Inigo Montoya: You are using Bonetti's Defense against me, ah?
Man in Black: I thought it fitting considering the rocky terrain.
Inigo Montoya: Naturally, you must expect me to attack with Capo Ferro?
Man in Black: Naturally, but I find that Thibault cancels out Capo Ferro. Don't you?
Inigo Montoya: Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa... which I have!

Man in Black and Inigo Montoya, Princess Bride (1987).

Fencers represent the pinnacle of elegant swordplay. They move with a grace unmatched by most, parrying blows and countering attacks with swift thrusts of their blades. They thrive in melee, where their skill with the blade allows them to make sudden attacks against clumsy foes and to cripple opponents with thrusts of the blade. Fencers fight using geometry. Judging distance, viewing the patterns of the battlefield, and controlling distance is essential in fencing. Fencers mainly as a line along which both opponents move, but circular geometric patterns are also used.

Class Features

As a fighter, you gain the following class features.

1st level: Fencing School

Different fencing masters have developed fencing techniques that can be mastered by fencers as they advance in levels. Each such technique gives the fencer certain advantages. You gain a fencing school ability at 1st level and again at level 3, 6, 9, 13, and 17. The fencing school abilities to choose from are listed in their own section below.

1st level: Guard

When wearing no armor or light armor and not wielding a shield you add your Proficiency Bonus to your armor class.

1st Level: Parry

You can use a reaction to parry the melee attacks of other creatures. To parry an attack, the fencer makes an attack roll. If this roll is greater than the attack roll of the attacking creature, the parry succeeds and the original attack misses.

2nd Level: Precision

When you hit with a fencing weapon add 1d4 to your damage. This damage is of the same type as the damage the weapon inflicts and increases as you increase in level, see the Fencer table.

To use this ability, you must wield a a precision weapon. Precision weapons are the club, dagger, rapier, scimitar, and short sword. The short sword used by fencers has a thin blade and is often called a foil or smallsword, but is identical to the normal short sword in game terms.

Fencing schools can add to your choice of precision weapons.

3rd Level: Fencer Subclass

**Fencing Subclass**
Academic Agent Conjurer Courtier Duelist Engineer Fencing Master Legate Medico Officer Scaramouch Scoundrel

At 3rd level you choose a subclass, careers that add abilities outside the normal range of fencer skills. You gain additional abilities from your chosen subclass at level 7. 13, and 15.

5th Level: Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

10th Level: Aggressive Dodge

When taking the Dodge action, you can make a single melee attack.

20th Level: Fencing Mastery

At 20th level, you can use all fencing schools.

Fencing Schools

These are the fighting schools available to fencers.

Acuity

The Ghisliero or concentric school views the battlefield as a series of concentric circles around the fencer. It focuses on situation awareness and combating many opponents simultaneously. See Frederico Ghisliero @ Wikipedia.

Add +2 to your AC when you are within 5 feet of two or more enemies.

Armored

This is a school taught in the military, that incorporates more armor and basic fighting drill. Military fencers usually put more emphasis on Strength than Dexterity. Often combined with Armsmaster, but if you do so you might try the fighter class instead.

You gain proficiency in medium and heavy armor and with shields.

Armsmaster

This school claims to be universal, a combat technique applicable to all melee weapons. Many armsmasters focus on Strength over Dexterity. See Emanuelle Grazzi @ Wikipedia. Often combined with Armored, but if you do so you might try the fighter class instead.

All melee weapons are precision weapons to you.

Audacity

This is both a fighting style and a sport popular at universities. Called academic fencers, such students often have facial scars that they show off with pride as a demonstration of bravery. The school focuses on facing peril unflinchingly and sudden moves at the opportune time. See academic fencing @ Wikipedia.

You are immune to the Frightened condition.

Capers

You love acrobatic tricks like wide jumps, swinging on ropes and chandeliers, and fighting in the rigging of a ship. See Jack Sparrow @ Wikipedia, but also a host of other swashbuckling books and films.

You can use a bonus action to take the Escape action. When you do so, you can move through the space of enemies. Occupied spaces still count as difficult ground to you. The DM may allow you to ignore such difficult ground if you describe an interesting stunt, but may call for Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks to succeed at particularly daring maneuvers.

Cavalry

A school focused on mounted fencing. See George Patton @ Wikipedia.

You gain the Mounted Combatant feat:

You are a dangerous foe to face while mounted. While you are mounted and aren't incapacitated, you gain the following benefits:

You have advantage on melee attack rolls against any unmounted creature that is smaller than your mount.
You can force an attack targeted at your mount to target you instead.
If your mount is subjected to an effect that allows it to make Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, it instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.

En Garde

This school has an easy and relaxed style, using a one-handed weapon to attack and parry while keeping one hand free for tricks, feints, and flourishes. The free hand is often used to hold a cloak, hat, or other accessory that is further used to distract the opponent, but a hand crossbow, pistol, or another melee weapon can be used in the off hand. See Camillio Agrippa and Bolongese Swordsmanship @ Wikipedia.

When not wielding a shield and armed with a melee weapon that lacks the two-handed or versatile properties, you gain a +1 bonus to AC. You can still use your other hand normally.

Fleche

In many ways the "standard" fencing school, Capo Ferro focuses on attack speed and devastating thrusts. See Ridolfo Capo Ferro @ Wikipedia.

Your fencing attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 19 to 20. During your turn, your reach increases by 5 feet.

Footwork

A school stressing being alert to positioning and terrain, to be able to lunge and retreat safely.

You ignore difficult ground when in combat. You are still affected by difficult terrain when traveling.

Hard Knocks

The school of life teaches harsh tricks focused on street survival. See savate @ wikipedia for a tradition developed from street-fighting roots.

You can make a Shove as a bonus action. Your unarmed attacks are precision weapons, and your unarmed attacks do 1d4 damage.

Main Gauche

Focusing on two-weapon fighting, the Marozzo school offers great rewards to the dedicated student. See Achille Marozzo @ Wikipedia.

You can use two-weapon fighting even when one of the melee weapons you are wielding isn't light.
You can draw or stow two one-handed weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow only one.
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

Riposte

This school encourages the opponent to attack recklessly, which is then immediately punished with a deft riposte. See France Dacine @ Wikipedia.

When you use Parry and the attack misses, you can immediately make a melee attack against the attacker.

Rodear

A school based on evasion, positioning, and always keeping your options open. The Destreza school, sometimes called the Bonetti school, views the battle as a round stage as opposed to the more linear approach of most styles. As a result, Destreza fencers move sideways more than back and forward and need more space to excel. See Destreza @ Wikipedia.

To use Rondear , you must first move at least 5 feet. This uses your normal Speed and can trigger attacks of opportunity. After moving you can take the Dodge action as a bonus action. This does not allow you to use Aggressive Dodge.

Staff

A precursor to modern fencing, the yeoman style was developed among civilian free men. See Quarterstaff @ Wikipedia.

You can use the quarterstaff as a precision weapon gains the finesse quality in your hands.

Swashbuckler

Swashbuckling is the sound made when you carry a sword and shield together, and they clash against each other, making a cocky metallic sound. See Rodeleros and also Swashbuckler @ Wikipedia.

You gain proficiency with shields and can use the Guard ability when wielding a shield.

Fencer Subclasses

Fencers don't think magic is alien or even exotic, but only a select few actually learn to use such abilities themselves.

Greyhawk: Universities often house fencing schools, combining magical studies with arms is just one path among many.

Cantrips

You learn two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn an additional wizard cantrip of your choice at 10th level.

Spell Slots

The Conjurer Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Shield and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Shield using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

You know three 1st-level wizard spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the divination, necromancy, and transmutation spells on the wizard spell list.

The Spells Known column of the Eldritch Knight Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be a divination, necromancy, or transmutation spell of your choice, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic.

Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the wizard spells you know with another spell of your choice from the wizard spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be a divination, necromancy, or transmutation spell, unless you're replacing the spell you gained at 3rd, 8th, 14th, or 20th level from any school of magic.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your spells through study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn the Intimidation skill. If you already know this skill, pick any other skill to learn instead.

As a bonus action you can challenge a single creature within 30 feet you share a language with. Until the end of your next turn, that creature suffers disadvantage on attacks against any creature other than you.

Light Touch

At 7th level you have perfected your stance and grip on your weapon. You cannot be disarmed or knocked prone. When you are forced to move, the distance you are moved is not changed, but you decide how you move.

Repartee

At 11th level you have mastered the art of posturing. You can use Combat Banter against any creature with an Intelligence of 2 or more, regardless of language. You gain advantage when you use Parry or the Riposte fencing school ability against a creature affected by your Combat Banter.

Confidence

At 15th level you gain proficiency with Wisdom and Charisma saving throws.

Legate

This is a Fencer subclass for 5A.

A legate is connected to the church, often a representative for a larger church, but sometimes working for their own personal faith.

Greyhawk With the new religious conflicts rising and fencers the wave of the future, a religious fencer is like a fish in water.

Divine Classes

There are many sources of power in all the many worlds, but the most well-known and most respected is that of the divine. Some call this miracles, some say its astral magic, everyone agrees the healing and enhancements are nice. Clerics and Paladins are the masters of this magic, but others practice it as well in certain subclasses such as the barbarian Zealot, bard Chanter, fencer Legate, rogue Holy Slayer and Saint of Sinners, sorcerer Divine Soul, warlock Celestial Patron, and wizard Astral Magic and Theurgist.

Spellcasting

When you reach 3rd level, you augment your martial prowess with the ability to cast cleric spells.

Spell Slots The Legate Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Cure Wounds and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Cure Wounds using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher You know three 1st-level cleric spells of your choice from your spell list. Your spell list is made up of all cleric spells as well as any spells gained from the Legate Domain feature, below. The Spells Known column of the Legate Spellcasting table shows when you learn more cleric spells of 1st level or higher. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the cleric spells you know with another spell of your choice from the cleric spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability Wisdom is your spellcasting ability for your cleric spells. The power of your spells comes from your devotion to your deity. You use your Wisdom whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Wisdom modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a cleric spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier

Legate Domain

Beginning when you become a Legate at 3rd level, you choose a domain. Your choice grants you domain spells and other features when you choose it at 3rd level. It also grants you additional ways to use Channel Divinity and additional benefits at 7th level. Replace any mention of heavy armor in a domain description by medium armor.

Domain Spells Each domain has a list of spells-its domain spells that you gain and the level a cleric would gain these domain spells. You add all these spells to your spell list at level 3, but you cannot cast them until you can cast spells of the appropriate level and pick them as known spells. If you have a domain spell that doesn't appear on the cleric spell list, the spell is nonetheless a cleric spell for you.

At 3rd level, you gain your chosen domain’s 1st-level benefits.
At 7th level, you gain your chosen domain’s 6th-level benefits.

When a domain feature mentions your cleric level, use your fencer level instead. When a domain feature mentions heavy armor, replace that mention by medium armor, but does not grant the ability to use that armor along with the Guard feature. When a domain feature allows a saving throw, use your spell saving throw DC. When a domain feature requires Channel Divinity to be used, you can power these abilities one, regaining the ability when you finish a long or short rest.

Combat Superiority

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you learn maneuvers that are fueled by special dice called superiority dice.

Maneuvers. You learn three maneuvers of your choice. Many maneuvers enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one maneuver per attack. You learn two additional maneuvers of your choice at 7th, 11th, and 15th level. Each time you learn new maneuvers, you can also replace one maneuver you know with a different one.

Superiority Dice. You have four superiority dice, which are d8s. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain all of your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest. You gain another superiority die at 7th level and one more at 15th level.

Saving Throws. Some of your maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the maneuver's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Dexterity modifier

Know Your Enemy

Starting at 7th level, if you spend at least 1 minute observing or interacting with another creature outside combat, you can learn certain information about its capabilities compared to your own. The DM tells you if the creature is your equal, superior, or inferior in regard to two of the following characteristics of your choice:

Strength score
Dexterity score
Constitution score
Armor Class
Current hit points
Total class levels, if any
Fencer class levels, if any

Hamstring Attack

Source: En5ider 48.

When you deal slashing damage to a creature, you may expend a superiority die to slow its movement. You add the superiority die to the attack’s damage roll and the target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failure, the target’s speed is reduced to 10 feet until the end of your next turn.

Inner Calm

When you fail a saving throw to end an ongoing effect, you can expend one superiority die to add the result to your roll. Source: Ensider 22.

Living Shield

Menacing Attack

When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one superiority die to attempt to frighten the target. You add the superiority die to the attack's damage roll, and the target must make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, it is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.
