If all the fighting styles could be either active or passive, which way would you prefer?Now, an additional option is for passive then active. This means each style has a passive benefit, but also an additional active benefit if you decide to pay the cost for it.Examples:Defensive, +1 AC bonus without spending any type of action and constantly available. This is "passive" because there is no action cost.Protection, grants disadvantage on opponent's attack against ally, but at the cost of your reaction. So, this is "active" because there is a cost.Of course, there is a gray area as well with something like TWF style. The benefit to your second weapon used is passive, but deciding to employ TWF does cost your bonus action--which makes it active. So, in order to benefit from the style, you really have to use your bonus action.A Passive to Active adaptation would be something like:ArcheryYou gain a +2 bonus to your attack roll when you make a ranged weapon attack with a ranged or thrown weapon. If you have the Extra Attack feature and you are making a ranged weapon attack, you can use your bonus action to gain an additional attack.EDIT: Here is the first draft of some updated/revised fighting styles. I tried to keep features relatively unique and there is something for bonus actions and reactions for each style. I realize some are probably OP (in general or by personal preference), but please comment on any of them and thanks![ATTACH=full]117908[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
