📋 About This Mod
Description
This is an adaptation of the Fencer Roguish Archetype by LaserLlama. This adds Battlemaster like maneuvers called Exploits that expand the Rogues martial capabilities and aims to let them be an accomplished front line attacker by combining reactions, exploits and sneak attacks. I have deviated a bit from the homebrew both due to system limitations and personal balance choices which will be noted below if you are curious about what they are or my reasoning. I may change them in future if this turns out to be over or under-tuned but for now I'm happy enough with it for a 1. 0 release. And now with a custome subclass icon courtesy of the incredible Dragonify03!
While most warriors focus on overcoming their foes through strength of arms or brute force, the archetypal Fencer does so through precise strikes and superior martial abilities. What they lack in overwhelming strength and stamina, they make up for with their finesse, skill, and technique.

- Fencer's Exploits: You receive 2 Exploit Dice and learn 2 Exploits. The exploit dice are D4s increasing by one size at levels 5,9,13, and 17. Whenever your dice increase in size you also learn a new exploit and get an additional die.
6th Level(Optional, If you do not want this addition for w/e reason I have added a patch as an optional file that removes it.)
-Expert Duelist: You've become so adept with your blade that it flicks out faster than the eye can see. If you take the attack action while wielding only a one handed finesse weapon you may take an additional attack.
-Sharp reflexes: You receive +4 bonus to initiative rolls allowing you to position and deal with threats immediately
-Counterattack: When a creature hits you with a melee attack you can Counterattack as a reaction. Any Exploit you use as part of this attack does not cost an Exploit Die.
-All exploit saving throws have a dc = 8 + Proficiency + the higher of Dex and Str
-Debilitating Strike: When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend an Exploit Die and force it to make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failure,
the creature takes additional damage equal to your Exploit Die and its speed is reduced to 0 until the end of it's turn
-Disarming Strike: When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you ca
