Overview & Creation

Mages use their natural affinity and mana combined with their Grimoire's to cast spells. These spells can be used to engage in combat, support allies, or heal those who need assistance. Generally a Mage's duty is to his king and his country.


Class Features

Upon every level up you will gain points to spend on certain skills in order to enhance your magic. You can use these points to Meditate (gaining additional mana points when you level up), Learn (learning a new spell and inscribing it into your Grimoire), or Enhance (allows you to enhance certain spells to buff the effects or lower the cost).   Mage Points gained per level:

Subclass Options

Brawler

Starting at 7th level you may use the Mana Skin feat to go into a fit of rage increasing your base speed and damage by 10. this ability requires the same amount of mana as the Mana Skin feat.

Starting at 12th level any object infused with your mana and thrown at an enemy adds 3d8 of damage from your elemental affinity to the throw. This ability costs 25 mana points.

Starting at 16th level you may summon an elemental golem surrounding yourself. This golem has half your hitpoints but double your damage. Once the golem is defeated you need a turn to recover from the experience. This can be used once per long rest and requires 200 mana points.

At 3rd level any attack with a summoned weapon deals an additional d6 of elemental damage for every level above 2.

At 7th level you may attack twice with summoned weapons instead of dealing elemental damage.

At 11th level you may use the Dual Cast feat to summon 2 weapons at once.
