subclass options:
Battle Mastery
Fury burns in every battle savant’s heart, a furnace that drives him or her toward greatness. Different battle savants attribute their fury to different sources, however. For some, it is an internal reservoir where pain, grief, and anger are forged into a rage hard as steel. Others see it as a spiritual blessing, a gift of the wilds. To a few, fury is a weakness unless controlled, honed like the blade they wield to cut only when they wish for it do so. Different battle savants use their fury to enhance their battle powers differently.Rage Mastery
Some battle savants focus their fury into a blind rage, rage is a means to an end—that end being violence. Rage mastery is a mastery of untrammeled fury, slick with blood. As you enter the rage of fury, you thrill in the chaos of battle, heedless of your own health or well-being.Raging Fury
Starting when you choose this path at 3rd level, you can go into a Rage when you enter Fury. As a bonus action while in Rage, you can make one weapon attack with a weapon you are currently wielding. When you do so, you cannot spend Fury Dice to gain damage resistances until the start of your next turn. This Rage for the duration of the Fury.Mindless Rage

If the creature can see or hear you, it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw (DC equal to 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Strength modifier) or be frightened of you until the end of your next turn. On subsequent turns, you can use a bonus action to extend the duration of this effect on the frightened creature until the end of your next turn. This effect ends if the creature ends its turn out of line of sight or more than 60 feet away from you. If the creature succeeds on its saving throw, you can’t use this feature on that creature again until you or that creature finishes a long rest.Retaliation
Starting at 14th level, when you take damage from a creature that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature.Blade Mastery
The fury of a blade master is a silent, merciless and deadly intent that suffuses their blades like an aura. Blade masters draw on their fury like other battle savants, but they wield it like another blade rather than give in to it, unleashing the full power of their fury without losing sight of their goal. While swords are the most popular weapon for these battle savants, they are not restricted to such weapons alone. The philosophy behind their power can be applied to any melee weapon of their choice.Fighting Style

- Superior Technique. You learn one maneuver of your choice from among those available to the Battle Master archetype.

You gain one superiority die, which is a d6 (this die is added to any superiority dice you have from another source). This die is used to fuel your maneuvers. A superiority die is expended when you use it. You regain your expended superiority dice when you finish a short or long rest.
