Warmage
A man, clad in brilliant platinum ceremonial armor rides alongside a unit of soldiers, marching in perfect precision. As he shouts marching commands, his men respond almost preternaturally, anticipating his orders. In rapid succession, each of the men reaches a hand skyward and releases a bright pulse of flame, instants later exploding overhead with a thunderous kaboom. The armored rider takes a few notes, nods his head, and the men begin their display again.
A female elf and twenty trainees stand in something reminiscent of an archery range, though constructed entirely from metal. At her signal, they let loose a barrage of energetic bolts downrange at a cluster of statues. Some miss their mark entirely, while others land only a glancing blow. Shaking her head with disapproval, the elf commands the students to gather behind her. Heat and energy wells in her outstretched palm, then flies downrange, exploding into a brilliant fireball, reducing the statues to rubble. Smirking, she turns and snaps her fingers, and the students quickly retrieve brooms, dustpans, and more statues.
A thousand armored troops stand at attention in perfect rank and file. To the fore of the group is a raised dais, upon which a half orc kneels before a fire-haired dwarf matron. She taps one of his shoulders, then the other, with an intricate golden rod. Then he stands, and the matron places the rod in his hand and a shield emblazoned with the visage of a horse in his other. The half orc bows and turns to his comrades, instantly cracking the facade: the boom of a thousand voices rises up in cheer, welcoming their new brother into the fold.
Martial Spellcasters
Popular as both wartime mercenaries and as peacekeepers, warmages are a unique breed of spellcaster, one that specializes in and perfects the use of the lowest level spells, cantrips. Warmage philosophy teaches that, with discipline, magic can be used at its lowest level as easily as a common warrior wields a bow, a sword, or an axe. When used in this way, magic is not a mysterious, unknowable force, but a trainable weapon, and can be taught to almost anyone with aptitude. The College of Warmages, as a result, has managed to field an army of highly effective (though comparatively simple) spellcasters.
The College of Warmages is viewed with scrutiny (if not outright hostility) by the rest of the world due to their practices and teachings. For those without magical aptitude, the College's overpowering force is a perpetual threat. The College is a host unto itself, and its army, though certainly still honorable, is nonetheless wholly mercenary. A nation that enlists warmage aide in one war might find warmages allied with their enemies in the next.
Wizards and sorcerers, on the other hand, see warmages as rudimentary and trite, largely because warmages do not understand the nuances of magic. Warmages are not interested in studying magic, nor do they wish to plumb the mysteries that confound spellcasters everywhere; they seek only to destroy. For this reason, warmages are even a threat to other spellcasters. Their single-minded utilization of magic has honed their magic's destructive potential, and their great numbers threaten rarer spellcasters in an outright battle.
Glory and Duty
While rules, traditions, and the chain of command are rule and law in the College, graduates are afforded ample freedom for travel and adventure. Graduates only need fulfill two requirements: first, the College may recall the warmage to serve once a year, and second, the warmage is never to discredit or dishonor the College. Those who do will find themselves before an inquiry board in short order, and punishments range from lashings and imprisonment, to expulsion from the College and even execution.
Rather central to a warmage's character is his Arcane Initiation. Where did you learn of magic? Is it innate, something you were just born with? Did you grow up in a convent or monastery? Were you apprenticed to a proper wizard or alchemist? As well, why did you choose to reject the path to become a proper spellcaster?
Though it is a natural choice to select a militaristic background, nearly any can fit into the mold of the college. Were you perhaps a thief or con man who mistakenly stole from a member of the House of Rooks? Were you perhaps a town guard or militia man who came into contact with a Knight, Pawn, or Queen, and was awed by their prowess?
Lastly, determine which House your warmage wants to belong to. A warmage is initiated into his or her house within the first week of being in the College, but they do not fully graduate until they gain their House subclass at third level. Being a member of a warmage house is much more for a warmage than just selecting a specialty; it is a part of their identity. They will have brothers and sisters the world over who know them by the medal they wear, the symbol they display; there are handshakes, code words, common slang shared between all members of a house, and dozens of other traditions large and small.
Quick Build
You can make a Warmage quickly by following these suggestions. First, Intelligence should be your highest ability score, followed by Constitution. Make Strength your third highest if you plan to take the Hours of Knights or Pawns. Then choose the cantrips chill touch, fire bolt, and mage hand, and the scholar Arcane Initiation.

Spellcasting
At 1st level, you begin to learn the simple, yet potent, brand of spellcasting for which warmages are known.
Cantrips
At 1st level, you learn 3 cantrips from the warmage spell list. You learn additional warmage cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Warmage table.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the warmage cantrips you know and replace it with another warmage cantrip.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your warmage spells, since you learn your spells through study and memorization.

In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a warmage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your warmage spells.
Arcane Initiation
The College of Warmages takes in students from all walks of life, but only trains those that have some aptitude in magic. At 1st level, choose where you first encountered the spark of magic from the following:
Scholar. You learned your spells and skills through study and practice, likely in a school or under the tutelage of a master. You have a spellbook which begins inscribed with two 1st-level spells of your choice that have the ritual tag from any class’s spell list. With your spellbook in hand, you can cast the chosen spells as rituals.
On your adventures, you can add other ritual spells to your spellbook. When you find such a spell, you can add it to the book if the spell’s level is equal to or less than half your warmage level (rounded up) and if you can spare the time to transcribe the spell. For each level of the spell, the transcription process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp for the rare inks needed to inscribe it.
Additionally, you learn the cantrips prestidigitation and dancing lights, which don’t count against the total number of cantrips you know.
Savant. You inherited your powers either by birthright or though magical happenstance. In either case, you are less trained than others, but your magic flows out of you with surprising ease. You learn two additional cantrips of your choice from the sorcerer spell list, which don’t count against the total number of cantrips you know, and when you roll a critical hit on a spell attack roll, you deal an extra die of damage.
Arcane Fighting Style
The College of Warmages teaches that magic is the purest of weapons, and can be wielded just as easily as any other. At 1st level, select one of the following fighting styles:
Contingency Cantrip Fighting.
When when you miss with a spell attack, you can use your bonus action to cast the a cantrip that uses a spell attack again the target you missed. You have disadvantage on this attack roll.
If you hit, you can add your spell casting ability to the damage of the second attack.
Blaster.
When you cast a cantrip, you can increase its damage die by one step, to a maximum of d12. A spell that initially deals 1d12 damage instead deals an additional 1d4 damage per damage die. (Die progression is as follows: d4 -> d6 -> d8 -> d10 -> d12.)
Chilling.
When you hit a creature with a spell attack, its speed is reduced by 5 feet until the end of their next turn. If the attack is a critical hit the reduction is instead 10 and they are unable to take the Dash action on their next turn.
Cover-fire.
As a bonus action on your turn you can ready a cantrip, hoping to distract your enemies. Until the start of your next turn, when a friendly creature that you can see is hit by a ranged attack you may use your reaction to cast a cantrip that makes a spell attack roll. If you hit the creature with the spell, they have disadvantage on the attack.
Deflector.
When you have one hand free and a creature hits you with a spell attack or a ranged weapon attack, you can use your reaction to add half your proficiency bonus to your AC, potentially causing the attack to miss.
Fast Cast Riposte.
When a creature targets you with a attack, you can use your reaction to cast a cantrip that makes a ranged spell attack against that creature before their attack happens.
Resistive.
While you are wearing armor or are under the effect of the mage armor spell, you gain a +1 bonus to AC.
Sniper.
When making a ranged spell attack, you gain a +2 bonus to the attack roll.
Striker.
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for a spell you cast which requires a spell attack, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll, even if the new roll is a 1 or a 2.
Titan Smiter.
You gain a +2 bonus to spell damage rolls you make against creatures larger than you.
Warmage Edge
Starting at 2nd level, whenever you deal damage with a warmage spell, you can add your Intelligence modifier to that damage.
Warmage Trick
Beginning at 2nd level, you learn a Warmage Trick, a special technique that alters the way you fight, move, and cast your spells. You learn 2 tricks at 2nd level, and 2 additional tricks at 5th, 9th, 13th and 17th level.
Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can replace a trick that you know with another trick for which you meet the prerequisites.
Warmage House
The College of Warmages divides its students into distinct Houses, teaching different skills, abilities, and techniques. Upon reaching 3rd level, you can select your House from the following: Pawn, Knight, Bishop, Rook, or King. You gain your first house ability at 3rd level, and an additional one at 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th 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. You can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Warmage’s Eye
At 14th level, you are granted a set of innate magical enchantments which greatly enhance your ability to assess the battlefield, determine potential threats, and neutralize them accordingly. You can add your Intelligence modifier to all Perception checks that rely on sight. Additionally, your ranged attacks ignore half and three-quarters cover.
Master Warmage
At 20th level, you reach the pinnacle of your warmage prowess. You can use your Warmage Surge three times between rests.
Warmage Houses
Within the College, different warmages are divided into separate Houses, each of which emphasizes a different approach to combat.
Warmage Cantrips \page

Spellcasting
At 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast spells more potent than cantrips.
Spell Slots. The Bishop Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
Spells known of 1st-Level or Higher. You know three 1st-level wizard spells of your choice, two of which you must choose from the conjuration and evocation spells on the wizard spell list.
The Spells Known column of the Bishop Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these spells must be a conjuration or evocation spell of your choice, except for the spells learned at 8th, and 14th level, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Whenever you gain a level in this class, you can replace one of the wizard spells you know with another spell of your choice from the wizard spell list. The new spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, and it must be a conjuration or evocation spell, unless you’re replacing the spell you gained at 8th or 14th level.
Arcane Study
At 3rd level, you can select any two skills from Arcana, History, Medicine, Investigation, and Religion. You gain proficiency in that skill if you did not have it before, or double your proficiency bonus if you already have proficiency in it.
Mystical Guardian
At 7th level, you learn the find familiar spell and can cast it as a ritual. The spell doesn’t count against your number of spells known.
When you cast the spell, you can choose one of the normal forms for your familiar or one of the following special forms: imp, pseudodragon, blink dog, or wolf.
Additionally, when you take the Attack action, you can forgo one of your own attacks to allow your familiar to make one attack of its own.
Siege Casting
At 10th level, once per turn, when you deal damage to a creature or object with a warmage spell, you deal an additional 1d8 force damage. Additionally, when you cast a warmage spell on your turn that has a range longer than 5 feet, you can use a bonus action to triple that spell's range.
Arcane Sculpting
Starting at 15th level, when you cast a warmage spell that affects other creatures that you can see, you can choose a number of them equal to your Intelligence modifier. The chosen creatures automatically succeed on their saving throws against the spell, and they take no damage if they would normally take half damage on a successful save.
Arcane Dominance
At 18th level, you learn a powerful magical trick. Select a 1st level wizard spell you know. You can cast this spell at its lowest level without expending a spell slot. \page
House of Cards
Ever-linked to the concept of luck, playing and tarot cards are universally understood to be tools of fate. As such, the House of Cards was the first of the Casino’s fate-focused warmage houses, blending the inherently mystical powers of cards with their own potent magics.
Deck of Fate
Starting at 3rd level, you gain a deck of magical playing or tarot cards, called a Deck of Fate, through which you can enhance the power of your cantrips. Following a short or long rest, you draw a number of cards from a standard playing card deck equal to your spellcasting modifier; these cards are your hand. Whenever you cast a warmage cantrip, you can use one of the cards in your hand to increase the damage of that spell to one target by the number listed on the card, or 1d12 for face cards and Aces.
Once you use a card from your hand, it is gone until you take a short or long rest, at which point all spent cards return to your Deck of Fate and your draw a new hand. Should you lose your Deck of Fate, you can create a new one by performing a ritual lasting 24 hours.
Two of a Kind
Starting at 3rd level, when you cast a cantrip that targets a single creature, you can spend a card from your hand to target an additional creature with that spell.
Fold
Starting at 7th level, when you are hit by an attack, you can use your reaction and spend a card from your hand to cast the shield spell.
Trump Card
At 10th level, select a single 1st level, 2nd level, 3rd level, 4th level, and 5th level wizard spell from any school. These spells are magically scribed into your Deck of Fate. You can cast any of these spells without using a spell slot by spending a number of cards from your hand equal to that spell’s level. Whenever you gain a level in the warmage class, you may replace one of these spells with another of the same level.
Full House
Starting at 15th level, when you roll for initiative and you have no cards remaining in your hand, you can roll 1d4 and draw that many cards to your hand.
Royal Flush
At 18th level, you can burn all of your spell cards in a spectacular display of magical power. As an action, you spend all of the cards you currently have in your hand. Select a number of points you can see within 150 feet equal to the number of cards you spent; you fling a single card to each of those points, which explode, causing each creature within a 20-foot radius of each of those points must make a Dexterity saving throw. A creature takes 5d8 points of force damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one. If a creature is caught in a space that is affected by multiple explosions, it must make multiple saving throws.
Once you use this ability, you must take a long rest before you can do so again. \page
House of Dice
Ever the gambler’s loyal, if fickle, companion, dice (and the manipulation of them) are one of the cornerstones of the Casino’s teaching on luck and fate. Despite the fact that dice are, in almost all ways, impossible to affect with skill or knowhow, Dicemages always seems to come out on top of the situations they find themselves in... or, at least, ahead of where they started.
Dice of Fate
Starting at 3rd level when you choose this house, you gain a special pair of 6-sided dice which serve as a spell focus. Whenever you make an ability check, attack roll, or saving throw, you can roll 2d6 and add the result to the d20 roll. Once you use this ability, you must take a short or long rest before you can do so again.
Should you lose your Dice of Fate, you can create a new set by performing a ritual lasting 24 hours.
Boxcars
Starting at 3rd level, whenever you cast a warmage cantrip, if you roll the maximum number on one or more of the cantrip’s damage dice, you can reroll one of those dice and add the new result to the total damage of the spell.
Snake Eyes
Starting at 7th level, you can use your Dice of Fate against hostile creatures. Whenever a hostile creature makes an attack roll, saving throw, or ability check, you can use your reaction to roll your dice of fate and subtract that number from that creatures d20 roll. Once you use this ability, you must take a short or long rest before you can do so again.
Natural
At 10th level, fate turns your way more often than not. Once per turn, when you would make an attack roll, you can choose to make that attack roll an 11 instead of rolling the die. You must make this choice before you make the attack roll. You can use this ability a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier. You gain back all uses following a long rest.
Big Red
Starting at 10th level, when you use your Dice of Fate or Snake Eyes ability, you can choose for the outcome to be a 7 without rolling the dice.
Master of Fate
Starting at 18th level, you can use your Dice of Fate and Snake Eyes abilities twice before needing to take a rest. \page

Arcane Riposte. When a creature misses you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction and expend one mastery die to cast a cantrip targeting that creature.
Check. When you hit a creature with a spell attack, you can spend one mastery die to force that creature to move away from you. You add the mastery die to the attack's damage roll, and the target must make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed save, the target must immediately use its reaction, if available, to move up to half its speed directly away from you.
Checkmate. As a bonus action on your turn, you can direct one of your companions to strike. When you do so, choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you and expend one mastery die.

Decoy. When you hit with a weapon or spell attack, you can expend one mastery die and use a bonus action to teleport yourself (and your mount, if applicable) up to half your movement speed away from the creature you hit.
Distracting Blast. When you hit a creature with a spell attack, you can expend one mastery die to distract the creature, giving your allies an opening. You add the mastery die to the attack’s damage roll. The next attack roll against the target by an attacker other than you has advantage if the attack is made before the start of your next turn.
Feinting Blast. You can expend one mastery die and use a bonus action on your turn to feint, choosing one creature within 5 feet of you as your target. You have advantage on your next attack roll against that creature. If that attack hits, add the mastery die to the attack’s damage roll.

When you do so, choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you. That creature gains temporary hit points equal to the mastery die roll + your Intelligence modifier.
King's Order. When you hit a creature with a spell attack, you can expend one mastery die to maneuver one of your comrades into a more advantageous position. You add the mastery die to the attack’s damage roll, and you choose a friendly creature who can see or hear you.

Opening Move. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can spend a mastery die to double your movement speed until the start of your next turn.
Parry. When another creature damages you with a melee weapon or spell attack, you can use your reaction and expend one mastery die to reduce the damage by the number you roll on your mastery die + your Intelligence modifier.

Queen's Gambit. When another creature damages you with a melee or ranged attack, you can use your reaction and expend one mastery die to cast a cantrip targeting that creature.
Stalemate. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon or spell attack, you can expend a mastery die to attempt to grapple it with bands of arcane energy.

Weapons requiring ammunition are summoned with a quiver or case and 50 pieces of appropriate ammunition.
A weapon summoned from the armory disappears if it is more than 5 feet away from you for 1 minute, and ammunition vanishes immediately after it is used. It also disappears if you summon a new weapon, if you use an action to dismiss your weapon, or if you die.
You can store a personal magic weapon in the armory, accessible only to you, by performing a special ritual during a short or long rest while you hold the weapon.

Starting from that point, a number of translucent panels of force equal to your Intelligence modifier appear, which connect to form one continuous wall. Each panel is 5 feet wide, 4 feet tall, 1/4 inch thick, and is tall enough to provide half cover for any creature behind it. Creatures cannot move through the wall, though they can jump over it. The wall persists for 1 minute or until you dismiss it. Once you use this ability you must take a short or long rest before you can do so again. You wall improves as you gain levels, as shown below:
