Pathfinder class: Warrior

Hey team! Here's the warrior, inspired by/adapted from guild wars 2! Hope you enjoy it. It was pretty fun to make, as it's sometimes difficult to craft something distinctly different from the typical fighters of pathfinder/D&D (the fighter and the barbarian), so I took a more swashbuckler-esque approach to incorporate adrenaline, flavouring it like is in guild wars. 

If you're interested in seeing some of the patron-only classes I've made, or just want to support me in general, stop by my patreon! :)

Training focus: At first level, the warrior trains with a focus on one aspect of combat, this grants them an alteration to their adrenaline, and grants them access to unique warrior talents that they gain at certain levels (see below).

Adrenaline (Ex): As the warrior fights, the rush of battle fills them with energy. As they gain adrenaline, they can accomplish great feats of combat. Depending on how much adrenaline they spend, they can perform even more powerful attacks or feats. At first level, they can hold one point of adrenaline at a time. At 3^rd level, and every four levels thereafter, the warrior can hold one additional adrenaline. When the warrior rests, they begin the day with one point of adrenaline. Additionally, they can ready themselves as a full-round action, gaining one point of adrenaline a number of times per day equal to their constitution modifier.

If the warrior does not perform a feat of strength or enter combat for one hour, they lose all adrenaline except one point.

Gaining adrenaline: The warrior gains adrenaline through a number of methods, by either striking an enemy, or performing a feat of bravery, such as the following:

Dealing a critical strike: When the warrior confirms a successful critical hit and deals damage with their strike, they gain one point of adrenaline.

Dealt a critical strike: When the warrior is dealt a critical strike from an enemy’s attack, they gain one point of adrenaline.

Knock a target unconscious: If the warrior knocks a target unconscious by taking them below 0 hit points, or kills them, they gain one point of adrenaline.

Feat of strength: If the warrior performs a feat of strength, they gain one point of adrenaline. These are subject to DM discretion, usually tied to strength checks, such as breaking down a door with a mighty blow.

There are other methods which the warrior can gain adrenaline through specific warrior talents (see below).

Burst skill (Ex): At first level, and every 2 levels thereafter, the warrior learns a burst skill. These are feats of great strength that devastate enemies or invigorate their allies. When the warrior spends adrenaline to use a burst skill, all adrenaline is consumed.

Backbreaker: In one all-consuming swing, the force of the warrior’s weapon breaks the enemy’s bones. This single attack deals weapon damage, plus 1 dexterity and strength damage per adrenaline spent, and knocks them prone. A successful fortitude save halves the ability damage (minimum 0) and negates the prone condition. The ability damage is multiplied on a critical hit. This attack must be delivered by a bludgeoning weapon. This requires 10^th level.

Earthshatter: The warrior smashes their weapon on the ground in front of them as a standard action, dealing weapon damage to the target as they swing. The target must make a reflex save or be knocked prone. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + ½ the warrior’s level + their strength modifier. Each additional point of adrenaline causes the DC of this ability and the damage dealt by one step. This requires 4^th level, and the weapon used must deal bludgeoning damage.

Eviscerate: The warrior leaps at the enemy in a charge as a full round action, dealing 1 additional damage if they are using a piercing or slashing weapon. With each additional point of adrenaline, this bonus increases by this value. The additional damage dealt by this attack increases by 1 for every 4 levels they possess. If they spend 2 or more adrenaline, the target bleeds for the amount of adrenaline spent. If 4 points of adrenaline is spent, the penalty for charging Is reduced by 1. If the warrior spends 5 or more adrenaline, they can choose to inflict 1 constitution bleed instead of normal bleed. If 6 points are spent, the warrior does not take a penalty to their AC for charging.

Flurry: The warrior can spend one adrenaline to make one additional attack at their highest base attack bonus during a full attack. They can spend one additional adrenaline to make additional attacks, at a -5 cumulative penalty per extra attack made. At 11^th level, the warrior can spend 2 adrenaline to make one additional attack as part of a standard attack at their highest base attack bonus. They cannot make more than one additional attack in this way.

Forceful shot: The warrior leaps focuses their eyes and strength into a single ranged attack, dealing 2 additional damage. With each additional point of adrenaline, this bonus increases by this value. The additional damage per adrenaline dealt by this attack increases by 1 for every 6 levels they possess. If the attack connects, the target is subject to a bull rush attempt by the warrior. If the warrior spends 5 or more adrenaline, the target is knocked prone. Each point of adrenaline spent increases the bull rush attempt by 2.

Kill shot: The warrior focuses all their energy into a single shot that kills. This requires the warrior to spend their maximum adrenaline. If the attack connects, the target must make a fortitude save. On a fail, the target dies from the attack. If they pass, the shot is a critical strike even if they did not roll within their weapon’s threat range. The warrior must still roll to confirm this critical hit. This burst skill requires 16^th level.

Skull crack: The warrior cracks the enemy upside the head with a bludgeoning weapon, dealing weapon damage, and stunning the enemy for one round. The DC of this save is equal to 10 + ½ the warrior’s level + their strength modifier. Each additional point of adrenaline increases the DC and damage of this ability by 1. If they spend 5 or more adrenaline, this deals 1d4 constitution damage plus one additional constitution damage for each adrenaline after 5. A successful fortitude save halves the ability damage.

Whirling strike: The warrior spins with their weapons, striking additional enemies. After the first attack, the warrior can swing at one additional enemy per adrenaline spent. This can be used as part of a standard attack, as well as a single attack as part of a full attack. Each attack of whirling strike uses the same attack bonus as the original -2, with additional -2 to the attack per target following. The warrior must swing at the next available enemy next to the target, and cannot strike against the same target until they swing back around with attacks still remaining. This requires 7^th level.

Bonus feat: At 2^nd level, and every 3 levels following, the warrior gains a bonus feat. This must be a combat feat of which they meet the prerequisites. If the warrior wishes to retrain their feat, they cannot retrain it to a feat of which they would not qualify for at the appropriate level.

Warrior talent (Ex): At 2^nd level, and every two levels following, the warrior gains a warrior talent. These are abilities that expand their skillset beyond normal combatants, training them in extraordinary skills in and out of battle.

Adrenaline rush: Once per day, the warrior can, when using a full-round action to gain adrenaline, instantly gain up to their maximum adrenaline. They can take this action one additional time at 10^th and 18^th level. This requires 4^th level.

Alchemical arrow: The warrior can use a lick of alchemist’s fire or acid, or other alchemical weapon to enhance a piece of ammunition as a swift action, and attack. This requires 4^th level.

Crushing blow: The warrior gains improved sunder as a bonus feat.

Counterblow: When the warrior is struck by an enemy while they are in full defense, the warrior may make an attack of opportunity against them as an immediate action.

Cyclone strike: When making a cleave, whirling strike, or whirlwind attack, the warrior deals 1 additional damage, doubling each consecutive target hit. This requires 10^th level.

Double strike: When dual-wielding, the warrior can, as a standard action, strike with both weapons at once, using the highest attack bonus. If the hit connects, the warrior deals the damage dice of both weapons plus their specialization and magical/enhancement modifiers, but only gain the benefits of other modifiers such as strength or power attack once. This requires 8^th level.

“Fear me!”: The warrior gains the ability to intimidate their enemies as the dazzling display feat, but does not require a weapon for the ability. At 8^th level, this is a standard action. At 16^th level, it is a move action. This counts as dazzling display for the purposes of feat prerequisites.

Final thrust: When using a piercing weapon, the warrior can deliver a coup de grace as a standard action once per day. They can deliver this blow one additional time at 15^th and 20^th level. This requires 10^th level.

“For great justice!”: Invigorating their allies as a standard action, the warrior grants a +1 morale bonus to attack and damage rolls, as well as saving throws to all allies and themselves for 1 round per level the warrior possesses. This bonus increases by 1 at 8^th and 16^th level, and can be used once per day, plus one additional time at 14^th and 18^th level. This ability requires 10^th level, and requires allies to hear the warrior.

One-handed thrower: The warrior treats any light or one-handed weapon as a thrown weapon, with a range increment of 10 ft. This talent requires 6^th level.

The target takes weapon damage as normal, and their movement is halved for a number of rounds equal to the warrior’s level, and can be removed early by magical healing or a DC 15 heal check. A successful fortitude save reduces the duration of this effect to one round. This attack is a standard action. This requires 6^th level.

Pommel bash: the warrior bashes the enemy with the pommel or hilt of their weapon as part of a standard attack. This deals damage one category lower than the weapon’s normal damage, and it dazes the enemy for one round (fortitude negates the daze). This requires 10^th level.

Rush: The warrior charges so quickly, it catches an enemy off-guard, making them flat-footed. This can be used once per day, plus one additional time for every 6 levels they possess. This ability also allows them to ready a charge action, moving up to their speed.
