Primordial Warrior

Primordial Warriors are formidable foes, as they have learned to harness ancient energies of the world to strengthen their blows. They gain this power through study and practice, similarly to eldritch knights. However, instead of using pure magic, they specialize in using the elemental energies of the world to augment their style of fighting.

Bonus Proficiencies

You gain proficiency with smith’s tools, and you learn to speak, read, and write Primordial.

Elemental Initiate

When you reach 3rd level, you choose one of these three elements: Fire, ice, or lightning. This will be used by features you gain later. During a long rest, you can change the element you chose. Doing so changes any features you had from the previous element to your current element.

 

Additionally, You learn one cantrip of your choice from the Artificer spell list or the Wizard spell list, and you learn one 1st-level spell of your choice from that list. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for these spells. You can cast the 1st-level spell without a spell slot, and you must finish a short or long rest before you can cast it in this way again. You can end your infusion on one of your weapons and regain the ability to cast the spell.
