Fighter/1st

Starting Equipment

aaa

Hearts

Each level you gain in this class grants you a Heart Container (or a "Hit Die"), which is a d10. Heart Containers are used primarily during short rests to recover heart points.

If your first class level is gained as a fighter, your maximum heart points increases by 10 + your Constitution modifier.

Anytime you otherwise gain a level in this class, you roll d10 (or take the median of 6), then add your Constitution modifier to that number. Your maximimum heart points increases by an amount equal to the result.

If your Constitution modifier later increases, your maximum heart points retroactively increase.

Proficiencies

If fighter is your first class, you have proficiency with the following. These are in addition to any from your proficiency points.

Armor: All armor and shields, including heavy shields

Weapons: All simple and martial weapons

Saving Throws: Strength, Constitution

Tools: Choose one from any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, or any one vehicle

Multiclass Proficiencies

If fighter is not your first class (see multiclassing), you instead only gain proficiency with the following. You do not gain any proficiency points from fighter if it is not your first class.

Armor: Light armor, medium armor, and shields (excluding heavy shields)

Weapons: All simple and martial weapons

Proficiency Points

Background Alternative

Proficiency points are meant to replace the skill proficiencies and backgrounds used by official D&D classes. If it is your DM's preference, you gain no proficiency points, but are instead proficient in a combination of any two skills from Acrobatics, Animal Handling, Athletics, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Perception, and Survival. These proficiencies are in addition to any from your background.

If fighter is your first class, you have a number of proficiency points equal to 7 + your Intelligence modifier. If your Intelligence modifier permanently increases, so too do your number of points.
     During character creation or during downtime, you can invest these points to become proficient.

• You can invest 1 point to become proficient in one of the following: the Athletics skill, any artisan's tool, any musical instrument, water vehicles, land vehicles, or any language.
• You can invest 2 points to become proficient in one of the following: any professional tool, or any skill from Acrobatics, Animal Handling, History, Insight, Intimidation, Nature, Perception, and Survival.
• You can invest 3 points to become proficient in any other skill.

This feature assumes you do not have a background. If you do have a background, your number of proficiency points is reduced by 6, to a minimum of 0.

Retraining

Heroes don't always retain their skills forever.  Sometimes old methods are forgotten in favor of new skills.  Each time you gain a level in any class, you can forget up to 3 proficiency points' worth of items you gained with this feature.  Doing so lets you regain the points you invested.  You can then invest these points into any other items in accordance with this feature, or save them to be assigned at later levels.

If you multiclass, you can only re-invest points in accordance with your first class.

Stamina Gauge

1-Hour Short Rest Alternative

This content assumes a short rest will only take 5 minutes, as described in the Hyrulean Guidelines. If your campaign uses a traditional 1-hour short rest, double the number of stamina points you gain from this class.

You gain a number of stamina points equal to your fighter level.

If fighter is your first class (see multiclassing), you also add your Constitution modifier to your number of stamina points. If your Constitution modifier later increases, so too does your number of stamina points.

You can use your stamina points to perform target strikes or to use other class features. Normally all of your stamina points are replenished when you complete a short or long rest.

Target Strike

Just before making an attack roll with a weapon or an unarmed strike, you can make a target strike either by expending 2 stamina points, or by taking disadvantage on the attack roll. You cannot make a target strike if the attack roll would have disadvantage anyway, nor if any effect imposes a -5 penalty to the attack roll.

A target strike generally aims for wherever the target is most vulnerable, such as gaps in a warrior's armor, or the exposed eye of a huge monster. This kind of target strike maximizes the damage dice rolled on a hit (e.g., treat 1d8 as simply 8), including any extra dice rolled as part of a critical hit or from other sources. Your narrator may enable alternate or additional effects for a target strike.

Sprint

At any point during your turn, you can regain movement you've spent by expending any number of stamina points. You regain 5 feet of movement per stamina point expended. You can continuously move for as long as you have stamina points remaining

The movement regained from sprinting is not multiplied by the Dash action or other effects, like the haste spell.

Fighting Style

At 1st level, you adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty from the options listed on the Fighting Styles page.

You can gain additional fighting styles through your Improvement feature but you can never gain the same fighting style multiple times.
