Rune Smith

Like your Rune Knight siblings, you enlist the aid of enchanted symbols. However, even though you can only place these runes on your weapons, these weapons can hold as many runes as you see fit. Smiths that continue their training even find themselves becoming one with their weapons, being able to attack things that are farther away.

Bonus Proficiencies

When you adopt this martial archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency with smith's tools. If you already have this proficiency, you gain proficiency with one other type of artisan's tools of your choice.

Rune Weaver

When you adopt this martial archetype at 3rd level, you learn to enhance your weapons with magical sigils and runes. You learn two runes of your choice, from among the runes described below, and each time you gain a level in this class, you can replace one rune you know with a different one from this feature. When you reach certain levels in this class, you learn additional runes, as shown in the Runes Known table.

Whenever you finish a long rest, you can touch a melee weapon and infuse it with runic magic, and inscribe a number runes onto the blade equal to the number of runes you know each of which must be a different rune.

Fighter Level	Runes Known
3rd	2
7th	3

15th	5

 

The following runes are available to you when you learn a rune. If a rune has a level requirement, you must be at least that level in this class to learn the rune. If a rune requires a saving throw, your Rune Magic save DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier.

Rune of Protection

Rune of Purity
