'''Fighting Style''' is a class feature available to [[Fighter|Fighters]] at Level 1, [[Paladin|Paladins]] and [[Ranger|Rangers]] at Level 2, [[College of Swords]] [[Bard|Bards]] at Level 3 and [[Champion]] Fighters again at Level 10. Each fighting style can only be chosen once.
'''Fighting Style'''s are available to certain (sub)[[class]]es as a feature, increasing their combat efficacy with certain equipment.
* Once learned, Fighting Styles are permanently active; you ''cannot'' "disable" a Fighting Style.
** Respeccing at [[Withers#Services|Withers]] will still remove the feature.
** Protection is the only Fighting Style which allows you to choose whether or not it is applied, as a [[Resources#Reaction|Reaction]].
* Each fighting style can only be chosen once.
** You can learn multiple types, and they will all apply as applicable; a character dual-wielding [[Hand Crossbows]] with Archery and Two-Weapon Fighting will gain +2 to attack rolls with both weapons, ''and'' deal additional damage with the offhand one.
