[QUOTE="Undrave, post: 7838089, member: 7015698"] I'll take a look! I'm, looking at the Mountaineer ('cause I had a similar concept in mind recently) right now and I'll look at others later. Some notes... [B]Tunnel Fighter:[/B] Is there a reason it limits to light and medium armors? Also I would probably word it like this "When wearing medium or light armour and wielding a shield, if you are within five feet of a wall, you gain an a +2 bonus to AC. The wall must be at least 5 feet tall and at least 5 feet of length must be within 5 feet of you" so it works better on table top. 7th level is normally a ribbon ability and not a combat one. I think [B]Tunnel Home[/B] should be the Ribbon Ability. It's pretty weak otherwise. Level 10 should then be [B]Traverse: [/B]Wording is a bit off again... I think it would be something like "When wielding a shield, you can spend a bonus action to allow you to move through an area occupied by opponents until the end of the turn. Areas occupied by opponents are treated as difficult terrain. If you do so, the creature must succeed a dexterity saving throw, if they do not: one ally within 5 feat of the creature can spend a reaction to make an attack against the creature. You can only move through each creature's area once per turn." This way you're not moving with the bonus, BUT you get to do it multiple time if you have multiple enemies in close proximity.

Plus it uses your main ability score. To make it better at that level I would grant the Mountaineer the ability to shove creatures 2 size larger than him instead of just 1 size!
