This fighter subclass is highly customizable with 7 different features to pick from at level 3. It is meant to capture a certain archetype of character that I don't believe fits well into 5e currently: one like a boxer or wrestler without heavy armor that is more thematically close to a fighter than a raging barbarian or spiritual monk.
I'm not getting delayed you are getting delayed shut up =3=
For real, I got busy actually working on one of these guys, so the other two may be particularly low quality. That coupled with the fact that I had my birthday didn't make things easer on me.
ANYWAY
First we got the Way of the Breathmaker! For the race-locked day
This subclass doesn't single-out dragonborns like bladesinger does with elves. If you can make breath weapons, you can perfect them with this.
Then we go with the path of the beholder! For the monster day!
Imagine a barbarian, if its fists were charged with the energy of the beams of a beholder. Terrified yet? You should.
And then, then... THEN. COOK FIGHTER
This guy is battle master on crack. It can learn recipes to cook and buff its allies. Speaking of which, the real reason I got delayed:
THESE MFERS TOOK 4 DAYS TO MAKE
I WILL NEVER EVER MAKE A TAKE ON BATTLE MASTER EVER AGAIN.
So, yeah. Hope you like it. And please don't be mad if the recipes are blatantly broken, because they probably are.
Don’t drink and homebrew guys......

I took a go at the Champion Specialization, there is always something great about coming out of a dragon fight with full guard. I tried to carry that over, without excluding some of the other Champion abilities.

Samurai (2024) (Homebrew)
This is my own take on Samurai using the 2024 rules for Fighter. This post will be deleted if this subclass gets updated to 2024 rules. Changes are described at the end.
From: Xanathar's Guide to Everything
The Samurai is a fighter who draws on an implacable fighting spirit to overcome enemies. A samurai’s resolve is nearly unbreakable, and the enemies in a samurai’s path have two choices: yield or die fighting.
Level 3 Brush and Blade: You gain a set of Calligrapher’s Tools and you have proficiency in it and two of the following skills of your choice: History, Insight, Performance, or Persuasion.
Level 3 Fighting Spirit: Your intensive training in battle grants you unparalleled focus.
Precision. When you make an attack, you can choose to enter a focus state giving yourself Advantage on the attack and all attacks until the start of your next turn. When you do so, you also gain Temporary Hit Points equal to your Wisdom modifier + half of your Fighter level (minimum of 1). You can use this feature 4 times. You regain 1 expended use when you finish a Short Rest and all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
Stamina. As a Bonus Action, you can regain half of your Second Wind uses (rounded up). Once you do so, you can’t do it again until you finish a Long Rest.
Level 7 Elegant Courtier: Your discipline and attention to detail allow you to excel in social situations.
Well Mannered. Whenever you make a Persuasion check, you can add your Wisdom modifier to the result.
Self Control. You have proficiency in Wisdom saving throws. If you already have this proficiency, you instead have proficiency in Intelligence or Charisma saving throws (your choice).
Level 10 Tactical Strike: When you use Tactical Shift, you can make one melee attack as part of the Bonus Action.
Level 15 Rapid Strike: You learn to trade accuracy for swift strikes. Once per turn, if you make an attack and have Advantage on it, you can forgo the Advantage for that roll to make an additional attack against that target as part of the same action, Bonus Action or Reaction.
Level 18 Strength Before Death: Your fighting spirit can delay the grasp of death. If you are reduced to 0 Hit Points, you can use your Reaction to delay having the Unconscious condition, and you can immediately take an extra turn. While you have 0 Hit Points during that extra turn, taking damage causes Death Save failures as normal, and three Death Save failures can still kill you. When the extra turn ends, you have the Unconscious condition if you still have 0 hit points. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a Long Rest.
Changes:
Changed bonus proficiencies at level 3 to be Calligrapher’s Tools and two of the skills in the list. Feature is renamed to Brush and Blade.
Adjusted the duration of Fighting Spirit to be until the start of your next turn so opportunity attacks are also made with advantage.
Changed the number of temporary hit points to scale with Wisdom mod and fighter level.
Changed the number of uses for Fighting Spirit (Precision) to 4 and added a way to regain 1 use on Short Rest.
Added a way to regain uses of Second Wind to increase the use of new Tactical Mind and Tactical Shift.
Replaced Tireless Spirit with Tactical Strike, which lets you make an attack when you use your Tactical Shift, promoting a more movement based playstyle.
Rapid Strike is not tied to the Attack action anymore, instead just work on any attack you make to synergize better with Tactical Strike and the Fighting Spirit advantage also working with opportunity attacks.
Rune Knight (2024) (Homebrew)
This is my own take on Rune Knight using the 2024 rules for Fighter. This post will be deleted if this subclass gets updated to 2024 rules. Changes are described at the end.
Rune Knights enhance their martial prowess using the supernatural power of runes, an ancient practice that originated with giants. Rune cutters can be found among any family of giants, and you likely learned your methods first or second hand from such a mystical artisan. Whether you found the giant’s work carved into a hill or cave, learned of the runes from a sage, or met the giant in person, you studied the giant’s craft and learned how to apply magic runes to empower your equipment.
Level 3 Rune Carver: You can use magic runes to enhance your gear.
Inscription Equipment. You gain a set of Smith’s Tools and you have proficiency with it. You also learn to speak, read and write Giant (Norweigian).
Learning Runes. You learn two Runes of your choice, from among the Runes described below, and each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one Rune you know with a different one from this feature. You learn an additional Rune when you reach certain levels in this class: level 7 (3 uses), level 10 (4 uses) and level 15 (5 uses).
Inscribing Runes. Whenever you finish a Long Rest, you can touch a number of objects equal to the number of Runes you know, and you inscribe a different Rune onto each of the objects. To be eligible, an object must be a Weapon, a suit of Armor, a Shield, a piece of jewelry, or something else you can wear or hold in a hand. Your Rune remains on an object until you finish a Long Rest, and an object can bear only one of your Runes at a time. A Rune can be invoked for an effect detailed in its description, once you do so, you can’t invoke the same Rune again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.
The following Runes are available to you when you learn a Rune. If a Rune has a level requirement, you must be at least that level in this class to learn the Rune. If a Rune requires a saving throw, your Rune Magic save DC equals 8 plus your Proficiency Bonus plus your Constitution modifier
Cloud Rune. This Rune emulates the deceptive magic used by some cloud giants.
While wearing or carrying an object inscribed with this Rune, you have Advantage on Sleight of Hand checks and Deception checks.
When you or a creature you can see within 30 feet of you is hit by an attack roll, you can take a Reaction to invoke the Rune and choose a different creature within 30 feet of you, other than the attacker. The chosen creature becomes the target of the attack, using the same roll. This magic can transfer the attack’s effects regardless of the attack’s range.
Fire Rune. This Rune’s magic channels the masterful craftsmanship of great smiths.
While wearing or carrying an object inscribed with this Rune, you have Expertise in the Artisan’s Tools you have proficiency in.
When you hit a creature with an attack using a weapon, you can invoke the Rune to summon fiery
shackles: the target takes an extra 2d6 Fire damage, and it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or have the Restrained condition for 1 minute. While Restrained by the shackles, the target takes 2d6 fire damage at the start of each of its turns. The target can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, banishing the shackles on a success.
Frost Rune. This Rune’s magic evokes the might of those who survive in the wintry wilderness, such as frost giants.
While wearing or carrying an object inscribed with this Rune, you have advantage on Animal Handling checks and Intimidation checks.
You can invoke the Rune as a Bonus Action to increase your sturdiness. For 10 minutes, you gain a +2 bonus to all ability checks and saving throws that use Strength or Constitution, as well as to the saving throw DC of your Unarmed Strikes.
Stone Rune. This Rune's magic channels the judiciousness associated with stone giants.
While wearing or carrying an object inscribed with this rune, you have Advantage on Insight checks, and you have Darkvision with a range of 120 feet.
When a creature you can see ends its turn within 30 feet of you, you can use your Reaction to invoke the Rune and force the creature to make a Wisdom saving throw. Unless the save succeeds, the creature has the Charmed condition for 1 minute. While Charmed in this way, the creature has a speed of 0 and has the Incapacitated condition, descending into a dreamy stupor. The creature repeats the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on a success.
Hill Rune (Level 7 or Higher). This Rune's magic bestows a resilience reminiscent of a hill giant.
While wearing or carrying an object that bears this Rune, you have Advantage on saves against having the Poisoned condition, and you have Resistance against Poison damage.
You can invoke the Rune as a Bonus Action, gaining Resistance to Bludgeoning, Piercing, and Slashing damage for 1 minute.
Storm Rune (Level 7 or Higher). Using this rune, you can glimpse the future like a storm giant seer.
While wearing or carrying an object inscribed with this Rune, you have Advantage on Arcana checks, and you can't be Surprised as long as you don’t have the Incapacitated condition.
You can invoke the Rune as a Bonus Action to enter a prophetic state for 1 minute or until you have the Incapacitated condition. Until the state ends, when you or another creature you can see within 60 feet of you makes an attack roll, a saving throw, or an ability check, you can use your reaction to cause the roll to have advantage or disadvantage
Level 3 Giant's Might: You have learned how to imbue yourself with the might of giants. As a Bonus Action, you magically gain the following benefits for 1 minute:
Giant Sized. If you are smaller than Large, you become Large, along with anything you are wearing. If you lack the room to become Large, your size doesn't change.
Giant’s Strength. You have advantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws.
Gigantic Force. Once per turn, when you make an attack you deal an extra 1d6 damage to a target on a hit.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a Long Rest.
Level 7 Runic Shield: You learn to invoke your rune magic to protect your allies. When another creature you can see within 60 feet of you is hit by an attack, you can use your Reaction to force the attacker to reroll the d20 and use the new roll. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
Level 10 Great Stature: The magic of your runes permanently alters you.
Growth. When you gain this feature, roll 3d4. You grow a number of inches in height equal to the roll.
Colossal Force. The extra damage you deal with your Giant's Might feature increases to 1d10.
Level 15 Master of Runes: You can invoke each Rune you know from Rune Carver twice, rather than once, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Short or Long Rest.
Level 18 Runic Juggernaut: You learn how to amplify your rune-powered transformation.
Titanic Force. The extra damage you deal with Giant's Might increases to 2d6.
Titan Sized. When you use Giant’s Might, your size can increase to Huge. When you do, your reach increases by 5 feet for the duration.
Changes:
Changed Giant’s Might and Runic Shield to have a number of uses equal to your Constitution modifier (minimum of 1).
Great Stature’s damage is increased from 1d8 to 1d10, and that of Runic Juggernaut from 1d10 to 2d6.
Echo Knight (2024) (Homebrew)
This is my own take on Echo Knight using the 2024 rules for Fighter. This post will be deleted if this subclass gets updated to 2024 rules. Changes are described at the end.
From: Explorer's Guide to Wildemount
A mysterious and feared frontline warrior of the Kryn Dynasty, the Echo Knight has mastered the art of using dunamis to summon the fading shades of unrealized timelines to aid them in battle. Surrounded by echoes of their own might, they charge into the fray as a cycling swarm of shadows and strikes.
Level 3 Manifest Echo: You can use a Bonus Action to magically manifest an echo of yourself in an unoccupied space you can see within 15 feet of you. It is a magical, translucent, gray image of you that lasts until it is destroyed, until you dismiss it as a Bonus Action, until you manifest another echo, or until you have the Incapacitated condition.
Your echo is considered an object, but uses your game statistics, except it has an Armor Class equal to 12 plus your Constitution modifier, 1 Hit Point, and Immunity to all conditions. On your turn, you can mentally command the echo to move in any direction. If your echo is ever more than 30 feet from you at the end of your turn, it is destroyed. As a Bonus Action, magically swap places with your echo at a cost of 15 feet of your movement, regardless of the distance between the two of you.
When you take the Attack action, any attack you make can originate from your space or the echo's space. You make this choice for each attack. When a creature that you can see within 5 feet of your echo moves at least 5 feet away from it, you can use your Reaction to make an Opportunity Attack against that creature as if you were in the echo's space.
Level 3 Unleash Incarnation: You can temporarily transfer your consciousness to your echo. As an action, you can see through your echo's eyes and hear through its ears. During this time, you have the Deafened and Blinded conditions. This effect lasts for 10 minutes or until you end it early (no action required). While using this feature, your echo can be up to 1,000 feet away from you without it being destroyed.
Level 7 Echo Avatar: You can temporarily transfer your consciousness to your echo. As an action, you can see through your echo's eyes and hear through its ears. During this time, you have the Deafened and Blinded conditions. This effect lasts for 10 minutes or until you end it early (no action required). While using this feature, your echo can be up to 1,000 feet away from you without it being destroyed.
Level 15 Reclaim Potential: You've learned to absorb the fleeting magic of your echo. When an echo of yours is destroyed by taking damage, you can gain a number of Temporary Hit Points equal to 1d8 + your Constitution modifier. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Constitution modifier (a minimum of 1). You regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest.
Level 18 Legion of One: Your summoning powers have grown more potent.
Endless Echoes. When you roll Initiative and are missing any uses of your Unleash Incarnation feature, you regain one use of it.
Double Up. You can use a Bonus Action to create two echos with your Manifest Echo feature, and these echoes can co-exist. If you try to create a third echo, the previous two echoes are destroyed. Anything you can do from one echo's position can be done from the other's instead.
Changes:
The echo can now move equal to your Speed.
Changed the AC of the echo to 12 + Constitution.
Removed the melee restriction on Unleash Incarnation.
Gave Shadow Martyr a range of 30 feet mirroring the destruction of the echo from Manifest Echo.
Removed the restriction of Reclaim Potential that you don’t gain temp hp when you already have some, but reduced the amount from 2d6 + Con to 1d8 + Con.
Changed Legion of One so you regain a use of Unleash Incarnation whenever you are missing a number of uses.
Banneret (2024) (Homebrew)
This is my own take on Banneret using the 2024 rules for Fighter. This post will be deleted if this subclass gets updated to 2024 rules. Changes are described at the end.
From: Sword Coast Adventurer's Guide
A banneret is a knight who inspires greatness in others by committing brave deeds in battle. The mere presence of one in a hamlet is enough to cause some orcs and bandits to seek easier prey. A lone banneret is a skilled warrior, but a banneret leading a band of allies can transform even the most poorly equipped militia into a ferocious war band.
A banneret prefers to lead through deeds, not words. As a banneret spearheads an attack, their actions can awaken reserves of courage and conviction in allies that they never suspected they had.
Level 3 Royal Envoy: Knights of high standing are expected to conduct themselves with grace in anyone’s presence. You learn two languages of your choice and you have proficiency in Persuasion. If you already have this proficiency you have Expertise in it instead and you can choose one other skill to have proficiency in.
Level 3 War Banner: Your waving banner provides your allies an inspiring sight in battle. You have 3 Banner Dice, which are d10s. A Banner Die is expended when you use it. You regain 1 Banner Die when you finish a Short Rest and all expended dice when you finish a Long Rest. You gain an additional Banner Die at level 10 and another at level 15. You can use your Banner Dice in the following ways:
Invigorate. As a Bonus Action you can choose up to three creatures of your choice that can see or hear you within 60 of you. Each creature regains a number of Hit Points equal to a roll of your Banner Die. The number of Hit Points regained increases by 1 extra roll of your Banner Dice at level 10 (2 rolls) and at level 15 (3 rolls).
Instruct. When a creature that can hear or see you within 60 feet of you misses an attack, you can use your Reaction to let it roll a Banner Die and add it to the result, potentially causing the attack to hit instead. If the attack still misses, the Banner Die isn’t expended.
Level 7 Lead by Example: Your actions in combat serve as an example to your allies.
Pinpoint. When you use Instruct and the attack hits, it deals extra damage equal to half of your Fighter level.
Assemble. When you use Instruct, you can choose a creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. It can immediately move up to half its Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks.
Level 10 Commander: You make your allies shine by utilizing your combat prowess and experience.
Apprise. When a spell or effect forces up to 3 of your allies to make a saving throw, you can expend a Banner Die to let each creature roll a d10 and add it to its save.
Single Out. Whenever you attack a creature, you can expend a Banner Die and choose one ally that can hear or see you within 60 feet of you. It can use its Reaction to make one attack against your target.
Level 15 Flanking Position: When you attack a creature and you don't have Disadvantage on the attack, all creatures that can hear or see you within 60 feet of you have Advantage on their first attack against it before the start of your next turn.
Level 18 Warlord: Your commanding presence reaches its peak.
Rally. When you use Assemble you can choose up to three creatures that can move with you.
Expose. When you use Single Out you can expend a second Banner Die to turn the attack of your ally into a Critical Hit.
Changes:
Royal Envoy now gives two languages and Expertise in Persuasion
Apart from Royal Envoy all features are new, using a dice pool called Banner Dice. These can be used for different features that aid your allies.
