Special abilities
  • Athlete. The grandmaster only uses 5 feet of movement when standing from prone and can make a running jump after moving only 5 feet rather than 10.
  • Evasion. When the grandmaster makes a Dexterity saving throw against an effect that deals half damage on a success, they take no damage on a success and half damage on a failure.
  • Magic Resistance. The grandmaster has advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects.
  • Mobile. After the grandmaster makes a melee attack against a creature on their turn, until the end of their turn they do not provoke opportunity attacks from that creature.
  • Reactive. The grandmaster can take a reaction on each creatures turn.
  • Stunning Strike (1/Turn). When the grandmaster hits a creature with a melee attack, they can force it to make a DC 18 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, it is stunned until the end of the grandmasters next turn.
  • Unarmored Defense. The grandmasters AC equals 10 + their Dexterity modifier + their Wisdom modifier.
