Warriors Focus Abilities
Acrobatic Assailant: You tumble and leap, swirling around your opponent in a deadly dervish dance. You may now tumble at full speed with no penalty. You also gain the "Everywhere at Once" ability which allows you to take a -2 penalty to your AC for a round to count as occupying both the space you start in, and the space you make your attack in/end in for the purposes of calculating flanking for the duration of your turn. Meaning that if you start your turn on one side of a creature and tumble to its opposing side before making your attacks you count as flanking the creature for yourself. You may expend your Warriors Focus to redirect one enemy attack. Before the enemy rolls an attack expend your Warriors Focus as an immediate action. You may then redirect the enemy attack onto anyone (excepting the original attacker) who is adjacent to you. You may, if you wish, before redirecting the attack move both you and the attacker into a more advantageous position by moving you both 5ft in a direction of your choosing as if you had taken a 5ft foot step and your opponent had taken an immediate 5ft follow.
Berserker Charge: You crash down onto your opponents with murderous force, few men can stand before your charge. You may make a single turn as a part of your charge action allowing you to charge around corners and obstacles. You also gain the "Death From Above" ability, which allows you to sacrifice the +2 to attack from a charge to make a jump check as part of the charge. If your attack is successful you deal an additional +1 damage for every 5 points your jump check exceeded zero. You cannot add more than +10 damage to the attack in this manner. You may expend your Warriors Focus as an immediate action to count as if you have the Pounce ability. If you already have the Pounce ability you may expend your Warriors Focus to gain an additional attack on the charge.
Bludgeoning Weapons Expert: Your blows concuss and batter even the hardiest of opponents into broken heaps. From now on any time you make a critical hit with a bludgeoning weapon your opponent is automatically Staggered for a turn. Additionally you gain the "Bash" ability, which allows you to take a full round action to make a single attack on a creature no larger than 1 size category above you. If successful the attack slams the opponent back 10ft provoking attacks of opportunity as a normal move would. You may expend your Warriors Focus as an immediate action before making an attack with a bludgeoning weapon. The attack gains a +2 to hit and if it is successful your opponent must make a DC15+level Fortitude save or fall prone, granting combat advantage, and count as stunned for 1 round. If the bludgeoning attack you made was a critical hit and the creature failed its save it is stunned for 1 round and staggered next round.
Dead or Alive: Dead men tell no tales and sometimes you want explanations, so you've learned to take targets alive. You no longer take penalties to deal nonlethal damage on an attack and gain the "Knockout" ability which allows you against any creature you are flanking or have combat advantage against to make a single melee attack as a full round action to deal an additional 1d6 nonlethal damage for every 3 levels you have (round up). You may expend your Warriors Focus to make a single melee attack as a full round action against any creature you are flanking or have combat advantage against, you gain a +2 bonus to the attack and deal an additional 1d6 damage (lethal or nonlethal) per level you have.

You gain the "Dueling Stance" ability, which requires a move action to activate and grants you a +2 bonus to AC against one opponent that you declare but a -2 AC against all others for one round. You also gain the "Riposte" ability which applies a -2 to your AC but allows you to make an additional secondary attack, however you may only make this attack if an opponent misses you with a melee attack. Your attack is resolved on the opponents turn immediately following the missed attack you've chosen to Riposte.

Foil Enemies: You disrupt, distract, and damage your enemies at the worst of times, and you're a tremendous ally for it. From now on any large or smaller sized opponent you hit with a ranged attack on your turn counts as flanked to all of your allies. You must deal damage to the creature for this effect to function. You may expend your Warriors Focus as an immediate action to "Foil" an enemy action by making a ranged touch attack with a weapon of your choice to stop a single action that an enemy within range has just declared. You make the attack immediately, it deals only a single point of damage (which ignores DR) but if it hits the target must make a DC15+level Will save or lose the action they had just declared. A Fighter may not disrupt an action that is partially completed, meaning they cannot disrupt a move that is partially complete. A Fighter disrupting an attack, whether a Full attack or a Standard attack, may only eliminate a single attack of his choice as opposed to disrupting the entire action. If an opponents action is successfully foiled then the foiled action is completely wasted, and any spell slots, limited ability uses, or the like used to power it are expended.
