Frenzy | Once per full rest, you can go into a berserker frenzy. You gain advantage to all attack rolls and natural 19 rolls also count as critical hits.

Shield Bash | While wielding a shield, you can use your action to make an attack with it. If you hit, the target takes 1 damage and is knocked back 1 square. If you critically hit, the target falls prone and drops their weapon. |
Spellsword | You learn a spell from the arcane spell list. The spell's level can be no higher than half your archetype bonus (rounded down). Your spellcasting stat is MIND. |
Tackle | During combat, if you move at least 2 squares and attack a target with an unarmed attack and hit, you knock the target prone. |
Tis but a Scratch | Once per full rest, when you drop to 0 HP, you still gain the dying condition but remain conscious and can take actions to attack. You cannot move. All of the rest of the rules for the dying condition still apply. |
Toughness* | You gain 1 additional hit point. |
