[QUOTE="TiwazTyrsfist, post: 7617550, member: 70582"] Since we're not worried about stepping on the toes of other classes, for the Wis sub, I'd borrow heavily from the Weapon focus Monk variants. [WIS] - Kensai, Swordsage, Dervish? - Rather than focusing on brute strength of tactical training, the Wisdom Fighter functions on a mixture of intuition and meditative training the builds muscle memory. Give them "Stances" which grant bonuses, but also limit them in some way. I.E. This stance can only be used with a single light weapon and a free hand, this stance can only be used with a heavy weapon, This stance gives you a damage bonus but you cannot use the disengage action, etc. [INT] - Tactician - Borrow heavily from Battle Master. [CHA] - Duelist/Gladiator - The preformative Fighter. Special powers should let you do things like distract or dazzle opponents. Inflict your CHA mod as a PENALTY on enemies. Feint successfully to gain advantage on attacks. Fake a serious wound or even death to gain some sort of leg up. NO Cha to dmg, ac, or init. Cha checks as bonus actions to do things like pull an enemy, lose an enemy, or impose penalties/grant bonuses. Skirt up against Bard College of Swords and College of Valor, but on a Fighter non-caster frame. [/QUOTE]
