Magiknight

"I did not inherit my powers, nor spend a lifetime in

study to obtain them. No, my power was thrust upon
me, as a painful, horrendous curse that granted me my freedom from the torment and experiment that I had suffered through at the whims of my captors. Now I control the arcane, and all I have left to show is this scar, that grows across my body as the arcane mutates me further."

-- Capti Glaiste, Retribution of the Slave


Lying upon the cold stone floor of the lab, he had lost all control of his body. Feeling the cold seep into his bone, with his conscious slipping, he could do nothing to save himself, but silently beg to whatever powers out there could save him from this hell he had now found himself in for 5 years. Suddenly, a searing hot pain formed upon his left shoulder blade, and spread through his veins, before returning and solidifying where it had first sprung up. regaining enough strength to open his eyes, he saw a dog wreathed in flames standing before him.

Arcane banes, and front-line casters, magiknights are those who enhance their battle prowess with the power of arcane energies that have been transplanted within them. Using this magic, they can add the powers of the elements to their attacks, or send out bolts of arcane energy at their enemies.

Arcane Experiments

Different to the wizards and bards who spend years of study to unlock the secrets of the arcane, the sorcerers who have it as their birthright, or the likes of warlock and clerics who find power granted to them by a higher being, magiknights find themselves with magic thrust upon them by a curious individual, and often those with no qualms about the risks to their test subjects.

Magicknights are created as a byproduct of wizards experiments. Attempting to forcefully create arcane beings and man made sorcerers, wizards have taken to attempting the replacements of a mortals life force with arcane energy, and chaos magic. The byproduct of these experiments are often corpses and monstrosities of what use to be humanoids, however, on rare occasion, a persons body will fuse with the arcane energy, developing into a curse mark and granting control over chaos magic and other newfound abilities.

Lost Children

Most magiknights are kidnapped and taken at a young age, removed from their families, and brought to hidden towers and forgotten laboratories where they will spend years of their lives, usually hidden away from the rest of civilization, and monitored, tortured, and subjected to dark rituals constantly.

This often causes magiknights who survive their torment and gain their freedom to have broken personalities, and experience difficulties in communication with other people, having little experience being treated as a person or an equal.

Magiknight Training

At 1st level, your training as a Magiknight gives you mastery of combat styles that use any simple weapons or any martial weapons that don't have the two-handed or heavy property. While you are wielding simple weapons or martial weapons and are not wearing heavy armor, you gain the following benefits:

Class | Magiknight
  • You can use your Intelligence modifier in place of your Strength modifier to determine your melee weapon attack and damage rolls.
  • Weapon Beam: When you take the Attack action, you can forego one of your attacks to fire a beam of chaos from your weapon at an enemy within 15ft of you, dealing 1d4 + your intelligence modifier worth of force damage. This can be used a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, all expended used being regained after completing a long rest.

Fighting Style

Starting at 2nd level, you adopt a particular 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 Adept

You learn two cantrips of your choice from the Wizard spell list. They count as Magiknight 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.

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.

Interception

When a creature you can see hits a target, other than you, within 5 feet of you with an attack, you can use your reaction to reduce the damage the target takes by 1d10 + your proficiency bonus (to a minimum of 0 damage). You must be wielding a shield or a simple or martial weapon to use this reaction.

Protection

When a creature you can see attacks a target other than you that is within 5 feet of you, you can use your reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. You must be wielding a shield.

Spellcasting

Once you reach 2nd level, you have learned to draw on your curse mark to harness the power of arcane and chaos to cast your spells.

Spell Slots

The Magiknight table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your spells. To cast one of your magiknight spells of 1st level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.

Preparing Spells

You prepare the list of magiknight spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the magiknight spell list. When you do so, choose a number of magiknight spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your magiknight level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

For example, if you are a 5th-level magiknight, you have four 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 14, your list of prepared spells can include four spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination. If you prepare the 1st-level spell magic missile, you can cast it using a 1st-level or a 2nd-level slot. Casting the spell doesn't remove it from your list of prepared spells.

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of magiknight spells requires time spent training your mind harnessing the power of your curse mark: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spell Casting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your magiknight spells, since their power from your curse mark has to be mentally focused. 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 magiknight 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 any martial or simple weapon in at least one hand as a spellcasting focus for your magiknight spells.

Ultima

Starting at 2nd level, Your curse mark allows you to tap into your life essence and draw out volatile magic. Your access to this magic is represented by a number of Ultima Points. Your Magiknight level determines the number of points you have, as shown in the Ultima Points column of the Magiknight table.

You can spend these points to fuel various ultima features. You learn two such features at 2nd level: Splintering Winter and Scorching Flames. You learn more Ultima features as you gain levels in this class.

Your ultima points refill after you complete a short or long rest, as you reabsorb all of the volatile magic back into your body.

Some of your ultima features require your target to make a saving throw to resist the feature's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows:

Ultima Save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus +

your Intelligence modifier

Splintering Winter. Immediately after you cast a ranged spell attack on your turn, you can spend 1 Ultima point to cause ice to Splinter off the spell causing an additional 1d8 cold damage.

Scorching Flames. You can spend 1 Ultima point, as a reaction you can call upon flames to burn any hostile creature within 5ft of you. They must make a Dexterity saving throw or it takes 1d10 fire damage. on a failed save, they take half as much damage.
