Welby Hawkshaw — Traits & Class Features

You ignore the first failed death save. If you suffer a critical hit or roll a 1 on a death save and you use this ability it will count as only one failed death save. Once you reach 14th level in fighter you ignore two failed death saves. Once you have used this ability you must take a long rest before you can use it again.

At 7th level you may use your reaction against one melee or missile attack to reduce the damage inflicted by the attack by 1d4 + proficiency bonus + strength or dexterity bonus as long as you have a weapon or shield equipped. At 10th level the dice increases to d6, at 13th level to d8, at 16th level to d10, and at 19th level this does not take your reaction but may only be used once per round as long as you do not have a condition that prevents you taking a reaction.

At 9th level, if you are able to move into a willing or unconscious ally’s square of your size or less you can use your bonus action to move them into an adjacent square. If you do this you may not be subject to another character’s Stand Aside action until after the end of your next turn.

At 15th level you are not affected by the limitation in the last sentence of this ability.

When you take the dodge action you may make a single weapon attack as part of that action. This attack counts as an attack enabling you to use your bonus action to attack.

When you have a magic weapon that is one of your eldritch weapons you may use it as a spell focus and add its attack bonus to hit with spell attacks.

At 14th level you may improve one fighting style that you have. If you are a Champion you may improve two fighting styles.

• Archery: If at the start of your turn you are adjacent to a hostile creature your movement on your turn does not provoke opportunity attacks from that creature.
• Defence: Your armour class increases by +1.
• Dueling: Your +2 damage bonus increases to +5.
• Great Weapon Fighting: If you roll a 1 or a 2, instead of re-rolling the die it is counted as if you rolled the maximum number on the rolled dice.
• Protection: Providing protection to neighbouring allies is automatic and no longer requires your reaction.
• Dual Wielder: While wielding a weapon in each hand you may make 2 attacks with your off hand as a bonus action.

The following styles replace those of the same name found in the Fighter, Paladin, and Ranger classes.

• Archery You gain a +1 bonus to attack rolls and a +1 to Weapon Damage rolls you make with ranged or thrown weapons.
• Defence You gain a +1 bonus to hit points per level.
• Dueling When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, or wielding a versatile weapon in two hands, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
• Great Weapon Fighting When you roll weapon damage dice for an attack with a melee weapon wielded with two hands, you can reroll any of the dice and must use the new roll.
• Two Weapon Fighting When you engage in two weapon fighting, you can add your whole ability modifier to the damage of the second attack and if you choose to defend as your bonus action you add +2 to your AC.

At 12th level you may use this ability twice between short rests.

Disregard the phrase “on your turn” at the end of the first sentence in each instance of this class feature. This change applies to Barbarian, Fighter, Monk, Paladin, Ranger, and the College of Valor.

The rerolled saving throw may be made using your Str or Con saving throw bonus.

In addition to choosing from the wizard spells listed, the Eldritch Knight also may choose to memorise any of:

• Thunderous Smite
• Searing Smite
• Branding Smite
• Staggering Smite

In addition to the PHB ability: once a round when you hit with an attack you may imbue your weapon with a minor effect of a cantrip of your choice that you know. You may use this ability a number of times equal to your intelligence modifier + 1 (minimum 1), renewing on a short rest. Once you are 11th level the damage dice are increased to be the same as the cantrip. Once you reach 15th level the number of uses per short rest doubles.

• Firebolt: Opponent takes 1d6 fire damage.
• Shocking Grasp: Opponent takes 1d4 lightning damage and any opportunity attack they make is made at disadvantage.
• Ray of Frost: Opponent takes 1d4 cold damage and loses 10′ of movement.
• Chill Touch: Opponent takes 1d4 necrotic damage and any hit points they regain until the beginning of your next turn are halved.
• Acid Splash: Opponent takes 1d3 acid damage and a person of your choice adjacent to your opponent also takes this damage.

Starting at 10th level, once per short rest when you hit a creature with a melee weapon you may expend one Arcane spell to deal force damage to the target in addition to the weapon damage. The extra damage is 1d10 damage per spell level. In addition, a creature struck by this effect must make a Wisdom saving throw or be staggered (disadvantage on attack rolls and ability checks and can’t take reactions) until the beginning of your next turn.

Arcane Charge may be used when you use your Second Wind as well as your Action Surge.

When you have a magic weapon that is one of your eldritch weapons you may use it as a spell focus and add its attack bonus to hit with spell attacks.
