When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can make two attacks instead of one.

You can push yourself to regain stamina. Once on your turn, you can use a bonus action to regain 1d10 + 11 hit points. You can use this feature once per short or long rest.

A measured burst of well-practiced aggression, used to control an encounter through pressure and positioning.

A fear-inducing strike that turns force into compliance.

A battlefield analysis check that extracts useful tactical insight from a target or environment.

You have learned the basics of combat and battlefield endurance. Your fighter hit die is d10, and your martial training grants broad weapon and armor proficiency.

You adopt one fighting style. Vynessa favors Defense in armorless or lightly protected situations only in concept, but in this build she relies on tactical positioning and precision rather than armor. In rules terms, choose a style appropriate to the campaign if armor is later acquired.

You can briefly exceed your normal limits. On your turn, you can take one additional action. Once used, you must finish a short or long rest before using it again.

You learn to read openings, exploit timing, and control the flow of battle using maneuvers fueled by superiority dice. You have five superiority dice, each a d8, and you regain all expended dice when you finish a short or long rest.

You learn three maneuvers. Recommended choices for Vynessa are Precision Attack, Menacing Attack, and Tactical Assessment or Riposte, depending on campaign tone. These maneuvers reflect a prison warden's calculated dominance and counterpressure.

You gain proficiency with one type of artisan's tools. Vynessa prefers tinker's tools, as they suit locks, restraints, and field repairs.

You add your superiority die to any initiative checks involving creatures you can see, if using the optional Battle Master interpretation from campaign expansions is allowed. In strict 2014 rules, use this feature only as written in your table's source for Battle Master maneuvers and superiority dice.

You can examine a humanoid you can see and glean limited information about its combat capabilities, such as its Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Armor Class, current hit points, class levels, and fighter levels.

Your athletic training lets you add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution checks you are not already proficient in. You also gain a standing jump and long jump improvement consistent with the feature.

You have developed a deeper reserve of battle reflexes, improving your mastery of superiority dice as your combat training advances.

You can push a failing save through sheer discipline. Once per long rest, reroll a failed saving throw. At 9th level you can do this once, and at 13th level you gain a second use.

Vynessa can secure shelter, support, and access to correctional or military contacts from her old service network, provided she does not openly betray them. Rank, credentials, and a hard stare still open doors, even when the badge is no longer official.
