Hoplite Archetype (5e)
The Hoplite Archetype attempts to being a bit of the classical era back into Dungeons and Dragons. This 5e Fighter archetype brings spear and shield to the forefront with unique mechanics centered on standing shoulder to shoulder with allies in the thick of battle and utilizing the spear and shield to their greatest advantage. In addition to the archetype¸ pages two and three contain thematically approprate equipment drawn from history and dungeons and dragons to help sell the heroics of the hoplite. Both the Archetype and the equipment can be used together or indiviudally for maximum effect. As a note¸ this is an untested archetype. Any comments or discussion are welcome to help round out and balance the class. A special thanks to The Homebrewery people for allowing all players to use their fantastic tools to make amazing builds. Edit: With some help some balancing issues were noted with the level 18 ability¸ so to buff that there were minor alterations to the ability.
