If you want to adjust the fighter class to better suit your own campaign and playstyle, then consider these variant dials.
Multiclassing
If your campaign supports multiclassing, then apply these modifiers when taking the fighter as a multiclass option:
- Minimum Requirement: Strength 13 or Dexterity 13.
- Proficiencies: Light armor, medium armor, shields, simple weapons, martial weapons.
- Maneuvers: You can't use any mastered maneuvers until you are 3rd-level.
Restricted Retraining
If you want to make retraining a little more significant or costly for the fighter, try using these options.
Sanctuary
To change your fighting styles or maneuvers, you must be in a safe sanctuary—such as a village, town, or city—where you are able to concentrate on your training.
Facilities
To change your fighting styles or maneuvers, you must have access to appropriate facilities—training grounds, practice weapons, sparring partners and mentors, etc.
Short Rest Recovery
This supplement emphasizes taking long rests as a primary recovery mechanic. But if you want to put more of a focus on taking short rests for the fighter, use this alternative class table.
