The Mageblade - an Arcane half-caster to fill your spellblading needs.

Hello everyone!

This is my first homebrew I am posting, so feedback is appreciated!

As a player, I've been frustrated with D&D 5th editions lack of an arcane martial to complement the Paladin and Ranger. While there are much more experienced homebrewers who have made similar things, I never found one that provided interesting mechanical payoff, often either using "arcane smites" or trying to port over the Magus' spellstrike from PF2. Thus I made my own version that leans on moving action spells to the bonus action.

Multiple players have tested the class, primarily in T1 and T2, and there are probably high level oversights.

Thank you for reading and feel free to use the content or ideas in any way you wish!

The Mageblade - An Arcane Half caster to scratch your Gish itch

Hello everyone!

This is my first time posting my homebrew, so feedback is welcome.

As a DM with a passion for swords and sorcery and the classical melee spellcaster fantasy known from videogames and pop culture, the lack of a mechanical way to express this in Dungeons and Dragons has frustrated me. While other, much more talented people have taken great swings at this archetype, I was always frustrated that their core mechanics either swung into overcomplicating the PF2 Magus or making a reflavoured Paladin.

In my version, the player makes use of "Spellweaving" allowing you to move Action-Spells to the Bonus Action when taking the Attack Action.

The class has been playtested by a multitude of players, mostly focused on T1 and T2 of play.

Thank you for reading!
