Magus

---

---

Overview & Creation

There are those who spend their lives poring over ancient tomes and texts, unlocking the power of magic, and there are those who spend their time perfecting the use of individual weapons, becoming masters without equal. The magus is at once a student of both philosophies, blending magical ability and martial prowess into something entirely unique, a discipline in which both spell and steel are used to devastating effect. As he grows in power, the magus unlocks powerful forms of arcana that allow him to merge his talents further, and at the pinnacle of his art, the magus becomes a blur of steel and magic, a force that few foes would dare to stand against.   Magi spend much of their time traveling the world, learning whatever martial or arcane secrets they can find. They might spend months learning a new sword-fighting style from a master warrior, while simultaneously moonlighting in the local library, poring through tomes of ancient lore. Most who take this path dabble in all sorts of lore, picking up anything that might aid them in their search for perfection.

Class Features

Arcane Arts

Beginning at 1st level, you have learned how to intertwine your skill with weaponry and magic into one fluid fighting style. You can call upon the different types of arcane energy lingering in the air while in battle to perform small bursts of magic called Arcane Arts to aid yourself during combat. These Arcane Arts are fueled by your Arcane Die.   Arcane Arts: You learn three Arcane Arts of your choice. Many Arcane Arts enhance an attack in some way. You can use only one Arcane Art per attack. You learn an additional Arcane Art of your choice at 5th, 10th, and 15th level. Each time you learn a new Arcane Art, you can also replace one Arcane Art you know with a different one.   Arts Die: You have four Arcane Die which are based upon your current Magus level. You gain one more die at 5th level, 11th level and 17th level. Your Arcane Die is used to represent how strong your mastery over magic has become. This die starts at 1d4 and goes up to 1d6 at 5th level, 1d8 at 10th level, 1d10 at 15th level, and 1d12 at 20th level. You regain expended Arcane Dice when you finish a long rest. Alternatively, during a short rest you may use your hit dice to replenish your arcane dice. When replenished in this way your maximum number of arcane dice may not exceed your normal maximum.   Saving Throws: Some of your Arcane Arts require your target to make a saving throw to resist their effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:   Arcane Art save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.  

Spellstrike

Beginning at 2nd level, whenever a magus casts a spell of 1st level or higher that requires a melee spell attack or ranged spell attack from the magus spell list, they can deliver the spell through any melee weapon they are wielding. Instead of the melee spell attack normally allowed to deliver the spell, a magus can make one melee weapon attack with his weapon as part of casting this spell. On a successful hit, this melee weapon attack deals its normal damage as well as the effects of the spell.  

Arcane Paths

Beginning at 3rd Level, you begin to have a deeper understanding of magic allowing you to further specialize in your fighting style. You may choose from The path of the Sword Saint, the path of the Elemental Savant, or the path of the Armored Battlemage, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice gives you features at 3rd, 7th, 11th, 15th, and 20th level.  

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.  

Arcane Ward

Beginning at 6th level, whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher you gain temporary hit points equal to one roll of your Arcane die + the level of the spell cast. While you have these temporary hit points, you have resistance to the type of damage the spell used to activate Arcane Ward dealt and if you take damage from a melee attack, the attacker takes damage of that same type equal to one roll of your Arcanum Die. If the spell has no damage type then you gain no resistance or damage reflection. Temporary hit points gained in this way disappear at the beginning of your next turn.  

Greater Spellstrike

Beginning at 9th level, when you use your Spellstrike feature you add damage to your weapon attack equal to your intelligence modifier. Additionally you can use your Spellstrike with all spells that require a spell save DC. The spell is then cast out from your weapon as the point of origin. All creatures, including the primary target of your Spellstrike, then make their saves as normal against the spell. You cannot Spellstrike with spells that require concentration.  

Amplifying Arts

Beginning at 11th level, you strengthen the efficacy of your Arcane Artes. When you use your Arcane Artes you use their Stage 2 effect instead of their stage 1 effect.  

Counterstrike

Beginning at 13th level, when an enemy casts a spell while within melee weapon range, you may take an Attack of Opportunity on the Spellcaster. An Attack of Opportunity made in this way has a bonus to damage equal to your intelligence modifier. Additionally, when you hit with this Attack of Opportunity the creature must make a Concentration Check with a DC equal to 10 + the damage dealt from your weapon's damage die. On a success the spell goes off as normal, on a failure, the spell sizzles out and the spell slot is wasted.  

Arcane Rift

Beginning at 14th level, whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher, you may teleport 15 feet in any direction.  

Spell Recall

Beginning at 17th Level, you may prepare a spell from each of the following levels: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th. The first time you cast each of these spells they do not require the use of your Arcane Pool.  

Master of the Arts
