* +1 to attack rolls
* +2 to damage rolls
* +3 to initiative rolls
* +25% range increment

## Martial Archetypes

Different fighters choose different approaches to perfecting their fighting prowess. The martial archetype you choose to emulate reflects your approach.

##### **Great Weapon Fighting**

Your range for scoring a critical with any two handed weapon you wield is increased by one (i.e. normally you now score a critical on a 19 and 20). This bonus stacks with other bonuses that increase your critical hit range.

##### **Pole-arm Fighting**

If you're wielding a pole-arm with the reach property,creatures provoke an attack of opportunity if they enter your reach.

##### **Protection**

If the attack against your ally misses due to your intervention, you can immediately make a melee attack against the triggering opponent as part of your reaction.

You can now wield two weapons without the light quality. However if your off-hand weapon has the light quality, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

#### **Superior Critical**

Starting at 15th level, your weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 18–20.

#### **Survivor**

At 18th level, you attain the pinnacle of resilience in battle. At the start of each of your turns, you regain hit points equal to 5 + your Constitution modifier if you have no more than half of your hit points left. You don’t gain this benefit if you have 0 hit points.
