Magus Mobile Guard

The archetypal Magus Mobile Guard are wayfaring fighters who incorporate magic, albeit at an elementary level, into their skillset. To a Magus Mobile Guard, magic is simply a supporting resource whilst their arms and wit are their most reliable faculties. This is a homebrew Fighter sub-class that revises existing features from official Fighter sub-classes.

Pursuant of Magic

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain the feat "Magic Initiate" or "Ritual Caster". You can only choose one.

Natural Explorer

When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you become particularly familiar with one type of natural environment and are adept at traveling and surviving in such regions. Choose one type of favoured terrain: arctic, coast, desert, forest, grassland, mountain, swamp, or the Underdark. You cannot choose additional favoured terrain types at higher levels.

Only while traversing your favoured terrain, you gain the following benefits:

• You have advantage on your Initiative rolls.
• Difficult terrain doesn't slow you, or your group, down.
• Your group can't become lost, except by magical means.
• Even when you are engaged in another activity while traveling (such as foraging, navigating, or tracking), you remain alert to danger.
• When you forage, you can find twice as much food and water (where possible) as you normally would.
• You have advantage on your Animal Handling and Survival skill checks.
