The Weaveknight

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

As a Weaveknight you gain the following class features.

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.

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 the Channel Spell secret art, and two other 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, whenever you finish a long rest, you can replace one of the secret arts you know 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.

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. If you do so, you must use the new roll.

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.

Versatile Spellcaster

At 14th level, your grasp over magic allows you to manipulate the arcane energies to your will depending on your needs. As a bonus action you can expend 2 spell slots of the same level to create 1 spell slot of one level higher, or expend a higher level spell slot to create 2 spell slots of 1 level lower than the one expended.

For example, you can expend two 1st level spell slots to create one 2nd level spell slot or one 2nd level spell slot to create two 1st 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.

Weaveknight Disciplines

As you delve further into the secret techniques of the weaveknights, you begin to find order amdidst the chaos. When you reach 3rd level, your training pays off as you start to manifest new abilities, unique to the discipline that you have chosen to perfect. These revelations unearth new magics for you as well as ways to further manipulate the weave and the arcane energies of the world to enhance your martial fighting.

The Spellwarden

Spellwardens are abjuration specialists. However, these weaveknights are able to touch the 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.

The Spellbow

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.

Arcane Accuracy

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to enhance your shots with magic. As a bonus action, you can apply one of the following benefits to the next ranged attack you make before the end of your turn:

• You have advantage on the attack roll.

• You can enhance the ammunition with magic, granting it a +1 bonus to the attack and damage rolls. The magic fades from the ammunition immediately after it hits or misses its target.

• You can add 1d6 to the damage roll.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to our proficiency bonus (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.

Rapid Shot

At 7th level, you can weave a quick shot in combination with your spells. When you use your action to cast a spell that requires a ranged spell attack or causes an effect in a line, you can make a ranged weapon attack as a bonus action.

Close Quarters Shot

At 11th level, your training unveils additional ways to use your magics in combat. If you hit a creature within 5 feet of you with a ranged attack on your turn, that creature can't take reactions until the start of its next turn. You also add the following options to your arcane strike feature:

Bursting Spellstrike. Your strike detonates with arcane energy. The target and all creatures within 10 feet of it must make a Dexterity saving throw against your weaveknight spell save DC, taking 1d6 force damage per level of the spell slot on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

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. Furthermore, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw against your weaveknight spell save DC or become restrained until the end of its next turn.

Penetrating Shot

At 15th level, your shots weaken the defenses of your enemies. As a reaction when you hit a creature with a ranged attack, you ignore all damage resistances of that creature until the end of your turn.

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.

Devastasting Shot

At 20th level, your arcane prowess allows you to empower your shots with devastating effects. As a bonus action, you can declare a Devastating Shot. If your next ranged attack hits, you automatically score a critical hit. Once you use this feature, you must finish a short or long rest before you use it again.

The Magehunter

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's Brand

Also at 3rd level, you learn how to more efficiently hunt your prey. As a bonus action, you can mark a creature and gain the following benefits for the next minute:

• You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) and Wisdom (Survival) checks made to track or find the marked creature.

• Your first attack against the marked creature during each of your turns deals extra psychic damage. The extra damage is equal to 1d8 + your weaveknight level. This increases to 1d10 + your weaveknight level at level 11.

• When you damage the marked creature with a weapon attack and it is concentrating on a spell, it must subtract your Intelligence modifier from the number rolled for the saving throw it makes to maintain concentration.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus (minimum of once). You regain all expended uses of this feature when you finish a long rest.

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.

Once per turn when an enemy you can see within 30ft of you casts a spell, you can expend your reaction and a spell slot to teleport to a point within 5ft of them and/or make a weapon attack against them.
