Creating a Gladiator

Example Build:

Combat Styles You choose to use Intelligence or Charisma as your key gladiator ability score. Once made, this choice cannot be changed without significant retraining. The chosen ability is what is used for your unarmored defense, as well as other abilities you gain that refer to your key gladiator ability score.

• If you choose Intelligence: You gain proficiency in three skills or tools (any combination) of your choice. The skills must be intelligence or wisdom based.
  • At 5th, you may use your intelligence in place of dexterity when attacking with finesse weapons. You may also use inspiring surge as a reaction to gain a bonus to AC instead of attack and damage (you still gain the temporary hit points or healing as normal).
  • At 9th, you may use inspiring surge whenever you make a skill check, before making the roll. If you fail the skill check, you do not expend a use of inspiring surge. If you are not in combat, you do not gain the temporary hit points or healing from inspiring surge.
  • At 12th,
  • At 18th,
• If you choose Charisma: You gain proficiency in persuasion and intimidation (or another skill of your choice if you were already proficient from your background or blood pact), and expertise in a charisma-based skill of your choice that you are already proficient in.
  • At 5th, when using inspiring surge, you may add your charisma modifier to the temporary hit points gained and to the amount healed when below half your maximum hit points.
  • At 9th, you may use inspiring surge whenever you roll a saving throw, after you have made the roll (potentially turning a failure into a success).
  • At 12th,
  • At 18th,

Inspiring Surge You have a pool of inner reserves, allowing you to strike a fearsome blow and recover morale in the same fell swoop. When you make an attack with a weapon or unarmed strike, you may spend an inspiring surge to roll a d6, gaining the result as a bonus to your attack and damage roll for that attack, and you gain temporary hit points equal to the result plus your proficiency bonus.

You may use inspiring surge a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and recover all expended uses on completing a short rest.
