Labrys Knight (5e Class)
Labrys Knight
The hardened warrior approaches the giant Ogre and winks. The Ogre firmly plants his feet in preparation for battle. As the Ogre swings his massive club, the warrior parries with his axe and in a swift movement sweeps underneath the club and slices through the Ogre's stomach. The warrior stands, wipes his brow, and watches as the Ogre's bust slides off it's lower torso falling to the ground.
A group of adventures charge into battle. In the front line, an aged warrior charges, taunting his opponents. He stops and surrounds himself with the most dangerous creatures in the battle. He glares at them and within moments the battle begins. The warrior is sliced and diced by many creatures, but this does not stop him. He pushes on and vanquishes his opponents. As he cleans his blood drenched eyes, he smirks and says, "Is that all you got".

You can add your ability modifier to the damage of the bonus attack. You may draw or stow two weapons when you would normally be able to draw or stow one. You cannot stack this ability with the Dual Wielder feat.
Intimidate
Starting at 2nd level, your mere presence strikes fear into your opponents. Your labrys knight level determines your Charisma (Intimidation) bonus. This bonus can be used in several different ways. The bonus must be announced before initiative is rolled, and must be used as the same modifier for the duration of the battle. You can use the bonus the following ways: add the bonus to initiative, to Attack rolls, or to your armor class. After a long rest your choice is reset.
