Fighter
Fighters are the most versatile and skilled combatants in Dungeons & Dragons, excelling in a variety of weapon and armor types. They master all basic combat styles and then specialize in specific areas such as archery, dual-wielding, or combat magic. Their training encompasses broad combat knowledge and deep expertise in chosen techniques, making them formidable on both battlefields and in dungeons. Fighters can come from various backgrounds, including soldiers, knights, and mercenaries, and some turn to adventuring for greater rewards and challenges. Their combat skills and experience make them effective in facing both everyday and extraordinary dangers.

Arcane Archer
An Arcane Archer studies a unique elven method of archery that weaves magic into attacks to produce supernatural effects. Arcane Archers are some of the most elite warriors among the elves. They stand watch over the fringes of elven domains, keeping a keen eye out for trespassers and using magic-infused arrows to defeat monsters and invaders before they can reach elven settlements. Over the centuries, the methods of these elf archers have been learned by members of other races who can also balance arcane aptitude with archery.

Arcane Shot options:
-
Banishing Arrow (Bonus Action, requires a hit)
-
You use abjuration magic to try to banish your target to a harmless location in the Feywild. The creature hit by the arrow must also succeed on a Charisma saving throw or be banished for 1 turn.
-
While banished in this way, its speed is 0, and it may only cast spells on itself or use consumables.

Beguiling Arrow (Bonus Action, requires a hit)
-
Your enchantment magic causes this arrow to temporarily beguile its target. The creature hit by the arrow takes an extra 2d6 psychic damage.
-
Choose one of your allies within 4 tiles of the target. The target must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw, or it is charmed by the chosen ally until the start of your next turn.
-
This effect ends early if the chosen ally attacks the charmed target, deals damage to it, or forces it to make any saving throw.
-
-
Bursting Arrow (Bonus Action Requires a hit)

You imbue your arrow with force energy drawn from the school of evocation. The arrow detonates after your attack.

Immediately after the arrow hits the creature, the target and all other creatures within 2 tiles of it take 2d6 force damage each.

Enfeebling Arrow (Bonus Action, Requires a hit)

Grasping Arrow (Bonus Action, Requires a hit)

When this arrow strikes its target, conjuration magic creates grasping, poisonous brambles, which wrap around the target.
-
The creature hit by the arrow takes an extra 2d6 poison damage, receives the Restrained condition, and it takes 1d6 slashing damage once per turn.
-
The target can use its action to remove the brambles with a successful Strength (Athletics) check against your Arcane Shot save DC. Otherwise, the brambles last for 3 turns or until you use this option again.
-
-
Piercing Arrow (1 Attack Action + Bonus Action)
-
You use transmutation magic to give your arrow an ethereal quality. When you use this option, you don’t make an attack roll for the attack.
-
Instead, the arrow fires forward in a line, which is 0.1 Tile wide and has the same range as your equipped weapon, before disappearing.
-
The arrow passes harmlessly through objects, ignoring Line of Sight.
-
Each creature in that line must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes damage as if it were hit by the arrow, plus an extra 1d6 piercing damage. On a successful save, a target takes half as much damage.
-
-
Seeking Arrow (1 Attack Action + Bonus Action)
-
Using divination magic, you grant your arrow the ability to seek out your target. When you use this option, you don’t make an attack roll for the attack. Instead, choose one creature you have seen in the last turn.
-
The arrow ignores Line of Sight and turns in its flight, but cannot pass through walls.
-
The target must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, it takes damage as if it were hit by the arrow, plus an extra 1d6 force damage, its Invisibility status is dispelled, and you learn the target’s current location.
-
On a successful save, the target takes half as much damage, and you don’t learn its location. Cannot be used on targets protected from Divination magic, Banished, or when your arrow’s path to the target is obstructed.
-
-
Shadow Arrow (Bonus Action, requires a hit)

Battle master
Battle masters were fighters that studied and practiced longstanding fighting techniques passed down through generations of warfare. These individuals were considered among the most cultured and academically-minded warriors of the Realms. They were often practiced in non-combat trades such as smithing or other forms of crafting. By studying their foes in combat, battle masters could glean information about their martial capabilities. Battle masters developed special attacks or other moves they utilized in combat, known as 'maneuvers'. Each battle master had enough endurance to perform a few of these specialized moves each day, and developed the capacity for more as they garnered more experience in battle.

Eldritch Knight
Eldritch Knight combines the martial mastery common to all fighters with a careful study of magic. Eldritch Knights use magical techniques similar to those practiced by wizards. They focus their study on two of the eight schools of magic: abjuration and evocation.
Abjuration spells grant an Eldritch Knight additional protection in battle, and evocation spells deal damage to many foes at once, extending the fighter's reach in combat. These knights learn a comparatively small number of spells, committing them to memory instead of keeping them in a spellbook.
