling is the quintessential shock trooper, martial specialist who has traded the versatility of a living soldier for the cold, mechanical precision of the Underworld.
While others might focus on complex spells or soul-manipulation, the Bladeling is a master of Obsidian Warfare. Their armor is jagged and sharp, designed to bleed the enemy's spirit with every movement, and their weapons are permanently coated in a thin, razor-sharp layer of soul-glass. On the battlefield, they are terrifyingly efficient; they don't grow tired, they don't hesitate, and they move with a synchronized, rhythmic brutality that makes a single Bladeling feel like an entire wall of blades.
To a Bladeling, every swing of their sword is a stroke of a pen on a contract, and every kill is a debt collected for the Soul-Forge.
Level 7: Harvesting Stance
You fight with a cold, mechanical efficiency.
- Whenever you use your Second Wind feature, your next attack roll has Advantage.
- If that attack hits, you regain the use of your Reaction if you had already used it this round.
Level 10: Spectral Riposte
The spirits of fallen Legionnaires hover around you, guiding your blade.
- When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your Reaction to make one weapon attack against that creature.
- On a hit, the target’s speed is reduced to 0 until the start of its next turn as spectral hands hold it in place.
Level 15: Eternal Warrior
The Legion does not allow its best blades to rest.
- When you use Action Surge, you gain Resistance to all damage until the start of your next turn.
- Additionally, you can use Action Surge twice between rests (this replaces the standard Fighter 17th-level feature improvement).
Level 18: Blade of the Underworld
You become a whirlwind of obsidian.
- When you take the Multiattack action, you can make one additional attack (for a total of 4, or 5 if you have the standard Fighter capstone).
- If all attacks hit a single target, that target must succeed on a Constitution Saving Throw (DC 8 +Str + Prof) or be Exhausted by the soul-draining chill of your blade.
