 The Arcane Battlemage is a wizard tradition that merges the forces of arcane magic with martial prowess. These spellcasters seamlessly blend swordplay with the ancient techniques of Bladesinging, channeling their innate magical abilities to become formidable warriors on the battlefield. Through their extensive training, they have unlocked the secrets of combining martial and magical arts, forging a path that unleashes devastating strikes and enhances their combat capabilities.

Arcane Weaponry

2nd-level Arcane Battlemage feature

Drawing upon your mastery of the arcane, you gain proficiency with martial weapons, light armor, and a tool of your choice. With your deep understanding of magic, you can channel the power of your intelligence into your weapon strikes. Whether wielding a single weapon or engaging in the art of two-weapon fighting, you can use your Intelligence modifier instead of Strength or Dexterity for both attack and damage rolls. This allows your magical aptitude to guide your strikes with precision, ensuring that each blow carries the full force of your combined martial and arcane abilities. Embracing the Arcane Weapon Mastery, you become a formidable Arcane Battlemage, seamlessly blending martial skill and the arcane arts.

 

Arcane Empowerment

2nd-level Arcane Battlemage feature

By tapping into the wellspring of arcane energies, you infuse yourself with enhanced combat abilities. As long as you are not wearing medium or heavy armor or wielding a shield, you can unleash this potent technique, channeling arcane energies to bolster your martial prowess as a bonus action. The Arcane Empowerment grants you extraordinary benefits for 1 minute:

  • Your exceptional focus and control allow you to add your Intelligence modifier to your Armor Class (AC), bolstering your defense.
  • Your walking speed increases by 10 feet., enabling you to move swiftly across the battlefield.
  • Through your honed reflexes, you gain advantage on Dexterity saving throws, helping you mitigate the effects of spells.
  • You gain a bonus to any Constitution saving throw you make to maintain your concentration on a spell. The bonus equals your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1).

You can employ the Arcane Empowerment a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, regaining all expended uses after completing a long rest.

Arcane Tome of Devouring

2nd-level Arcane Battlemage feature

You possess a mystical spellbook known as the Arcane Tome of Devouring, forever bound to your soul. This enchanted book possesses an extraordinary ability to consume and assimilate other spellbooks, books, and spell scrolls, hungrily devouring their contents within its pages. As it devours a magical spellbook, book, or spell scroll, the Arcane Tome of Devouring not only absorbs its knowledge but also assimilates its arcane properties and effects, becoming a more powerful spellcasting focus.

With a swift bonus action, you can unfurl the pages of the Arcane Tome of Devouring, directing its insatiable hunger towards a spellbook, book, or spell scroll within 5 feet of you. The targeted text is drawn into the tome's depths, vanishing from existence in its original form. Once devoured, the knowledge contained within becomes readily accessible to you.

If the devoured spellbook possesses magical properties, the Arcane Tome of Devouring greedily absorbs them as well. Through this ravenous act, the tome inherits the bestowed abilities and effects. For instance, should you devour a book that grants the power to cast a specific spell once per day, the Arcane Tome of Devouring, too, gains the ability to cast that spell once per day.

Furthermore, in the unfortunate event that the Arcane Tome of Devouring is lost or stolen, you possess the ability to summon it back through a ritual during a short or long rest. By communing with the depths of your soul and focusing your will, you can draw forth the tome, returning it to your possession once again. When the spellbook is retrieved this way, the old book (if it still exists) disappears, almost as if it consumes itself, appearing next to you in pristine condition with all it's spells fully intact.

Arcane Flurry

6th-level Arcane Battlemage feature

The Arcane Flurry feature represents the pinnacle of an Arcane Battlemage's mastery in both martial and magical arts. At this level, their combat prowess reaches new heights as they gain the ability to make two rapid attacks instead of one when taking the Attack action. This unparalleled speed and precision in their strikes showcase their exceptional combat skills.

Furthermore, when their Arcane Empowerment is active, the Arcane Battlemage can seamlessly integrate magic into their onslaught, allowing them to use their bonus action to unleash a devastating melee cantrip instead of making a regular off-hand attack during two-weapon fighting. This unique ability enables them to channel their arcane energies into their weapon strikes, delivering powerful blows that are enhanced by the might of their spells. The Arcane Flurry, in combination with Arcane Empowerment, becomes a testament to their relentless dedication and unyielding pursuit of excellence, enabling them to reshape the battlefield with their relentless and devastating Arcane Flurry.

Arcane Prowess

6th-Level Arcane Battlemage feature

Arcane Prowess represents the culmination of your mastery in both arcane and martial disciplines. Once acquired, you gain the remarkable ability to make melee attacks without provoking opportunity attacks from the targeted creature, irrespective of the attack's outcome. This extraordinary feat grants you unparalleled mobility and precision in combat. Furthermore, your command over arcane forces grants you the exceptional skill of wielding non-light one-handed melee weapons in two hands with effortless grace. With Arcane Prowess, your combat abilities reach new heights as you unleash devastating strikes with unmatched strength and swiftness. This fusion of arcane might and battle prowess makes you an unmatched force on the battlefield, embodying the epitome of an Arcane Battlemage.

Arcane Fortitude

10th-level Arcane Battlemage feature

Your deep connection to arcane energies fortifies your physical being, rendering your maximum hit points impervious to reduction. This enhancement ensures that your body remains resilient, shielding you from the effects of spells, abilities, or any other sources that might attempt to diminish your vitality.

Arcane Resilience

10th-level Arcane Battlemage feature

You have honed your mastery of the arcane arts to a remarkable degree, granting you exceptional defensive capabilities. While the Shield spell is active after casting it as a reaction in response to being hit by an attack, you not only create a protective barrier but also gain damage resistance until the start of your next turn. This potent defense showcases your ability to manipulate magical forces and reinforces your resilience against incoming assaults.

Furthermore, while your Arcane Empowerment is active, your profound connection to arcane energies allows you to mitigate the effects of failed saving throws. If you fail a saving throw that would normally cause you to take damage, you instead take only half of the damage until the start of your next turn. This extraordinary control over magical forces shields you from the full brunt of harmful effects, further solidifying your position as a resilient and indomitable force on the battlefield.

You can utilize the defensive benefits of either of these features a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier per long rest, representing your tactical command over arcane defenses and your ability to adapt to various threats.

Arcane Annihilation

14th-level Arcane Battlemage feature

Your connection to both magic and melee reaches its pinnacle, empowering your strikes with unparalleled might. While channeling the power of Arcane Annihilation, you can add your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1) to the damage of your melee weapon attacks. This devastating bonus damage applies to each successful melee weapon attack you make, magnifying the potency of your strikes and showcasing your mastery of combining martial and arcane powers.

As an Arcane Battlemage, your expertise in martial and magical arts culminates in the unleashed fury of Arcane Annihilation. At this pinnacle of your abilities, you can unleash a relentless barrage of strikes, pushing the limits of speed and precision. When you take the Attack action on your turn, you can execute three rapid attacks instead of the usual two. Each strike resonates with the raw arcane energy coursing through your veins, delivering devastating blows that leave your enemies reeling. This enhanced version of Arcane Annihilation showcases your unmatched combat prowess, overwhelming opponents with an unyielding torrent of swordplay and magic. With Arcane Annihilation, you become an unstoppable force on the battlefield, an embodiment of unparalleled mastery in both martial and arcane arts.

Arcane Rejuvenation

14th-level Arcane Battlemage feature

As an Arcane Battlemage, your connection to the arcane fortifies your body, mending your wounds in the heat of battle. At the start of each of your turns in combat, you regain hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier if you are below half your hit point maximum. If you are at or above half your hit point maximum, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier instead. This feature showcases your ability to harness the arcane for protection and rejuvenation, continually refreshing your vitality during combat.
