  1. Momentum Warrior

    You can wield two weapons at once with incredible flow and skill, gaining the following benefits while you wield at least two weapons in at least two different hands:

    • Weapons you wield move down a weight tier. Heavy and/or Two-Handed weapons lose those properties, Light weapons gain the Finesse property, weapons without the Heavy or Light property gain the Light property.
    • While attacking, you can forgo accuracy to deliver faster and more brutal strikes. Before you make an attack with a melee weapon that you are proficient with, you can choose to take a -5 penalty to the attack roll. If the attack hits, you add +7 to the attack's damage.
  2. Alchemist

    You have studied the secrets of alchemy and are an expert in its practice, gaining the following benefits:

    • Increase your Intelligence or Wisdom score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
    • You gain proficiency with alchemist's supplies. If you are already proficient with them, you add double your proficiency bonus to checks you make with them.
    • As an action, you can identify one potion within 5 feet of you, as if you had tasted it. You must see the liquid for this benefit to work.
    • Over the course of a short rest, you can temporarily perfect potions. You can perfect a number of potions equal to your proficiency bonus and they remain perfected for a number of hours equal to twice your proficieny bonus, granting them the following benefits:
      • If the potion heals, the creature drinking the potion can forgo the potion's die roll and instead regain the maximum number of hit points the potion can restore.
      • If the potion's effect has a duration longer than or equal to 1 minute, the creature drinking it can double the duration of the effect.

To add some extra tension for when PCs are down, please show your death saving throw results to the GM only.

I am a huge Monster Hunter nerd and I have made a beta version of the main weapons for D&D 5e. The are experimental and not yet finished but you can ask me for the PDF.
