Spellknight
A half orc warrior clad in scaly armor cornered by gnolls
looks around and assesses his situation. A smirk crawls
across his face as his sword bursts into flames. The half orc
easily cuts two of his quarry with a fiery wrath.
A human female in half plate raises her hand and wraps
her friends in a dull blue barrier, deflecting the brunt of a
dragonborn tyrant’s fire breath. Confused, the tyrant rears
back for an attack as the same human female lashes out at
him.
An elven male in leather armor strikes forth at the
opposing warrior clad in a thick set of plate armor, both of
their weapons glowing with energy as the two opponents
swing at one another; The elf’s greatsword glowing bright
with arcane energy as the armored warrior’s sword radiates
with divine energy. Their blades clash and clatter to the
sound of a roaring crowd.
These warriors have one thing in common: Combination of
magical & martial prowess. Spellknights are defined by their
capability to enhance their combat performance through
magical means. Not to be confused with Eldritch Knights,
Spellknights take their magic a step further and use their
willpower and mastery of the arcane to bend it to their desire.
While Wizards and other casters carefully craft their spells &
evoke a specific desired effect, Spellknights take more of a
“Brute Force” method to evoking magic by hastily throwing
cantrips together, evoking pure energy that is akin to the
spells magic missile and wall of force, or even just unleashing
a devastating blow to an enemy. While they do hold the ability
to cast distinct spells, their favored method of magic is to let
it flow out of their equipment & do some work for them.
Mages and Fighters
Spellknights adopt a particular aspect of their combat they
want to empower with magic. Instead of working tirelessly on
their weapon handling or becoming fiercer in battle,
Spellknights forge their mind into something to be feared or
admired on the battlefield. Their study of the Arcane goes
beyond casting spells & instead focuses on taking what
energy they need & using it for what they want. Their ability
to cast spells comes from careful practice & memorizing
incantations similarly to a wizard. However, their ability to
channel raw energy without a specific idea in mind comes
from their knowledge of the weave itself, understanding how
& why it works, and using that knowledge to their advantage.
Sword First, Magic Second
Spellknights are a special blend of warriors and mages. They
learn enough spells to be quite useful in combat; from the
lifesaving false life to the occasional sleep spell. These
warriors aren’t limited to evocation and abjuration magic in
the same way that other martial magic users are. They keep
their knowledge of magic as a good backup for when the
enemies they face require something more from a warrior
than their sword. Spellknights are very handy with their
sword, and even handier when they channel magics through
their sword.

Creating a Spellknight Quick Build

As you create a Spellknight, there are two main things you
must take into consideration: Where did you learn your
martial training & what compelled you to undertake rigorous
study in the arcane arts instead of solely focusing on your
weapon training? Did you confront an enemy that was
resistant or immune to your weapon's blows in the past?
Does the destructive power of a roaring inferno or the
concussive blast of a lightning bolt inspire you to emulate its
power & utilize it in combat?
Perhaps your acquisition of magic was one out of necessity,
or a curse imparted upon you by a sick, twisted mage that
sought to turn you into the ultimate weapon. However you
may have made the decision to study magic, it must be a
compelling reason to undergo such rigorous study of the
arcane.
Be sure to read ahead to the Area of Study to determine
what kind of Spellknight you want to be. Do you wish to
protect yourself and your allies? Or do you want to deal
incredible amounts of damage to incoming foes? Also be sure
to consider for what purpose do you use your magic? Are you
a noble knight that learned to use magic as a means to
augment your ability to protect those close to you? Or do you
lust for power & use magic as a means of achieving power?
https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/print/ryCR1M6tE?dialog=true

suggestions. First, Strength or Dexterity should be your

Mana
Starting at 1st level, your magical studies have allowed you to
harness the power of the ether around you. Your ability to
manipulate this raw magical energy is measured in Mana
Points. The number of Mana points you carry at each level is
determined by your Spellknight level, as shown in the Mana
points column of the Spellknight table. You can spend these
points to fuel various Mana features. You start knowing three
features: Spellcaster's wits, Defender's Resilience, and
Attacker's Fury. You may only have 1 mana feature active at a
time. When you spend a mana point, it is unavailable to you
until you complete a long rest. You can never have more
mana points than shown on the Spellknight table for your
level.
Attacker's Fury: You can spend 1 mana point as a bonus
action to gain a +1 bonus to weapon attack rolls and damage
rolls for 1 minute. At 11th level, you can spend 3 mana points
to gain a +2 bonus to weapon attack and damage rolls for 1
minute.
Defender's Resilience: You can spend 1 mana point as a
bonus action to gain a +1 bonus to your Armor Class and

At 11th level, you can spend 3 mana points to gain a +2 bonus
to Armor Class and Saving Throws against spells and
magical effects for 1 minute.
Spellcaster's Wits: You can spend 1 mana point as a
bonus action to gain a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls & your
spell save DC for 1 minute. At 11th level, you can spend 3
mana points to gain a +2 bonus to Spell attack rolls and your
Spell save DC for 1 minute.

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.

other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that
weapon.
Great Weapon Fighting
When you roll a 1 or 2 on a damage die for an attack you
make with a melee weapon that you are wielding with two
hands, you can reroll the die and must use the new roll. The
weapon must have the two-handed or versatile property for
you to gain this benefit.
Two-Weapon Fighting
SPELLKNIGHT
3 https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/print/ryCR1M6tE?dialog=true
When you engage in two-weapon fighting, you can add your
ability modifier to the damage of the second attack.
Spellcasting
Through your innate curiosity, you have been able to glean
the essence of magic. Starting at 2nd level, you can cast and
learn spells from the Spellknight Spell List
Cantrips
At 2nd level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the
Spellknight spell list. You learn an additional cantrip at 6th
level, and again at 15th level. You learn more spells as you
obtain levels in the Spellknight class, as shown in the
Spellknight table.
Spell Slots
The Spellknight 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.
Spells known of 1st level & higher
You know two 1st level spells of your choice from the
Spellknight spell list. The spells known column of the
Spellknight table shows when you learn more Spellknight
spells of your choice. Each of these spells must be of a level
for which you have spell slots.
Additionally, when you gain a level for this class, you can
choose one of the Spellknight spells you know and replace it
with another spell from the spellknight spell list, which also
must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your spellknight
spells, since they were learned through reading and studying
their essence. Additionally, you use your Intelligence modifier
when determining your saving throw DC for a spellknight
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
Mana Recovery
Starting at 2nd level, once per day you can either convert
spell slots into mana points or mana points into spell slots at
the end of a short rest according to the Mana Recovery table.

When you use this feature, you may either convert up to two
spell slots into mana points or convert enough mana points
for number of spell slots that have a combined level equal to
one-fourth of your Spellknight level (rounded up).
Area of Study
At 3rd level, you choose an Area of Study.
Your choices range from the Study of Blades, the Study of
Shields, the Study of Battle, Study of the Devout, and the
Study of the Elements. Each area of study provides you with
unique features & other ways to utilize your Mana points.
Your Area of Study grants you features at 3rd level, and
again at 6th, 10th, and 14th level.
Ability Score Increase
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.
Improved Arcana
Starting at 5th level, the amount of raw energy you are able to
channel at a time increases. You can now expend up to two
mana points per use of your Mana features. Each feature has
a different effect when more mana points are spent. The
maximum number of mana points you're able to expend per
use of these features increases to three at 11th level, and to
four at 17th level.
Arcane Sense
Beginning at 7th level, you've become so attuned to the weave
of magic that determining magical presences or auras
becomes trivial to you. You can use your action to cast detect
magic or identify without expending a spell slot. You can use
this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence
Modifier. You regain expended uses after you complete a long
rest. Additionally, you gain Proficiency in Arcana. If you are
already proficient, you can double your proficiency bonus
when making Arcana checks.
Energetic Presence
Starting at 11th level, the magics you’ve been channeling start
to meld with your form & become mildly active without your
conscious thought. Starting when you roll initiative, for 10
minutes, whenever you make a melee weapon attack roll
against a creature that you can see, you gain 1d4 to the attack
& damage roll. Your weapon attacks are considered magical
for the purpose of overcoming resistances & immunities to
nonmagical damage.
Additionally, you can add 1d4 to any Saving throw you
make against a spell or other magical effect that you can see.
The die rolled for this increases to a d6 at 15th level.
Ceaseless
https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/print/ryCR1M6tE?dialog=true
The Homebrewery - NaturalCrit
Starting at 18th level, as a bonus action on your first turn
after rolling for initiative you can expend one spell slot and
regain a number of mana points corresponding to your Mana
Recovery feature.
Channeler
At 20th level, when you roll for initiative and have no mana
points remaining, you regain 4 mana points.
Area of Study
Your Area of study determines various things about yourself
as a spellknight, and truly reflects upon your reasons for
undertaking rigorous study of the arcane. Is it personal
intrigue, or is there some greater purpose for aquiring such
poentially dangerous power?
Study of Battle
Using their energy to deflect blows & deal devastating
damage, the Study of Battle is equally as dangerous
defensively as they are offensively. They seem to bolster their
own abilities the longer they remain in battle; every strike
against them seemingly reinforces their strength. Your study
is largely focused on that of the redirection of energy;
deflecting it away from yourself & redirecting it at those who
it originated from. You've learned how to absorb incoming
blows & use that energy in your favor.
Absorb
Upon taking the Study of Battle, you can use your Mana to
soften incoming physical blows. Whenever you take
Bludgeoning, Piercing, or Slashing damage, you can use your
reaction to decrease the amount of damage you take by 1d10
+ your Intelligence Modifier for 1 mana point. At later levels
when you can spend more mana points, each additional
mana point spent increases the damage reduced by an
additional 1d10. You may use this feature while other mana
features are active.
Charge
Starting at 3rd level, you are able to use energy that you've
absorbed to empower your own attacks. This energy
absorbed is measured in charges. For every charge you
possess, you gain a cumulative +1 bonus to damage rolls. You
receive 1 charge whenever you reduce damage using your
Absorb feature. If you reduce more than 10 damage with a
single use of Absorb, you receive 2 charges. Charges vanish 1
minute after receiving your last charge. If you have a number
of charges greater than your Intelligence modifier, you lose 1
charge at the end of each of your turns.
Enhanced Absorb
Starting at 6th level, you can add half your Spellknight level to
the damage reduced when you use your Absorb feature.

Barrier
Beginning at 6th level, as an action, you can spend 2 mana
points to produce a powerful, magical force field that protects
you from damage & other effects and moves with you for 1
minute.
Any attacks or damaging effects that would hit you hit the
barrier instead. The barrier has hit points equal to 11 (2d10)
+ your Intelligence modifier + half your Spellknight level. The
barrier is immune to poison and psychic damage. While the
barrier is active, spells and other magical effects that target
only you cannot cause you to be blinded, charmed, deafened,
frightened, paralyzed, poisoned, or stunned. The barrier is
destroyed when it is reduced to 0 hit points. Anything that
destroys the barrier does so without harming you. Once the
Barrier is destroyed, you gain 1 charge plus a bonus charge
every 10 hit points the barrier had upon creation. For every
additional mana point spent to create the barrier, the barrier
has an extra 5 (1d10) hit points.
Projected Barrier
Beginning at 10th level, you can use your Barrier feature on a
Medium or smaller creature within 30 feet of you.
Overcharge
Starting at 14th level, you do not lose any charges until you
have a number of charges greater than your Intelligence
Modifier + 3. Once you do, you lose 1 charge at the end of
each of your turns.
Study of Blades
Someone who has undertaken the study of Blades focuses on
perfecting the balance of wielding a blade with magical
prowess. Students of the Blade learn how to channel magic
more effectively through an edged weapon.
Mana Feature: Evoke
Starting at 3rd level, you can use Mana to send a surge of
magical energy into your target. Whenever you hit a creature
with a melee weapon attack you may deal 2d6 force damage
in addition to the weapon's damage for 1 mana point. At later
levels when you can spend more mana points, you deal an
additional 1d6 force damage every additional mana point you
spend. You may use this feature while other mana features
are active.
Mana Feature: Mana Blade
Beginning at 6th level, you can use your mana to deliver
devastating blows more often. As a bonus action, you can
spend 2 mana points to make your weapon attack rolls score
a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 for 1 hour. At 17th level, as a
bonus action, you can spend 4 mana points to make your
weapon attacks score a critical hit on a roll of 18-20 for 1
hour.
Arcane Brute
Beginning at 10th level, your control of magic can be used to
intimidate others. If you have a weapon on hand, then you
may spend one mana point to make an Intimidation check
with your Intelligence score & Proficiency Bonus.
Powerful Destroyer
5 SPELLKNIGHT
https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/print/ryCR1M6tE?dialog=true
The Homebrewery - NaturalCrit
Starting at 14th level, whenever you use your Evoke feature, if
you roll a 1 or 2 on any of your damage dice that deal force
damage, you may reroll those dice. You must use the new roll
even if the new roll is a 1 or 2.
Study of the Devout
Spellknights that undertake the study of the Devout are
individuals that look at the powers that gods have, and seek
to understand the kind of magic they wield. These individuals
are not necessarily devoted to a god in particular. Devout
Spellknights do not obtain power from worship. They learn
how this magic works & apply it to themselves.
Mana Feature: Healing Touch
Starting at 3rd level, you are able to channel healing energy
through your hands. As an action, you can spend 1 mana
point to touch a creature and restore 4 (1d8) hit points to that
creature.
Additionally, as an action, you can spend 1 mana point and
free the creature from 1 disease, blindness, deafness,
paralysis, or poison. At later levels when you can spend more
mana points, you can either restore an additional 1d8 hit
points or free the creature from one of the conditions listed
for each mana point expended. You may use this feature while
other mana features are active.
Mana Feature: Holy Warrior
Starting at 3rd level, your magic can be used to ward off
magic that threatens to wither the soul. If you take Necrotic
damage, you can reduce the damage taken by 2d6 + your
Intelligence Modifier as a reaction for 1 mana point. You may
use this feature while other mana features are active.
Improved Healing Touch
Starting at 6th level, your skill with healing has greatly
improved. Whenever you roll a 1-4 on a healing die for your
Healing Touch, the total amount healed increases by 1.
Spiritual Senses
Starting at 10th level, your experimentation with the divine
gives you moderate awareness of good & evil presences.
Whenever you use one of your Arcane Senses, you also sense
the location of any celestial, fey, fiend, or undead within 30
feet of you throughout the duration of the Arcane sense.
Radiant Self
Starting at 14th level, you’ve become so exposed to the divine
that you can channel pure radiance through yourself. As a
bonus action on your turn, you become a shimmering image
of a holy warrior and gain the following benefits for 1 minute.
Your equipped weapon emits bright light in a 30 foot
radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet. This can be
dispelled as a bonus action on your next turn.
At the start of your turn, and for each subsequent turn, you
regain 1d6 hit points.
While this is active, melee weapon attacks deal an
additional 1d6 radiant damage.

Once you use this feature, you must complete a long rest
before you can use it again.
Study of the Elements
Spellknights that take the Study of the Elements are
individuals that are drawn to a particular aspect of nature.
The destructive power of a roaring inferno, the staggering
shock of a lightning bolt, the deafening crack of thunder.
Whatever natural force it may be, it has inspired you to study
it & understand how to harness its power.
Elemental Affinity
At 3rd level, hoose one of the following damage types: Acid,
Cold, Fire, Lightning, Thunder. Your choice will give you
benefits regarding that damage type. You can change your
Elemental Affinity each time you gain a level in this class.
Mana Feature: Weapon of the Elements
Starting at 3rd level, You can spend 1 mana point as a bonus
action to deal an additional 1d4 of your Elemental Affinity
damage on all melee weapon attacks for 1 minute. At 11th
level, you can spend 3 mana points as a bonus action to deal
an additional 2d4 of your Elemental Affinity damage on all
melee weapon attacks for 1 minute.
Mana Feature: Armor of the Primeval
Starting at 3rd level, You can reduce the damage type chosen
by your Elemental Affinity using Mana. Whenever you take
your Elemental Affinity damage type, you can use your
reaction to reduce the incoming damage by 2d6 + your
Intelligence Modifier for 1 mana point. Each additional mana
point spent increases the damage decreased by 2d6. You may
use this feature while other mana features are active.
Natural Soul
At 6th level, you gain resistance to the damage type chosen by
your Elemental Affinity. Additionally, you can treat any 1 on a
damage die or damage reduction die as a 2 if those dice deal
or reduce the damage type of your Elemental Affinity.
Elemental Aficionado
Beginning at 10th level, you can speak, read & write
Primordial.
Primordial Fury
Beginning at 14th level, you are able to let the very fabric of
the primal elemental energies run rampant through you. As
an action, you gain the following features from your
Elemental Affinity for 1 minute:
Acid: Each time a creature hits you with a melee weapon
attack they take 1d6 acid damage. Any nonmagical weapon
made of metal that hits you takes a permenant and
cumulative -1 penalty to attack and damage rolls. If the
penalty drops to -5, the weapon is destroyed. Each of your
weapon attacks deal an extra 1d6 acid damage. Whenever a
creature misses you with a melee attack roll, as a reaction,
you may deal 2d6 acid damage to that creature for 1 mana
point.
https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/print/ryCR1M6tE?dialog=true
The Homebrewery - NaturalCrit
Cold: Each time you hit a creature with a melee weapon
attack you reduce their movement speed by 10 feet and you
deal an additional 1d6 cold damage. Their movement speed
cannot be reduced to or below 0 using this feature. A
creature regains its normal movement speed at the end of its
next turn. Whenever a creature misses you with a melee
attack roll, as a reaction, you may deal 2d6 cold damage to
that creature for 1 mana point.
Fire: Each time a creature of your choice starts their turn
within 5 feet of you, they take 1d4 fire damage. Each of your
melee weapon attacks deal an extra 1d6 fire damage while
this is active. Whenever a creature misses you with a melee
attack roll, as a reaction, you may deal 2d6 fire damage to
that creature for 1 mana point. You emit a red, flickering light
while this is active.
Lightning: Each time a creature hits you with a melee
weapon attack, they take 1d6 lightning damage. Each time
you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, they cannot
take reactions until the start of their next turn, and they take
an additional 1d6 lightning damage. This does not apply if
the creature is resistant or immune to lightning damage.
Whenever a creature misses you with a melee attack roll, as a
reaction, you may deal 2d6 lightning damage to that creature
for 1 mana point. You emit dim, flickering blue light for 10
feet.
Thunder: Each time a creature hits you with a melee
weapon attack, all creatures of your choice within 5 feet of
you take 1d6 thunder damage. Each time you hit a creature
with a melee weapon attack, all creatures of your choice
within 5 feet of the targeted creature take 1d6 thunder
damage. Each time you hit a creature, that burst can be heard
from up to 60 feet away. Whenever a creature misses you
with a melee attack roll, as a reaction, you may deal 2d6
thunder damage to that creature and all creatures of your
choice within 10 feet of you. You emit a constant, low rumble
that can be heard from up to 30 feet away.
Once you use this feature, you must complete a long rest
before you can use it again. All saving throw DCs are
determined by your Spell save DC.
Study of Mortality
Few spellknights are morally twisted enough to taking such a
study. In many places, the things you learn are considered
illegal or forbidden knowledge. In your studies, you’ve
focused mainly on necromancy & the study of the energy that
concern life & death. Be cautious about who you show these
powers to, for they may bring you unwanted attention & could
lead to trouble. Powerful spellknights of the study of
mortality can often be mistaken for vampires due to their
altered physicality & the way they often times present
themselves.

 5/30/2019 The Homebrewery - NaturalCrit
Mana Feature: Siphon
Starting at 3rd level, you can steal life energy upon striking a
creature with your blade. When you hit a creature with a
melee weapon attack, as a bonus action on your turn you can
deal an additional 2d4 necrotic damage on top of the
weapon's damage for 1 mana point. At later levels, each
additional mana point spent increases the necrotic damage
dealt by 1d4. If your target has less than half its hit points
remaining, the damage die for this is a d6. You regain hit
points equal to half the necrotic damage dealt by this feature
if your target is not undead. You may use this feature while
other mana features are active.
Mana Feature: Vampiric Blade
Starting at 6th level, you can cause the touch of your blade to
leech the life out of your targets. You can spend 2 mana
points as a bonus action to deal an additional 1d4 necrotic
damage on all melee weapon attacks for 1 minute. If your
target has less than half its hit points remaining, the extra
damage is increased to 1d6. You regain hit points equal to
half the amount of necrotic damage dealt by this feature if
your target is not undead.
Necrotic Shroud
Starting at 10th level, you can shroud yourself in dark,
necrotic energy that alters your physicality on a fundamental
level. You can change your creature type from humanoid to
undead for up to 8 hours. While undead, you are immune to
poison, disease, and exhaustion. If you are poisoned,
diseased, or take points of exhaustion when you enter the
necrotic shroud, the effect is suspended for the duration of
this feature. While this is active, you are considered undead
for features that detect undead such as a paladin’s divine
sense. You must complete a long rest before you can use this
feature again.
Necromantic Bolster
Starting at 14th level, whenever you regain hit points from a
feature that deals necrotic damage, you gain half of the hit
points you heal as temporary hit points.
Study of Shields
A student of shields emits energy from either the armor they
wear, a shield they carry, or some other piece of armor on
their person. Their reason behind learning magic is to keep
themselves and others safe from harm, and they hold that
very ideal close to heart. To undertake the Study of Shields,
you undergo rigorous study of Abjuration magic and how it is
used & applied in spells cast. Spells like shield and blade
ward are a couple of examples of your fascination. You learn
aspects of these distinct spells & evoke a desired effect from
their nature upon yourself when you need it.

that isn't Psychic damage you can spend 1 mana point &
reduce the amount of damage you take by 2d6 + your
Intelligence modifier as a reaction. At later levels when you
can spend more mana points, each additional mana point
spent increases the damage reduced by an additional 2d6.
You may use this feature while other mana features are
active.
Enhanced Abjure
Starting at 6th level, you can add half your Spellknight level to
the damage reduced when you use your Abjure feature.
Guardian
Starting at 6th level, if you see a creature take damage within
30 feet of you, you can use your Abjure feature as a reaction
to reduce the damage they take.
Protector's Grace
Beginning at 10th level, you have advantage on saving throws
against being charmed & frightened. Additionally, if you are
commanded to attack an ally, you may make an additional
saving throw for each command issued.
Mana Feature: Deflect
Beginning at 14th level, you can reduce deadly blows to
harmlessness. As a reaction, for 3 mana points you can make
an Intelligence Check to try and reduce the damage taken by
a creature within 30 feet of you to 0. The DC is equal to 15 or
half of the damage taken, whichever total is higher. You can
add your proficiency bonus to this check. On a success, the
target takes no damage. On a failure, you reduce the damage
dealt by 6d6. You have three uses of this feature & you regain
one expended use after completing a long rest. At 17th level,
you can spend 4 mana points to make the same check as a
reaction, but the DC is decreased by 5. You may use this
feature while other mana features are active.
