Wrestler

Flying through the air, a tabaxi drops an elbow onto a goblin.

She immediately pulls the goblin into a headlock, and its eyes
roll back as it passes out.
A muscled half-orc pulls a masked human up by his neck.
He pulls the human's mask off, screams to the sky, and slams
his target's head to the floor.
A nimble halfling darts between the legs of a goliath,
making calculated strikes as he moves. The goliath begins to
slow, and soon collapses to the floor. The halfling jumps atop
his fallen foe and loudly counts to three.
Wrestlers fight by putting on a show, and using various
complex techniques to bring a foe to the ground. They often
end fights through knocking their opponents out or pinning
them to the floor.
The power of Hype
Wrestlers use a special resource called Hype. Wrestlers
quickly gain hype, but also quickly expend it as it powers many
of the moves they use. The best wrestlers know that fans
aren't necessary for hype, that the spirit of wrestling itself
drives their moves. As wrestlers train and become stronger,
their ability to gain and use hype allows them to gain true
mastery over wrestling.
A life in the spotlight
A wrestler lives on the mat. Whether this mat is in the center
of an arena or at the center of a goblin encampment matters
little. Most wrestlers make a lifestyle in the spotlight,
spreading their fame and earning prize money. When their
bodies grow old, most then turn to training and opening
wrestling schools, or managing a group of up-and-coming
wrestlers. In that sense, many wrestlers have a trainer or
master who trained them, or a team of friends who trained
together.
As adventurers, many wrestlers make a living through open-
invite tournaments and arena bouts until they get invited to a
large wrestling group such as Undercooked, SmashUp, or
Masked Men Below Sea Level. Some however strive to
adventure and spread their name across the globe.

Hype
At 1st level, you build hype as you execute attacks. Whenever
you successfully strike a target with an unarmed attack or
improvised weapon during your action or reaction, you gain
one hype. You can store a maximum amount of hype equal to
twice your wrestler level, represented in the Maximum Hype
column of the Wrestler table. The amount of hype you have
returns to zero at the end of a long rest, but does not dissipate
during a short rest.
You can spend hype to perform various special moves. You
start knowing two such moves: Run the Ropes and Hold. You
will gain more features that use hype as you gain levels in this
class.
If a special move would require your target to make a saving
throw, the saving throw DC will be provided with the skill.
Run the Ropes
You can spend 1 hype to take the dash action as a bonus
action on your turn.
Hold
You can spend 2 hype and attempt to initiate a grapple, trip, or
shove a target as a bonus action.
Unarmored Defense
Beginning at 1st level, while you are wearing no armor and
not wielding a shield, your AC equals 10 + your Dexterity
modifier + your Charisma modifier.
Fan Perspective
Starting at 2nd level, how the crowd views you begins to have
a significant impact on how you wrestle. You may select Face
or Heel for your fan perspective. Your choice will carry over
and provide additional abilities at 13th and 15th level.
Face
A wrestler who chooses to be a face will generally stand for
what is good and right. Often times, fans will cheer as you
make your way around, and you are generally seen as a
positive force. If you select face as your fan perspective, you
gain the following benefits at 2nd level.
You gain proficiency in the Persuasion skill. If you are
already proficient in persuasion, you gain expertise in the
Persuasion skill.
You generate one additional hype at the start of every
second turn in combat.
Heel
A wrestler who chooses to be a heel will generally wrestle for
themselves, or for a reason not supported by fans. Often
times, you will get booed or ignored as you make your way
around, and are generally seen as a negative force. If you
select heel as your fan perspective, you gain the following
benefits at 2nd level.
You gain proficiency in the Intimidation skill. If you are
already proficient in intimidation, you gain expertise in the
Intimidation skill.
You generate one additional hype for the first successful
attack you make with an improvised weapon during your
attack action. You may only gain this benefit once per turn.

Wrestling Style
When you reach 3rd level, you have become experienced
enough to evolve your own style of wrestling: Striker, High
Flyer, Heavyweight, or Technician. These wrestling styles are
detailed at the end of the class description. Your wrestling
style grants you features at 3rd level, and again at 7th, and
17th levels.
Working Hold
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to more optimally strike your
target from a grappling position. While you have a creature
grappled, you can expend 6 hype to gain advantage on the next
unarmed strike or improvised weapon attack against the
creature. If that attack hits, you deal an additional Wrestler's
Strike die of damage to the target.
You may use this feature in conjunction with any wrestler
feature that includes an attack roll, but you cannot use this
feature more than once during your turn.
Ability Score Improvement
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and
19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by
2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As
normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this
feature.
Extra Attack
Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once,
whenever you take the attack action on your turn.
Signature Move
Starting at 5th level, you gain the ability to perform a signature
move. During the attack action, you can choose to turn one of
your attacks into a signature move by spending 10 hype. You
must do this before you roll to attack. If you hit the target with
your signature move, the attack deals an additional two
Wrestler's Strike damage dice, and the target must succeed
on a strength based saving throw or fall prone. Additionally,
for the next 30 seconds you may perform a single finishing
move for half of the hype cost, if you are capable of doing so.
Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or
Dexterity modifier
Submission
Starting at 6th level, while you have an enemy grappled you
can, as an action, spend 12 hype and attempt to put an enemy
into a submission hold. Perform another grapple check, and
on a success both you and the grappled target are restrained.
At the beginning of the creature's turn the target makes a
constitution save, with the initial DC listed below. If they fail
the save, they lose the ability to perform actions on their turn.
Every time they fail the submission hold check, the
submission hold DC increases by 1. You gain one hype every
time the target fails a submission hold check.
If the target fails the submission hold check as many times
as the creature has hit dice, the creature falls unconscious
until the end of combat plus an additional 1d10 minutes.
Submission Hold DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus
Taunt
At 6th level, as an action you may spend 6 hype and taunt an
enemy. The target makes a Charisma save, and on a fail the
target has disadvantage when attacking any creature other
than you until the end of your next turn. This ability ends early
if another creature deals damage to the target.
Taunt DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma
modifier
Hyper Strikes
Starting at 7th level, your unarmed strikes and improvised
weapon attacks count as magical for the purpose of
overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks or
damage.
Comeback
Starting at 9th level, you gain a resurgence of energy when
you need it most. When you are below 1/3 of your maximum
health, you may activate your comeback on your turn. Doing
so grants you an additional action on that turn, as though you
had used an action surge, and you gain ten hype.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Counter
At 9th level, you gain the ability to counter an opponents
moves, lessening their impact on you. When a creature
declares an attack against you, you may use your reaction to
spend 8 hype and roll a single wrestler's strike die. Your armor
class is increased by the amount rolled for that attack, and if
the attack fails to hit you deal damage to the creature equal to
the amount rolled.
Finisher
At 10th level, you have developed a finishing move that is
unique to you as a wrestler. During your attack action, you can
choose to turn one of your attacks into a finishing move by
spending 20 hype. You must do this before you roll the attack.
If you hit the target with your finishing move, you add 5
wrestler's strike die to the damage of your attack and the
target falls prone after the attack. On your next turn, you may
perform a pin on the same target for half of the hype cost, if
you are capable of doing so.

are property of Wizards of the Coast. ©Wizards of the Coast LLC.
Additionally, the target must succeed on a constitution
saving throw or become stunned until the end of your next
turn.
Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Strength or
Dexterity modifier
Entrance
At 11th level, when you roll for initiative and have no hype, you
gain 4 hype.
Fan Perspective Feature
Based on the previous choice between Face and Heel at level
2, you gain an additional feature at level 13.
Face Comeback Recovery
As a face, when you perform your comeback, you are also
healed for 1/4 of your maximum health, rounded down.
Heel Improvised Weapon Improvement
As a heel, you deal additional damage with improvised
weapons. Starting at 13th level, you deal 1d10 damage when
you hit a target with improvised weapons. This increases to
1d12 at 17th level. Additionally, when you break an
improvised weapon on a target, you add an additional 1d6
damage, instead of 1d4, to the damage of the attack.
Promo Speech
Starting at 14th level, you can spend 5 minutes giving a promo
speech. For the next 10 minutes following the completion of
your promo speech, whenever you would gain a point of hype
you instead gain twice as many points of hype.
Once you use this ability, you can't use it again until you
have finished a long rest.
Fan Perspective Finisher
Based on the previous choice between Face and Heel at level
2, you gain the ability to perform a special finishing move at
level 15.
Face Finisher
When you perform a finishing move, you feel a resurgence of
strengh. After you complete your finishing move, you may
regain hit points equal to half of the damage dealt by your
finishing move.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Heel Finisher
Your brutality extends to your finishing move. When you
succesfully land a finishing move, you may choose to perform
it with an improvised weapon, if you have one available. Doing
so adds an additional 2 improvised weapon die to the damage
of your finishing move, and, if possible, the improvised
weapon also breaks on the target dealing 1d6 damage of the
improvised weapon's type to the target. The improvised
weapon die you add is found in your level 13 fan perspective
feature.
Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you
finish a long rest.
Main Event
Starting at 18th level, you gain the ability to declare yourself
the main event. As an action, you can spend 15 hype and
cause all targets within a 30 foot radius centered on yourself
to make a Charisma saving throw, with the DC outlined below.
Anyone who fails the save can only attack you for one minute,
and you gain resistance to nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing,
and slashing damage they deal. They get a save at the end of
each of their turns and each time a creature other than you
inflicts damage to them to end this effect early.
Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma
modifier
Pin
At 20th level, you have learned to pin your target to the floor
with mastery. For 40 hype, you may replace one of your
attacks during the attack action with an attempt to pin a single
target. When you do so, you initiate a grapple check against a
single target. You have advantage on this grapple attempt if
the target is prone. If you successfully grapple the target, the
target falls prone and is restrained.
If you maintain the grapple for two additional turns, the
target falls unconscious until combat ends plus an additional
1d10 minutes. If you or the target are damaged during the pin
attempt, the grapple ends.

Springboard Strike
Starting at 3rd level, you learn to leap from an object into an
opponent. Once per turn during your attack action, you may
spend 4 hype and replace one of your attacks with a
springboard strike, which must be declared before you roll to
attack. When you do so, you use a wall or similar standing
object within 5 feet of you to leap up to 10 feet towards a
target, which does not count against your movement for the
turn. If there is no standing object nearby, an ally can act as
one by using their reaction.
If you successfully hit with this attack, you deal an
additional wrestler's strike die in damage for every 5 feet you
flew at your target. If you miss this attack, you roll a wrestler's
strike die for every 5 feet you flew at your target, and take half
of the total (rounded up) as bludgeoning damage.

the creature into the air. While you have a grappled creature
lifted you suffer no reduction to movement, and you deal an
additional wrestler's strike die in damage each time you
successfully hit the creature.
Drop
When you have a grappled creature lifted, you can
powerfully drop them to the floor. You may replace an attack
during your attack action with the drop attack, which must be
declared before you roll to hit. If you successfully hit the
creature with this attack, you deal an additional two wrestler's
strike die in damage, and you generate three additional hype.
Whether you hit or miss with this attack your grapple with
the creature ends following the attack.
