Vectors study the paths that force takes through the world. Through rigorous movement drills and sharp observation, they learn to turn a missed blow into an opening, a charge into a stumble, and a narrow gap into an escape route. A vector is a mobile martial combatant who controls positioning and protects allies by redirecting momentum rather than relying on spells.

Dexterity
ConstitutionYou gain proficiency with simple and martial weapons, light armor, medium armor, and shields. You learn to read motion and build a reserve of Momentum, which fuels your class features.
You have a number of Momentum points equal to your Proficiency Bonus, and you regain all expended points when you finish a Short or Long Rest. Once on each of your turns when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can spend 1 point to deal an extra 1d6 damage and move the target 5 feet horizontally if it is no more than one size larger than you.
As a Bonus Action, you can move up to 10 feet without provoking Opportunity Attacks. You can use this feature only if you have moved at least 10 feet on your turn, and you can use it a number of times equal to your Proficiency Bonus per Long Rest.
Choose a subclass that reflects how you apply your study of motion. Your subclass grants features at levels 3, 6, 10, and 14.

Ability Score Improvement and Epic Boon
Once on each of your turns when you use Redirecting Strike, you can apply its effect to two different creatures you hit with weapon attacks that turn, spending a Momentum point for each use that requires one. You can move each target separately.

Vectors study the paths that force takes through the world.

You are a mobile weapon combatant who shapes the edges of a fight.
Look for opportunities to move into useful positions, spend Momentum to reposition dangerous enemies, and use Flowing Step to escape pressure or reach an ally. Your control is measured and conditional: Redirecting Strike affects one target at a time, requires a hit, and cannot move a creature that is too large.
Vectors usually begin as guards, athletes, couriers, or laborers whose work demands precise movement.
A mentor teaches them to observe how weight shifts, practice controlled falls and pivots, and redirect force safely; formal initiation is uncommon, though many schools require a public test of composure under pressure.
Most people see vectors as agile guards, couriers, or duelists.
Their knack for turning a charge aside can seem uncanny, but their methods are understood as disciplined physical training rather than magic.
