Weaveknight

Overview & Creation

Surrounded by undead creations, an elf clad in plate armor that reflects the crimson flames that frame the walls of the unholy sanctum readies her mighty blade, eyeing the evil necromancer about to complete the ritual. As the creatures charge her, she vanishes in a flash of blue light and reappears above the mage, weapon bathed in arcane energy, felling her foe with a mighty warcry. A dragonborn dressed in silver and blue robes waves his torch, shedding light in the ancient texts carved upon the ruin's walls. As he begins to decrypt the message, the growling of two large beasts emerging from the shadows draws his attention. Smiling, the scholar draws his longsword and assumes a martial stance, sword held high above his head and crackling with lighting. A human carefully stretches the string of her bow, waiting for her allies to give her an opening against the demon. As soon as she sees it, she releases the arrow, muttering incantations and imbuing it with power. As the arrow travels, it is engulfed in a brilliant light, and the demon roars loudly before it explodes in a blast of radiance. Despite their unique styles, all weaveknights expertly weave powerful spells and strikes alike in a deadly combination. Whether lone warriors defending the realms, teachers and scholars, or adventurers seeking new wonders, weaveknights are united by the dedication in their art and their pursuit of excellence.

Class Features

Combat Caster   Your training with sword and spell alike has granted you the experience to expertly combine the two, even in the midst of combat. You can perform the somatic components of spells even when you have weapons or a shield in one or both hands. Additionaly, at the beginning of a long rest, you can initiate a 10 minute ritual with a weapon. After the ritual is completed, you can use that weapon as an arcane focus. If it is in the same plane of existence, you can summon that weapon as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to teleport instantly to your hand. Only one weapon can benefit from this feature at a time. If you attempt this ritual with a second weapon, the first one loses the benefits of this feature.   Arcane Strike   Starting at 2nd level, you learn how to imbue your weapons with arcane power. Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to add an additional effect to your attack. Choose one of the following effects, and the target is subjected to it.

• Dispelling Spellstrike. You cut through magic. Choose a spell affecting the target that you are aware of. If it is of a level equal to or lower than the level of the spell slot you expended, it ends.
• Mystic Spellstrike. Immense arcane force envelops your strike. The target takes force damage, in addition to the weapon's damage. The extra damage is equal to your weaveknight level, plus 1d6 per level of the spell slot.

  Fighting Style   At 2nd level, you adopt a style of fighting as your specialty. Choose one of the following options. You can’t take a Fighting Style option more than once, even if you later get to choose again.

• Arcane Warrior. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. They count as weaveknight spells for you, and Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for them. Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of these cantrips with another cantrip from the wizard spell list.
• Archery. You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.
• Defense. While you are wearing armor, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
• Dueling. When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon.
• Great Weapon Fighting. When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2. The weapon must have the two- handed or versatile property for you to gain this benefit.

  Secret Arts   Dedicating yourself to the study of martial combat and arcane lore, you have unearthed knowledge about special techniques usable only by ones who have trained rigorously as weaveknights. At 2nd level, you learn two secret arts of your choice. Your secret arts options are detailed at the end of the class description. When you gain certain weaveknight levels, you gain additional secret arts of your choice, as shown in the Secret Arts column of the Weaveknight Table. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the secret arts you know and replace it with another secret art that you could learn at that level. Some secret arts are combat stances, amplifying specific ways of fighting and granting additional options to your arcane strike feature. You can enter a stance that you know when you roll initiative or as a bonus action, gaining its benefits for 1 minute. You can only maintain one stance at a time, and you lose any of its benefits while incapacitated or if you enter a new stance. After entering a stance, you can't enter the same stance again until you finish a short or long rest. You can only learn a secret art once. If you replace a secret art with another one, you can never learn that secret art again, even if you meet its prerequisites.   Weaveknight Discipline   At 3rd level, you choose a discipline that you strive to perfect. Choose between the Spellwarden, the Magehunter, the Initiate of Arcana Mystara, the Spellbow or the Magus, all described at the end of the class description. The archetype you choose grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 11th, 15th and 20th level.   Ability Score Improvement   When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.   Extra Attack   Beginning at 5th Level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.   Quick Cast   At 6th level, you gain the ability to increase the speed with which you weave spells. When you cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action, you can use your Quick Cast to change the casting time to 1 bonus action for this casting. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Quick Cast again. Beginning at 14th level, you can use your Quick Cast twice between rests.   Student of Magic and War   At 10th level, you have honed the craft of masterfully weaving spells even amidst the most dire of situations, steeling your focus. When you fail a Constitution saving throw that you make to maintain your concentration on a spell when you take damage, you can use your reaction to reroll the save.

You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.   Versatile Spellcaster   At 14th level, your grasp over magic allows you to manipulate the arcane energies to your will depending on your needs.

For example, you can expend two 1-st level spell slots to create one 2-nd level spell slot or one 2-nd level spell slot to create two 1-st level spell slots. You can create or expend spell slots of a level no higher than 5th with this feature. Any spell slots you create with this feature vanish when you finish a long rest.   True War Magic   At 18th level, you have mastered the art of weaving spells while performing your deadly martial strikes. When you take the attack action on your turn, you can forgo one of your attacks and cast a spell with a casting time of 1 action in its place.   If a secret art has prerequisites, you must meet them to learn it.

Spellcasting

You have split your time learning to hone your martial prowess as well as your arcane ability.

Subclass Options

The discipline of the Magus, perhaps the most knightly order of the weaveknights, is a path of flashing steel and arcane might. Fit for those who wish to fight in the frontlines with bravery, these weaveknights teleport around the battlefield and channel magic to devastate their enemies in fearsome shows of superiority. Never one to back down from a challenge, a Magus pursuits his goals in the most direct way: cut down anything that stands in between.   Magus Magic   You learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Magus Spells table. The spell counts as a weaveknight spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of weaveknight spells you know.   Armored Mage   At 3rd level, you have learnt how to be more effective in the frontlines. You gain proficiency with heavy armor.   Arcane Surge   Also at 3rd level, you learn how to turn magical energy into tactical advantage in combat.

When you take the attack action on your turn, you can expend a spell slot to make additional attacks as part of that action equal to half the spell slot's level (rounded down). You can use this feature once during each of your turns.   Spellwardens are abjuration specialists. However, these weaveknights are able to touch they very essence of abjuration magic and learn how to empower their physical and mental abilties with arcane energies. The Spellwarden discipline requires the practicioner to be brave and face the terrors of the world with conviction, as well as develop innate endurance towards magic. Spellwardens are team players, leading fights as unyielding rocks their allies can always depend on.   Spellwarden Magic   You learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Spellwarden Spells table. The spell counts as a weaveknight spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of weaveknight spells you know.

When a creature is subjected to an effect from your arcane strike feature, that creature has disadvantage on any attack roll that doesn't target you until the start of your next turn.   Spell Resistance   At 15th level, you have advantage on saving throws against spells.   Swift Abjuration   At 20th level, you have mastered the quick use of abjuration spells. When you use your Quick Cast feature to cast an abjuration spell, you do not expend any of its uses.   Incorporating ancient elven techniques that amplify their ranged spells and arrows, the Spellbows are the tacticians of the weaveknights. Observing and tactically handpicking targets, it was once said that a single company of master Spellbows felled an entire army of demons. This discipline involves patience, self reflection and quick thinking. To achieve the perfect shot, to never miss and to always feel flow like the weave of magic they swore to protect, the Spellbows never accept failure.   Spellbow Magic   You learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Spellbow Spells table.

You no longer have disadvantage on ranged attacks due to being within 5 feet of a hostile creature who can see you and isn't incapacitated. You also add the options to your arcane strike feature:

• Bursting Spellstrike Your strike detonates with arcane energy.

• Pinning Spellstrike You imbue your strike with abjuration magic. The target takes force damage, in addition to the weapon's damage. The extra damage is equal to 1d6 per level of the spell slot.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you use it again.   Of all the weaveknights, the Magehunters understand the importance of balance most. This discipline enforces the practicioner to endure excruciating mental pain, as learning how to bend the arcane energy around other creatures, partially severing their connection to the weave of magic is a dreadful task. Many Magehunters have lost loved ones or witnessed destruction in the face of untamed magicians, and have sworn themselves their eternal enemies. If the most powerful of spellcasters can be called demi-gods, then the Magehunters are one of the few reminders of their mortality.   Magehunter Magic   You learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Magehunter Spells table. The spell counts as a weaveknight spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of weaveknight spells you know. Hunter's Vigilance   At 3rd level, your studies have taught you to be always ready to strike. Whenever you roll for Initiative, you add your Intelligence modifier to the roll.   Magehunter's Brand   Also at 3rd level, you learn how to more efficiently hunt your prey.

Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.   Spell Mettle   At 7th level, your training allows you to completely resist spells that would affect you normally. When you succeed on a saving throw against a spell that targets only you and would still affect you on a successful save, the spell instead has no effect on you.   Spellbane Strikes   At 11th level, your empowered strikes allow you to pierce an enemy's connection with their magical resistances. When a creature is subjected to an effect from your arcane strike feature, it can't have advantage on saving throws against any spell you cast until the end of your next turn.   Siphon Magic   At 15th level, you learn how to siphon magic from your enemies when they are at their weakest. When you score a critical hit with a weapon attack, the target loses its highest level spell slot and you regain an expended spell slot with a level equal to half of the spell slot's level that the creature lost. If a creature does not have spell slots, this feature has no effect against it.   Anti-Magic Aura   At 20th level, your prowess over hunting mages manifests fully. As an action, you emit an anti-magical aura, causing violent arcane energies to surround you in a 60-foot radius, gaining the following benefits for 1 minute: You gain a bonus on saving throws against spells and magical effects equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of +1). All hostile creatures that start their turn within the aura's radius must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your weaveknight spell save DC or be unable to cast spells until the start of their next turn. You add your proficiency bonus to any spellcasting ability check you make when casting Counterspell and Dispel Magic. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.   The search for knowledge and secrets is inherent to all weaveknights, but the Initiates of Arcana Mystara value only the truths of the world and thus are rewarded with extraordinary mastery over the weave. This discipline requires incredible dedication and study, as master Initiates are able to match the most powerful of wizards toe to toe in spellcasting as well as channel magic into their weapons to divine their enemies' weakness with each blow. As revered arcane acolytes, they command respect even amongst the most seasoned weaveknights, often becoming spiritual guides in dark times.   Initiate of Arcana Mystara Magic   You learn an additional spell when you reach certain levels in this class, as shown in the Initiate of Arcana Mystara Spells table. The spell counts as a weaveknight spell for you, but it doesn't count against the number of weaveknight spells you know. Knowledge Devotion   At 3rd level, your devoted studies grant you intricate knowledge. You become proficient in your choice of two of the following skills: Arcana, History, Nature, or Religion. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen skills.   Arcana Esoterica   Also at 3rd level, your focus on the sorcery side of sword and sorcery grants you an extra edge over other weaveknights. Choose a spell from any class, including this one. A spell you choose must be of a level you can cast, as shown on the Weaveknight Table. You learn that spell and it counts as a weaveknight spell for you but it doesn't count against the number of weaveknight spells you know. You learn one additional spell from any class at 5th, 9th, 13th and 17th level.   Calculating Mind   At 7th level, you find ways to solve problems through the power of your mind. You add half your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of +1) to any Charisma (Deception), Charisma (Persuasion), Wisdom (Insight) and Wisdom (Perception) checks you make. In addition, you gain a bonus on Constitution saving throws that you make to maintain concentration on spells equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of +1).   Knowledge of the Scholar   At 11th level, you learn how to extract knowledge out of every strike. When a creature is subject to an effect from your arcane strike feature, you immediately learn one of the following (your choice):

• The creature's bonus to one saving throw of your choice.
• All of the creature's damage resistances.
• All of the creature's damage immunities.
• All of the creature's condition immunities.

  Arcane Retaliation   At 15th level, your manipulation of the weave enables you to reflect incoming spells. When a creature that you can see casts a spell that targets only you or an allied creature within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to make an Intelligence (Arcana) check contested by the creature's Intelligence (Arcana) check. If the result of your roll is higher than the opposing roll, the spell has no effect on you or your ally and instead targets the caster, using the slot level of the caster, but your spell save DC, attack bonus and spellcasting ability. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.   Grand Arcana Esoterica   At 20th level, your mastery over the arcane arts manifests fully. Choose a 6th, 7th, 8th and 9th-level spell from the wizard spell list. You can cast each of these spells once without expending a spell slots. You must finish a long rest before you do so again.
