Magus
Hit Points
Proficiences
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.
Class Features
Arcane Arsenal
Weapon Casting
Any weapon you have proficiency with can be used as an Arcane Focus to cast spells with material components. You must have a weapon to use your Magus class features.Weapon Binding
Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch one weapon that you are proficient with. When you attack with that weapon, you can use your Intelligence modifier, instead of Strength or Dexterity, for the attack and damage rolls. This benefit lasts until you finish a long rest.Weapon Shaping
Through transmutation magic, you can shape non-magical items into weapons you are proficient with by splitting or merging them. Shaping a mundane item takes a bonus action, and is a magical effect. If a dispel magic or similar effect is cast on the blade it returns to its original form. If the item was merged, it shapes back into the original items. If it was split, it reforms to broken parts of the original item. The Magus may only use their transmutation to shape mundane and common materials such as sinew, hide, bone, wool, hemp, silk, wood, stone, cloth, leather, iron, steel, silver, gold, platinum, etc.Starting Equipment
