Battlemage

While most practitioners of the arcane prefer giving a wide birth to the fray, you thrive in it. Your training incorporated the use of destructive magic at close quarters, granting you the following benefits:

• Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your ranged spell attack rolls.
• When you use the Attack action and attack with a one-handed weapon, you can use a bonus action to cast a cantrip that requires an attack roll.
• You learn one cantrip suited for close-quarters combat. Choose from the following list: Blade Ward, Booming Blade, Green-Flame Blade, Lightning Lure, Primal Savagery, Shocking Grasp, Sword Burst, Thorn Whip, Thunderclap, True Strike, or Word of Radiance. Use the spellcasting modifier of your class for this cantrip, which is considered a class-appropriate cantrip for you, and does not count against the number of cantrips you know.
