This is the rewrite of the Brute I made. It would not need external testing. WOTC would just have to adjust the numbers to match their formulae.
Brute Force
Starting at 3rd level, you’re able to strike with your weapons with especially brutal force.
Brute Dice: You have Brute Dice, which start at d6, You gain a number of Brute Dice equal to your Constitution score. A Brute die is expended when you expend it. Brute Dice increases by an amount based on your level in this class, as shown on the Brute Dice table.
When you finish a short rest, you roll a Brute die and regain that many expended Brute dice. You regain all of your expended superiority dice when you finish long rest.
Brutal Strike: You’re able to strike with your weapons with especially brutal force. Whenever you hit with a weapon that you’re proficient with and deal damage, you can expend a Brute Dice to roll it and add it to your damage roll.
Fighter Level | Brute Die Size |
---|
3rd | 1d6 |
10th | 1d8 |
16th | 1d10 |
20th | 1d12 |
Brutish Durability
Beginning at 7th level, your toughness allows you to shrug off assaults that would devastate others. Whenever you make a saving throw, you can expend a Brute die to roll it and add the die to your saving throw total. If applying this bonus to a death saving throw increases the total to 20 or higher, you gain the benefits of rolling a 20 on the d20.
Brutish Image
Also at the 7th level, look of a hulking brute is almost inescapable. Whenever you make a Strength or Charisma check, you can expend a Brute die to roll it and add the die to your check total
Brutish Luck
At 10th level, even when you are lucky the results can be such brutal displays, they invigorate you. Whenever you roll a 20 on an attack, skill check, or saving throw, you roll a Brute die and regain that many Brute die.
Overwhelming Critical
Starting at 15th level, when you score a critical hit with an attack and expend a Brute die, you roll all your damage dice two additional times. You regain a number of Brute dice equal to the sum of the value of the Brute dice rolled.
Brutal Survivor
At 18th level, you attain the pinnacle of resilience in brutilaty. At the start of each of your turns in combat, you can roll 2 Brute Dice and regain than many hit points (minimum of 1 hit point). You don’t gain this benefit if you have 0 hit points or if you have more than half of your hit points left.
