The Battlemage Class (Class) (5e)
The Battlemage: A hybrid Arcane caster - Fighter class that uses the power of Battle Magic to run right into the frey & basically ignore all of the annoyances that casters bring into the fight. Do you want to fight? Do you want to cast haste on yourself? Do you want to finally have a wizard-fighter hybrid that isn't the Artificer in your campaign? Do you want to tell people that¸ yeah¸ Strength and Intelligence aren't mutually exclusive? Well then this is the class for you. Similar to the monk's ki¸ you gain points as you level up called mana points¸ which you use to fuel a feature similar to a Barbarian's rage called Battle Magic. Battle Magic is the crux of a battlemage's power¸ granting you many useful & powerful features as you level up. Aside from Battle Magic¸ you also use your Mana points to fuel features granted by your subclass. The Study of Vanguards¸ for example¸ can use Mana points to deal additional force damage to their weapon attacks¸ similarly to a paladin's divine smite. If this sounds cool to you¸ take a look at the pdf. I'll be happy if you give this class a download & throw me some feedback either here or at the class's wiki page. page: https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/Battlemage_(v2)_(5e_Class) Also¸ coming soon¸ will be some art for the page! The only update to this should be to the art (And maybe some minor balance changes) that I commisioned from my friend Sophie. Once the art is added in¸ an update will be released. -- RANT. Proceed at your own peril -- This class has undergone rework after rework after rework. Formerly named the Spellknight¸ I realized that I didn't like that name (And bc it wasn't taken on the D&D wiki). So this is now the Battlemage class. I used to have the Spellknight up on the DM's guild¸ but underwent numerous and probably annoying changes week after week after week.
