Fighter Subclass: Bog Reaver in Dungeons & Dragons 2024 (D&D)

Fighter Subclass: Bog Reaver

The Bog Reaver is a predator forged by swamp, mire, and apex conflict. Where ordinary fighters see terrain and monsters as obstacles, a Bog Reaver sees opportunity and prey. Every step in mud, every strike against a massive foe, every grapple is a calculated assertion of dominance. Marrowkin make the best Reavers. Their dense bones and hardened muscles, paired with natural instincts for ambush and apex survival, allow them to control battlefield flow and extract maximum lethality from their prey.
