## Arcane Traditions

### Arcane Warrior
By using complex arcane spells on themselves, arcane warriors are able to surpass the limits of their physical forms and stand beside knights, warriors and other combatants in the front lines of the battlefield. 
This tradition is commonly found in lands where magic is very common, very scarce or wherever magically resistant hazards abound. <br>
Without the need to rely solely on their spells, arcane warriors are able to stand a chance against creatures immune to spell firepower.

#### War Training
You gain proficiency light armor, shields and one martial melee weapon of your choice. <br>
Your hit point maximum increases by 2 points, and increases again by 1 point whenever you gain a level in this class.

#### Warspell
Starting when you pick this tradition, you learn how to allow arcane energies to flow through your body, giving you enhanced physical capabilities. <br>
As a bonus action, you can spend a spell slot to activate your warspell. The warspell counts as a transmutation spell effect of the same level as the spell slot used to activate it. Your warspell remains active for 8 hours, until you lose consciousness or you finish a long rest. <br>
You gain the following effects while your warspell is active:
* You can add your Intelligence modifier to your Strength ability score, up to a maximum total Strength score of 20.
* You can use your Intelligence modifier instead of your Dexterity modifier when calculating your armor class. You lose this benefit if you don medium or heavy armor.
* You are unable to benefit from your arcane recovery feature.

#### Empowered Warspell
Starting at 6th level, you can channel additional arcane energies through your body using your warspell, greatly improving your combat prowess.<br>
When using a spell slot of 3rd level or higher to activate your warspell, you gain the following additional benefits:
* You can attack twice, instead of once, when you take the attack action on your turn.
* Your melee weapon attacks are considered magical for the purpose of overcoming damage resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

#### Resilient Warspell
When you reach 10th level, you are able to channel more complex arcane patterns with your warspell. <br>
When using a spell slot of 5th level or higher to activate your warspell, you gain the following additional benefits:
* You gain proficiency with Strength saving throws.
* Any attempt to dispel your warspell is now made with disadvantage.
