Level 3: Crack of the Bat

When you hit a creature with a Pugilist Weapon that has the Versatile or Two-Handed property, you can spend 1 Moxie Point to apply one of the following effects (no action required):

Knockback. The target is pushed up to 15 feet away from you.

Leg Breaker. The target has its speed reduced to 0 until the start of your next turn.

Skull Ringer. The target has disadvantage on its next attack roll before the end of its next turn.

Level 6: Return to Sender

When you are hit by a Ranged Attack, you may spend a Moxie Point and use your reaction to attempt to hit the projectile back. Make a strength saving throw with a DC equal to the attack roll. On a success, you do not take any damage and the creature that attacked you takes half the damage you would've taken. On a failure, the expended Moxie Point is refunded.

Additionally, whenever you deal damage with a Pugilist Weapon, it can deal your choice of Force damage or its normal damage type.

Level 11: Two Extra Attacks

You can attack three times instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Level 17: Grand Slam

When you use Crack of the Bat, you can spend 2 additional Moxie Points to amplify the effect:

Knockback. The target must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed back by 30 feet, and fall Prone at the end of the movement.

Leg Breaker. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be Restrained for 1 minute. The target make remake this saving throw at the end of each of it's turns, ending the condition on a success.

Skull Ringer. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or be Stunned until the end of its next turn.

On a successful save, the target instead suffers the normal Crack of the Bat effect. The DC of each saving throw equals 8 plus your Strength Modifier and Proficiency Bonus.

Additionally, once per turn when you hit a creature with a Pugilist Weapon, you can deal extra bludgeoning damage equal to your Strength modifier.
