(OOC: This is an implementation of the Circle of the Seafarers subclass from Tasha's Crucible of Everything Else volume 2)

Unarmored Defense

Water is not kind to leather armor. Because of this, your society has developed defensive measures that eschew armor of any type. With a heightened awareness of your immediate surroundings, when you are not wearing armor or shields, your Armor Class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Wisdom modifier.

• You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of tridents and spears, and the attack rolls of nets.
• You have a swimming speed equal to your walking speed.

Sidestep

2nd-level Circle of the Seafarers feature

When you are wielding a trident or spear and a creature within 5 feet of you makes an attack against you, you can use your reaction to make a special melee attack against the creature. On a hit, instead of dealing damage you move 5 feet without provoking opportunity attacks, potentially causing the attack to miss if you move out of range.

Extra Attack

6th-level Circle of the Seafarers feature

You can attack twice instead of once whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Thanks to your specialized training, you ignore the net's restriction on the number of attacks you can make with an action, bonus action, or reaction.

The magic of the water has changed your body. You can breathe both air and water, and you have resistance to cold damage.

Spearfisher

10th-level Circle of the Seafarers feature

Immediately after you make a ranged attack roll with a weapon that has the Thrown property, you can choose to have it magically reappear in your hand. Additionally, attacking at long range with such a weapon does not impose disadvantage on your attack roll.

Coastal Warrior

14th-level Circle of the Seafarers feature

You can now infuse the power of the depths into your attacks. Whenever you hit a creature with a weapon attack, including when you hit a creature with your special Sidestep attack, you also deal an amount of cold damage equal to your Wisdom modifier.
