I have a player who is fond of defensive builds, as well as the desire to have a class of enemy that is extremely tough to defeat. Being dissatisfied with the standard sword & board fighter, I wanted to create a class that focused on defense instead of attack (but could still contribute in combat). This was the result.
does the Base attack have iterative attacks or do they only gain one attack per round total, i actually like the idea of a base class not gaining iterative attacks.
They would gain iterative attacks as normal, though you wouldn't have to use them if you didn't want to.
