Hoping someone might be able to help me with some ideas to port the Jade Phoenix Mage class from ToB from 3.5 to 5e.
So far thinking to make it a sorc subclass and making the arcane strike equivalent to divine smite. Metamagic strikes is taken care of by the sorc class and sorcery points. Any ideas on the rest of stances/fluff that the class has?
Here are some really quick thoughts for a sorc subclass.
1: Mystic Phoenix Stance - maybe something similar to bladesinger
1: Bonus Profs - 1 melee weapon, light armor, history
6: Arcane Wrath - ala divine smite
14: Quickening Strike - when you use your action to make a melee attack you can use a bonus action to cast a spell with a casting time of one action.
18: Emerald Immolation - Not sure how powerful this should be, the only precedent for sorcerer damage here is Wild Magic’s Spell Bombardment, which only adds an extra die of damage if you roll the highest number.
A Warlock w/ new invocations or Paladin chassis might offer more freedom if you don’t mind divorcing yourself from lore.

Thanks Acme! Will Check blade singer out and brew something up for the stance.
I'm tempted to leave it at 20d6 but make it fire only and make it a very long recharge time. i.e a week.
