### Eldritch Knight, Revised The archetypal Eldritch Knight combines the martial mastery common to all fighters with a careful study of magic. Eldritch Knights use magical techniques similar to those practiced by wizards. They focus their study on two of the eight schools of magic. These knights learn a comparatively small number of spells, committing them to memory instead of keeping them in a spellbook. #### Spellcasting When you reach 3rd level, you augment your martial prowess with the ability to cast spells. ***Cantrips.*** You learn three cantrips of your choice from the wizard spell list. You learn an additional wizard cantrip of your choice at 10th level. ***Spell Slots.*** The Eldritch Knight 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. For example, if you know the 1st-level spell Shield and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast Shield using either slot. ***Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher.*** Choose two schools of magic (detailed in the Player's Handbook, Chapter 10: Spellcasting, page 203, The Schools of Magic sidebar) which become your arcane specialties. You know three 1st-level wizard spells of your choice, two of which must be spells of the same school as either of your arcane specialties. The Spells Known column of the Eldritch Knight Spellcasting table shows when you learn more wizard spells of 1st level or higher. Each of these must be spells of the same school as either of your arcane specialties, and must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 7th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level. The spells you learn at 8th, 14th, and 20th level can come from any school of magic. 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 spell of the same school as either of your arcane specialties, unless you're replacing the spell you gained at 3rd, 8th, 14th, or 20th level from any school of magic. ***Spellcasting Ability.*** Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your wizard spells, since you learn your spells through study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a wizard spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one. <div align="center"> **Spell save DC** = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier **Spell attack modifier** = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier </div>     ***Spellcasting Focus.*** You can use an arcane focus as a spellcasting focus for your wizard spells.   \columnbreak <div class='classTable'> ##### Eldritch Knight Spellcasting | Figter Level | || Cantrips Known | Spells Known | 1st | 2nd | 3rd | 4th | |:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:--- | 3rd | | | 3 | 3 | 2 | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | | 4th | | | 3 | 4 | 3 | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | | 5th | | | 3 | 4 | 3 | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | | 6th | | | 3 | 4 | 3 | ─ | ─ | ─ | ─ | — | — | — | — | | 7th | | | 3 | 5 | 4 | 2 | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | | 8th | | | 3 | 6 | 4 | 2 | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | | 9th | | | 3 | 6 | 4 | 2 | — | — | — | — | — | — | — | | 10th | | | 4 | 7 | 4 | 3 | ─ | ─ | ─ | — | — | — | — | | 11th | | | 4 | 8 | 4 | 3 | ─ | ─ | ─ | — | — | — | — | | 12th | | | 4 | 8 | 4 | 3 | ─ | ─ | ─ | — | — | — | — | | 13th | | | 4 | 9 | 4 | 3 | 2 | ─ | ─ | — | — | — | — | | 14th | | | 4 | 10 | 4 | 3 | 2 | ─ | ─ | — | — | — | — | | 15th | | | 4 | 10 | 4 | 3 | 2 | ─ | ─ | — | — | — | — | | 16th | | | 4 | 11 | 4 | 3 | 3 | ─ | ─ | — | — | — | — | | 17th | | | 4 | 11 | 4 | 3 | 3 | ─ | ─ | — | — | — | — | | 18th | | | 4 | 11 | 4 | 3 | 3 | ─ | ─ | — | — | — | — | | 19th | | | 4 | 12 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 | ─ | — | — | — | — | | 20th | | | 4 | 13 | 4 | 3 | 3 | 1 | ─ | — | — | — | — | </div> #### Weapon Bond At 3rd level, you learn a ritual that creates a magical bond between yourself and one weapon. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The weapon must be within your reach throughout the ritual, at the conclusion of which you touch the weapon and forge the bond. Once you have bonded a weapon to yourself, you can't be disarmed of that weapon unless you are incapacitated. If it is on 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. Additionally, your bonded weapon acts as an arcane focus for your wizard spells, and you can perform the somatic components of these spells as if your hand was free while wielding a bonded weapon. You can have up to two bonded weapons, but can summon only one at a time with your bonus action. If you attempt to bond with a third weapon, you must break the bond with one of the other two. \pagebreak #### War Magic Beginning at 7th level, once per turn when you take the Attack action, you can exchange one or more possible attacks, as well as a bonus action (provided you first exchange an attack), to cast a single-action damaging cantrip. A cantrip cast in this way has a number of standard damage dice equal to the total number of attacks and bonus actions exchanged (up to the number of damage dice that would normally be dealt by a cantrip at the caster's level) and allows you to add your Intelligence modifier to the cantrip's damage roll. The cantrip cast by this feature is treated as an attack equivalent to the number of standard attacks exchanged for this feature, and interacts with standard attacks that have not been exchanged as normal. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses of it when you finish a short or long rest. #### Eldritch Strike At 10th level, you learn how to make your weapon strikes undercut a creature's resistance to your spells. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, that creature has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes against a spell you cast before the end of your next turn. #### Arcane Charge At 15th level, you gain the ability to teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see when you use your Action Surge. You can teleport before or after the additional action. #### Improved War Magic Starting at 18th level, your War Magic feature increases in potential. You can treat any single-action spell as you would a cantrip when using War Magic, allowing a spell to be cast at a slot level equal to the number of attacks and bonus actions exchanged (up to the slot level of any unused spell slots). The spell cast by this feature is treated as an attack equivalent to the number of standard attacks exchanged for this feature, and interacts with standard attacks that have not been exchanged as normal. You must have a use of War Magic to use this feature. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short rest, even if you have additional uses of War Magic.
