Fighting Style

You adopt a particular style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can't take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

Defense

While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.

Dueling

When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.

Great Weapon Fighting

When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

Two-Weapon Fighting

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

Unarmored Defense

While you are wearing no armor and not wielding a shield, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Constitution modifier.

Unarmored Movement

Starting at 2nd level, your speed increases by 10 feet while you are not wearing armor or wielding a shield. This bonus increases when you reach certain Elemental Fighter levels, as shown in the table.

At 9th level, you gain the ability to move along vertical surfaces and across liquids on your turn without falling during the move.

Elemental Art Style

At 3rd level, you choose an elemental art style that you learn from. Choose between the following styles; Fire Style, Ice Style, Lightning style, and Stone Style. Each Elemental Art Style is detailed at the end of the class description. The art style you choose grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level.

Stamina Points

Unlike other users of the arcane, Elemental Fighters use their own internal stamina to fuel their discipline's powers and abilities, each ability you use will drain stamina points, some abilities are more draining than others, and some give the option to use addition stamina to strengthen an ability. As you further train your body, your stamina improves at each level.

Additional Attack

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

The number of attacks increases to three when you reach 11th level in this class and to four when you reach 20th level in this class.

Mark of Power

At 5th level, due to your enhanced training, you can enter a state of power not possible by normal means, this state enhances your physical powers and improves your senses beyond a normal beings, by raising your heart beat to deadly levels. This state lasts for 4 rounds, and cannot be used twice per battle, regardless of the maximum amount of times you can activate it.

In this state, you are immune to being frightened, charmed and stunned, and ignore all levels of exhaustion. You gain advantage on all attack and damage rolls, even if you would be at disadvantage otherwise.You can see every part of your enemy, and can find out their weak points immediately, you gain +5 to attack rolls, through your mark, you can empower your weapon and your use of it, all damage rolls get a +6d6 damage modifier. You can also travel at twice your normal speed.

After the state ends, or the battle finishes before it ends, your speed immediately drops to 0, and you are incapacitated for 4 hours. The amount of times this can be used increases at 10th level to 2, and increases again to 3 at 20th level. When the state ends and you still have uses left over, instead of becoming incapacitated, you become fatigued, and require a minimum of 30 minutes of rest or light activity to go back to normal.
