The Shieldwitch

A elven warrior holds up his shield, but no weapon in his other hand. The goblins draw closer, expecting an easy fight. The elf sneers, then extends and empty hand, only to have bolts of power dart forth and strike down his bewildered foes, scattering before him like mice in the light of his deadly spells.

A tiefling Archer launches a volley of arrows at the bandits in the pass. They turn to fire back, only to find that their pursuer is gone, hidden from view by arcane power.

A human mercanary prepares to charge into battle. He lobs glass vials ahead of him, blinding his foes and setting them ablaze before drawing his sword and finishing the fight.

The Arm of Wizards

In the times when mages and wizards were just getting used to the idea that they might be an influence on the world as a whole instead fo a few disparate scholars learning to bend reality to their will, the fear of those without such powers turned into violence. Those early wizards trained the more hearty among them to fight with both shield and spell, to have a warriors on their side capable of weilding magic but also use hammer and sword and bow to keep the ingorant and superstituious at bay.

Many Warriors, Many Paths

Over time, these soldiers became grouped into sects, the same as the Wizards you taught them, aligned with those wizardly schools. Even further still, rogue warriors splintered off of the sects and became their own force, teaching one another rather than accepting tutelage from wizards, sorcerors, and warlocks.

A Balance of Tools

The Sheildwitch is a class that balances both magic and swordplay. They have weapons and armor at their command, but also some of the deadliest spells. Their greatest ability may be their sharpened minds and which allows them a level of planning and luck that appears magical all on it's own.

Creating a Shieldwitch

Start with asking how they came to study both blade a spell. Do they work with mages or are they part of an independant sect? Are they focused on in their use of magic or do they use it only to supplemt their martial abilities? Do they champion the people, are they a sword for hire, or perhaps a dedicated adventurer or treasure hunter.

Quick Build

You can make a Shieldwitch quickly by following these suggestions. First, put your highest ability score in Intelligence, then Constitution, then either Dexterity or Strength. Then choose Either the Soldier or Sage background.

Eureka

Your mind is honed and quick, capable of making contingency plans on the fly. As a result, any time you fail an attack roll, a saving throw, or an ability check, you may immediately try again using an intelligence ability check in place of the original roll, using this result, even if it's lower.

Once you use this ability you may not use it again until you've completed a long or short rest.

Sixth Sense

Your senses extend beyond the usual five and you've a constant perception of magic's influence. Until the end of your next turn, you know the location of any Abberation, Construct, Elemental, or Undead within 60 feet of you that is not behind total cover.

Sixth Sense (cont'd)

You know the type (Abberation, Construct, Elemental, or Undead) of any being whose presence you sense, but not its identity. Within the same radius, you also detect the presence of any place or object permanently enchanted (such as a permanent Teleportation Circle).

You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Intellegence modifier. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses.

Spellcasting

A 2nd level, you have completed the rigorous training and discipline that it takes to cast spells, much as Wizards do.

Cantrips

At 2nd level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the Shieldwitch spell list. You learn additional Shieldwitch cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the Cantrips Known column of the Shieldwitch table.

Spellbook

At 2nd level, you have a spellbook containing four 1st-level shieldwitch spells of your choice. Your spellbook is the repository of the shieldwitch spells you know, except your cantrips, which are fixed in your mind.

Preparing and Casting Spells

The Shieldwitch table shows how many spell slots you have to cast your Shieldwitch 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.

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

For example, if you’re a 5th-level Shieldwitch, you have 4 1st-level and two 2nd-level spell slots. With an Intelligence of 16, your list of prepared spells can include 6 spells of 1st or 2nd level, in any combination, chosen from your spellbook. 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 the list of Shieldwitch spells requires time spent studying your spellbook and memorizing the incantations and gestures you must make to cast the spell: at least 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your Shieldwitch spells, since you learn your spells through dedicated 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 Shieldwitch 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

Ritual Casting

You can cast a wizard spell as a ritual if that spell has the ritual tag and you have the spell in your spellbook. You don’t need to have the spell prepared.

Learning Spells of 1st Level and Higher

At 3rd level and each time you gain a Shieldwitch level thereafter, you can add one Shieldwitch spell of your choice to your spellbook for free. The spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots, as shown on the Shieldwitch table. On your adventures, you might find other spells that you can add to your spellbook, the same as Wizards do.

Fighting Style

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.

Archery

You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

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.

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.

Spell and Shield

If you are wielding no weapons and use a Cantrip that allows you to make a Spell attack, you may ignore half cover. If the cantrip forces the target to make a saving throw, you may make them do so with disadvantage; if you do, you may not do so agian until you complete a short rest.

Combat Alchemy

You may consume a potion as a bonus action.

You are proficient with Acid, Alchemist's fire and other similar grenade like alchemical agents. When you take the Attack action, you use your bonus action to make an attack with such items.

Spell Strike

At 2nd Level, you gain the ability to imbue your weapons with arcane energies, delivering devestating blows to your enemies. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can expend one spell slot to deal fire, cold, lightning, poison, or thunder damage (choose one) to the target, in addition to the weapon’s damage. The extra damage is 3d6 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d6 for each spell level higher than 1st, to a maximum of 6d6.

You may use this on multiple attacks in the same round, but if you do, the type of damage done by this feature is the same for all attacks that round.

Intense Concentration

At 3rd level, your concentration becomes formidable. If you fail a Concentration check, you may reroll that save and take the result of the second roll. After you use this ability, you cannot use it again until you've completed a short rest.

You also have advantage on saving throws to resist being Charmed.

Sect

At 3rd level, the Shieldwitch narrows their focus into one of the schools of magic. Traditionally, this would be accompanied by oaths that bound you to wizards of the same school, though that's much less common at this time. The abilites granted will depend on the school chosen.

Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 7th, 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.

Using the optional feats rule, you can forgo taking this feature to take a feat of your choice instead.

Extra Attack

Beginning at 5th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.

Eldritch Eye

At 6th level, your magical senses are enhanced, such that you notice things that no other person would. Invisible creatures and objects are only lightly obscured to you and when attacking them, you do not have disadvantage (though they still retain advantage to attack) and you can tell that shapeshifted creatures, like Mimics, Dopplegangers, and spellcasters using Polymorph are not in their natural form; they have a faint glow, though you cannot tell what their actual form should be without additional abilities.

At 18th level, you are treated as constantly being under the effects of the spell See Invisibility.

Cursebreaker

You learn the spell Remove Curse if you do not already know it and add it to your spellbook. You may cast it as if it had the Ritual tag; if you do, you may not do so again until you have completed a long rest.

Improved Spellstrike

Your weapons are always suffused with magical power. Your weapon attacks are considered magical. When you take the Attack action, you may add 1d6 fire, cold, lighting, poison, or thunder damage to each of your weapon attacks. If you are making multiple attacks in a round, each attack may be of a different type of damage, which may also be different than the type used in a Spellstrike.

Dispelling grasp

Beginning at 14th level, you can use your action to end one spell on yourself or on one other creature that you touch. You must make a special unarmed strike in place of the Attack action, unless you are grappling them or they are willing. They may resist with a Charisma saving throw. The DC is your Shieldwitch level.

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

Witch's Warning

At 18th level, you may use your Eureka abilty to allow an ally within 60' to reroll an ability check, attack roll, or savings throw. You also may use Eureka up to three times before needing a short or long rest.

Sects

Sect of Alchemical Warfare

Weaponize

Shieldwitches of the Sect of Alchemical Warfare are never unarmed. At 3rd level, if they have metal or wood to work with equal to the weight of a martial weapon, or simple weapon, they can reshape it into a weapon or shield of reasonable quality as an action. The item falls apart back into it's components in 10 mintues.

If they have an existing weapon, they may hone and rebalance it using the same ability. As an action, they may prepare the weapon and have it either have a +1 to hit and +1 to damage. These bonuses are not magical and do not stack with any bonuses gained by magic. After ten minutes, the weapon returns to it's normal state.

At 15th level, they may choose to make one such transformation permanent. If they do, they cannot do so again until after they have completed a long rest.

Tactical ALchemy

You gain proficiency in Alchemist's Fire and Acid, if you do not already have it, along with other greande like alchemical preparations. You also gain proficency in Alchemist's Tools or one of the other tool kits availble to this class.

If you brew Alchemist's Fire or Acid, you may craft 10gp per hour instead of 5gp and it does an additional die of damage when used. You may also fortify existing Alchemist's Fire or Acid. To do so takes 1 hour, which may be completed during a short rest and requires either your Alchemist's supplies or 10gp in materials. If you do, the items do an additional die of damage any time damage may be rolled for them.

War Alchemist

At 7th Level, the Shieldwitch gains access to several new alchemical formulas. The Shieldwitch may add the spell Assemble to their spellbook if they do not already have it.

If a formula calls for a saving throw when used, use the Shieldwitch's spell DC or the item's DC, witchever is greater; if used by another creature, use the listed DC.

In addition to Alchemist's Fire and Acid, they learn to make the following potions and preparations (Costs in GP):

Fortifying Elixir (50gp): You gain resistance to one type of damage, either Bludgeoning, Fire, Ice, Lightning, Poison, Piercing, or Slashing for one minute.

Grenade (30gp): This simple explosive does 2d6 Thunder damage to the target plus 1d6 Thunder damage to each creature within 5' of them on a successful hit.

Recovery Draught (10gp): Imbibing this potion allows one to immediately expend up to two hit dice to restore hit points or to lose one level of exhaustion.

Stenchball (10gp): Stenchballs release a noxious, nauseating odor when they strike something hard. If it strikes a creature, that creature must make a DC 12 Con save or be Poisoned until the end of their next turn. Creatures immune to the Poisoned condition automatically make this save.

Tanglefoot Bag (20gp): A ball that releases sticky tendrils, if it hits a creature of medium size or smaller, they must make a DC 12 Strength save or be Grappled. This may also target large creatures, but they make the save with Advantage. The tanglefoot bag disolves after 5 rounds. A grappled creature may make a new save each round.

Thunderstone (20gp): A loud noise and a bright flash gets emitted when this small stone strikes something with force. The target must make a DC 12 Wisdom saving throw or be blinded and deafend until the end of their next turn.

Alchemical formula

The items made available to Shieldwitches at 7th level may be available on the open market. If so, use the above stats and save DC's with the exception of Grenades.

Grenade (30gp): This simple explosive does 1d6 Thunder damage to the target plus 1d6/2 Thunder damage to each creature within 5' of them on a successful hit.

Hurlant

At 15th level, the Shieldwitch may throw grenades and other alchemical weapons harder. Their range becomes 45'/90'.

Magesmith

At 15th level, Sectarians may attune to their armor or weapon as if it were a magic item. If they do, a weapon becomes a magical +2 weapon in their hands or their armor gains a magical +2 bonus to AC.

If the Shieldwitch dies or the weapons cease to be attuned to them, they revert to their normal, non-magical state.

Eldritch Magification

At 20th level, the Shieldwitch's command over crude matter becomes even greater. Their abilities improve as follows.

• If a preparation or potion they have made calls for a roll of a die for damage or healing, roll two extra dice and add those to it.
• You may craft 50gp of Alchemical items during a long rest without requiring any raw materials if you have a set of Alechemist's Supplies.

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.

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.

Battleshift

At 7th level, you may add the spell Misty Step to your spellbook if you do not already have it, in which case you may add another 2nd level spell from the Shieldwitch list.

You may not use this ability again until you complete a short rest.

Wise Escape

At 7th level, the Shieldwitch may not be surprised.
