Magus

Steel flashes from the human's right hand,
striking down one foe as she prepares to
unleash lightning from her left hand at the next. Across the battlefield, she sees her target slashing at an ally. In a magic step, she teleports across the battlefield, bringing the fight to her foe.

The half elf stares at his sword as arcane energy begins to fill its blade. Glowing with mana, the half elf strikes an unwitting orc with the ensorceled weapon. He smiles as the magic frost pulses forth, freezing the orc to the bone.

An arrow flies across the battlefield, striking earth amongst a cluster of goblins. Their mirth at seeing the arrow miss them all fades when it explodes in fiery blast.

Spell and Steel

A good warrior always know to trust in his weapons, but a magus knows that it's always good to have a spell up your sleeve. A magus keeps the balance between spell and steel, ensuring that he always has a solution to any situation. Comfortable in the front lines of battle or supporting from the rear, a warmage has the flexibility to take down the most armored of foes, but also the security in his own strength that he can survive even after his spells are spent.

Solitary Questing

The life of a magus is one of continual personal progression. The development of their abilities does not lend itself to laziness, so a magus always seeks a chance to use their arts. Many magi find themselves engaged serving as a champion to a lord or earning a living as a mercenary, combating foes that need fighting and monsters that need slaying.

The studies of martial and arcane art do not often overlap and most magi find themselves on an unending journey to better themselves. Some magi come from schools where they are taught to wield weapon and magic in tandem, but this education is just a starting point. The call of adventure lures magi with new relics to find, new foes to fight, and new techniques to learn.

Creating a Magus

In building a magus, the first consideration is what style of warrior and what sort of weapon does your magus have bonded. Did you receive your training in a formal academy and learn to fight in regulated duels? Perhaps your magus was recruited at a young age into an army that had a magic company? Or maybe you were an orphan taken in by a retired master magus living as recluse in a desert?

The second consideration in why and how you left to start your adeventuring life. Did you strike out after your training to seek your destiny? Were you outcast in disgrace after being the sole survivor of some military operation? Do you delve ancient ruins seeking lost spells or combat techniques?

Quick Build

You can make a magus quickly by following these suggestions. First, make Intelligence your highest ability score. Your next highest score should be Dexterity if you want to use a finesse or ranged weapon, or Strength if you do not. Secondly, choose the Soldier Background.

Weapon Bond

As part of your initial magus training, 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 the ritual 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.

You can have up to two bonded weapons, but you 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.

Arcane Strike

At 1st level, you can infuse your weapons with magic to add effects to your attacks. When you gain this feature, you learn one of the Arcane Strike options of your choice from the following list.

When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack as part of the Attack action, you may spend a bonus action to apply one of your Arcane Strike options to that attack. You decide to use the option when the attack hits, but before damage is dealt.

Any option that requires a saving throw has a DC that is equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier.

You have two uses of this feature and regain all uses after a short or long rest. You gain additional options at certain levels in this class: 2nd, 5th, 9th, 13th, and 17th.

Burning Strike

Your weapon blazes with flame and deals fire damage instead of its normal damage type. A creature struck by this strike ignites in flames. At the start of each of its turns until the effect ends, the target must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 1d6 fire damage. On a successful save, the effect ends. If the target or creature within 5 feet of it uses an action to put out the flames, or if some other effect douses the flames, the effect ends.

Blinding Strike

Your weapon gives off dim light and deals radiant damage instead of its normal damage type. A creature struck by this Arcane Strike option must make a Constitution saving throw and on a failure, it is blinded until the end of its next turn.

Corrosive Strike

Acid drips from your weapon and it deals acid damage instead of its normal damage type. A creature struck by this Arcane Strike option must make a Dexterity saving throw.

Spellcasting

By the time you reach 2nd level, you develop an understanding of magic and the ability to cast basic magic spells. You know all of your spells by rote and can cast them without preparation. Refer to chapter 10 of the Player's Handbook for the general rules of spellcasting.

Spell Slots

The Magus 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 burning hands and have a 1st-level and 2nd-level spell slot available, you can cast burning hands using either slot.

Spells Known of 1st Level and Higher

The Spells Known column of the Magus table shows when you learn more spells of your choice. Each of the spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots. For instance, when you reach 5th level in this class, you can learn one new spell of 1st or 2nd level.

Additionally when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the magus spells that you know and replace it with another spell from the Magus spell list, which also must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for magus spells, since your spells are learned 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 magus 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 your spellcasting focus for magus spells.

Two-Weapon Fighting

When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.

Magus Path

At 3rd level, you choose a path of steel and sorcery that guides the development and practice of your abilities. Choose Aegis Warden, Blade Conjurer, Geomancer, Hexblade, Juggernaut, or Warmage. The Magus Path you choose grants you features at 3rd, 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.

Arcane Channeling

Beginning at 6th level, you are able to channel your arcane energies through your martial implements. Choose one of the following options.

Channel Spell

As an action, you may channel one of your spells into a melee weapon, expending the spell slot. The channeled spells must have a casting time of one action or one bonus action. You can channel your spells into only one weapon at a time. If you channel another spell into a weapon, the first spell is lost. Spells channeled into a weapon are lost if not used before the end of the next long rest.

The next time you hit a creature or object with the weapon containing the channeled spell, you may spend a bonus action to discharge the spell, applying the spells effects to your target. If the spell normally affects an area or is a ray, it affects only the target. The spell is discharged from the weapon, which can then hold another spell.

Daggercast

While you are wielding a light weapon in one hand, you may cast spells that require somatic components as if you had a free hand. Additionally, when may use your Arcane Strike feature with thrown weapons.

Imbue Arrow

When you spend an action on your turn to cast a spell while holding a ranged bonded weapon, you can cast a spell through the projectile fired, using the range of the weapon rather than the spell's range. An area spell will be centered on wherever the projectile lands, even if the spell would normally be centered on the caster.

Shield Bond

Your Weapon Bond feature now applies to one shield in addition to your two weapons. Additionally, when wielding your bonded shield in one hand, you may cast spells that require somatic componenets as if you had a free hand.

Mettle

Beginning at 7th level, you can use magic to bolster your body against magical and unusual effects. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a Constitution saving throw that normally would have a lesser effect on a successful save, you instead completely negate the effect if you succeed, or take the lesser effect if you fail.

Battle Magic

Starting at 14th level, when you use your action to cast a Magus spell, you can make one weapon attack as a bonus action.

Spell Parry

By 18th level you have mastered adding your martial skill to your arcane defenses. When targeted by a spell and forced to make a saving throw, you can spend your reaction to make a melee attack with your bonded weapon in place of the normal saving throw.

Magus Paths

While all Magi blend martial and magical prowess, the path they take to do so varies greatly. The Magus Paths are Aegis Warden, Blade Conjurer, Geomancer, Hexblade, Juggernaut, and Warmage.

Aegis Warden

The Path of the Aegis Warden focuses on using magic to defend oneself and others. By placing abjurations on their allies, Aegis Wardens can control the battlefield by limiting the enemies' options and offensive abilities.

Warden's Defense

When choosing this path at 3rd level, you gain the ability to cast the Blade Ward cantrip. This spell counts as a Magus spell for you and does not count against your number of spells known.

Aegis

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to place a protective ward, called an aegis, on an ally. As a bonus action, you can place an aegis on an allied creature that you can see within 60 feet of you. The aegis grants the allied creature +1 AC for the next minute, until you use this ability again, or until you are incapacitated.

When you gain this feature, choose one of the following abilities to gain: Lesser Aegis of Assualt, Lesser Aegis of Ensnaring, or Lesser Aegis of Pursuit. When the target of your aegis is hit with an attack that did not include you and is within 60 feet of you, you may use your reaction to end the aegis effect and use your chosen ability.

Lesser Aegis of Assault. You may teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the target of your aegis and make an attack against the attacking creature.

If there is no valid destination for your teleport, you may not use this ability.

Lesser Aegis of Ensaring. You force the attacking creature to make a Constitution saving throw versus your Spellcasting DC. On a failed save, the creature is teleported to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you and the next attack against the creature before the end of your next turn has advantage.

Lesser Aegis of Shielding. Your may reduce the damage dealt to the target of your aegis by half your magus level, rounded down.

Bladed Ward

At 7th level, you can release your defensive magic as an attack. While under the effects of the Blade Ward cantrip and you are attacked by a creature adjacent to you, you may spend your reaction to drop the cantrip and deal 2d6 force damage to the attacking creature.

This damage increases by 1d6 at 11th level (3d6) and at 17th level (4d6).

Arcane Step

At 11th level, you can siphon magic from your spells to warp space and reposition yourself. When you use an action to cast a spell, you may teleport to an unoccupied space within 10 feet that you can see.

Improved Aegis

Starting at 15th level, your aegis ability is more effective. Replace your lesser aegis with its greater form listed below.

Greater Aegis of Assault. You may teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of the target of your aegis and make an attack against the attacking creature. If this attack hits, it deals an additional 3d8 force damage.

If there is no valid destination for your teleport, you may not use this ability.

Greater Aegis of Ensaring. You force the attacking creature to make a constitution saving throw versus your spellcasting DC. On a succesful save, the creature is knocked prone. On a failed save, the creature is teleported to an unoccupied space within 5 feet of you and is restrained by tendrils of magic force. The creature may spend an action to break free with a strength check versus your spellcasting DC.

If there is no valid destination for your teleport, you may not use this ability.

Greater Aegis of Shielding. The target of your aegis gains resistance against the attack.

Mass Aegis

At 20th level, you have mastered the art of magically protecting your allies. When you use your aegis ability, instead of choosing a single ally to receive your aegis, you may choose to place your aegis on any number of allied creatures within 30 feet of you.

Using this ability does not cause your aegis to fall off any previous targets of your aegis and any further uses of your aegis ability does not cause the aegis effect to end on the targets of your mass aegis.

You may use this ability once and regain that use after the completion of a long rest.

Blade Conjuror

A magus without a weapon is a magus that cannot do their job. Therefore the blade conjuror has mastered techniques to always have a weapon at hand and and the ability to make the most out of it.

Conjure Weapon

Beginning at 3rd level, you gain the ability to conjure weapons at will. With a bonus action, you can create two simple melee weapons that deal up to 1d4 damage each, a martial melee weapon that deals up to 1d6 damage, a shortbow, or up to six arrows.

These weapons appear in your hand, in an empty container on your person, or at your feet. The conjured weapons are visibly magical, radiating out dim light up to 5 feet. They last for up to 10 minutes, until you dismiss them as a free action, or until they take damage.

Arcane Overload

At 3rd level, you gain the ability to overload your weapons with arcane energy. When you take an attack action on your turn, you may fill any number of weapons on your person with arcane energy. When the weapon strikes a creature or an object, this energy is released. A melee weapon deals an extra damage die of force damage to the target and to itself.

Ammunition can also be overloaded. A piece of overloaded ammunition deals an extra 2 force damage. Overloaded ammunition is not recoverable.

Any overloaded weapon that didn't strike a target releases its energy at the end of your turn.

Damaging Weapons

The rules for damaging objects is on page 246 of the Dungeon Master's Guide. Most weapons would be treated at tiny resilient objects and have 5 (2d4) hit points.

Starting at 7th level, you increase the versatility of your conjured weapons and can fire them from a bow as if they were arrows. If you take an attack action to make an attack with a ranged weapon, you may use one of your conjured weapons as the ammunition. This adds the damage die from your conjured weapon to that of your ranged weapon.

Additionally, you may use your Arcane Strike class feature with this attack.

Improved Conjure Weapon

By 11th level, you are able to conjure larger weapons than you previously could. In addition to the normal conjure weapon options, you can also choose to create two martial melee weapons that deal up to 1d6 damage each, a martial melee weapon that deals up to 1d8 damage, or a longbow.

At 15th level, your mastery of magic and weapons allows you make attacks from a greater distance than normal. When you make a ranged attack, you may target a creature within your weapon's maximum range without disadvantage.

You may use this feature twice and regain all uses with a short or long rest.

At 20th level, you can spend an action to surround yourself in a spinning vortext of conjured weapons. Any creature that starts its turn or moves within 5 feet of you takes 3d6 force damage from the whirling weapons. While this effect is active, your conjure weapon ability requires no action to use.

This effect lasts for 1 minute, until you end it as a free action, or until you are incapacitated. Once you use this feature, you must complete a long rest before you can use it again.

Geomancer

Those who follow the Path of the Geomancer learn to weave the magical energies that flow through the earth. As a geomancer, you tap into the power of ley lines to bolster augment your spells. But this effect takes a toll on your body, transforming you into a force of nature yourself.

Spell Initiation

At 3rd level, you learn two cantrips from the wizard spell list. These spells count as magus spells for you and do not count against your number of spells known.

Elementary Arcanum

At 3rd level, you acquire a ritual spellbook and begin to keep spells that you can ritually cast within it. Choose two wizard spells of 1st level and add them to your spellbook. You can cast these spells as ritual spells, even if they do not have the ritual tag, but they can only be cast as rituals.

Additionally, if you come across a spell in written form, such as a magic scroll or wizard's spellbook, you may be able to add it to your spellbook. The spell must be a wizard spell, must be of a level that you can cast, and have the ritual tag. The process of copying a spell takes 2 hours per level of the spell and costs 50 gp per spell level. This cost represents the costs of materil components necessary to experimentally learn the spell and fine inks to record it in your spellbook.

Advanced Arcanum

At 7th level, you learn more ritual spells to augment your magical arsenal. Choose two 2nd level spells from the wizard spell list and add them to your spellbook. You can cast these spells as rituals even if they do not have the ritual tag, but you can only cast them as rituals.

Advanced Learning

By 15th level, you have expanded your education to learn spells that most magi do not know. You learn two spells of up to 4th level from the wizard spell list. These spells count as magus spells for you and do not count for against your spells known.
