Base Class: Sorcerer
In the tapestry of magic and steel, the Swordweaver Sorcerer emerges as a masterful blend of martial prowess and arcane finesse. Wielding the Etherforged Blade, a magically summoned longsword, these sorcerers command the very essence of their charisma to shape both weapon and destiny.
At their core, Swordweaver Sorcerers learn to manipulate the arcane forces coursing through their veins to enhance the capabilities of their Etherforged Blade. From the early mastery of this magical longsword to the ethereal ascendance in later levels, these sorcerers become a force to be reckoned with, seamlessly blending martial skill and sorcerous might.
Etherforged Blade
At 1st level, you have the ability to create a special longsword known as an Etherforged Blade. As a bonus action, you can summon or dismiss this blade. The Etherforged Blade is an ethereal longsword with the versatile property that deals 1d8 (1d10) slashing damage. It has the following properties:
- The blade is considered magical for the purpose of overcoming resistances and immunities.
- You are proficient with this weapon.
- You can use your Charisma modifier instead of Strength for attack and damage rolls with this weapon.
Arcane Edge
At 6th level, your Etherforged Blade gains an additional property:
- You can attack twice, instead of once, when you take the attack action on your turn with your Etherforged Blade.
Additionally, When you hit a creature with the Etherforged Blade, you can expend 1 sorcery point to deal an additional 1d6 force damage. This extra damage increases to 2d6 at 14th level and 3d6 at 18th level,
Weave of Protection
At 14th level, Your mastery over the Etherforged Blade grants you enhanced defenses. While you are wielding the Etherforged Blade and not wielding any other weapons or a shield, you gain a +2 bonus to your AC.
Additionally, when you are hit by a melee attack while wielding the Etherforged Blade, you can use your reaction to parry the attack. You may spend 2 sorcery points to roll a d8 + your Charisma modifier and reduce the damage dealt by the number rolled. You can spend additional sorcery points; for each additional sorcery point spent, roll an additional d8. The cumulative total of these rolls determines the reduction in damage.
Etherforged Ascendance
At 18th level, your connection to the Etherforged Blade reaches its zenith, granting you unparalleled mastery over both blade and magic. Your Etherforged Blade gains additional properties:
- It scores a critical hit on a roll of 18-20.
As an action, you can enter an Etherforged Ascendance for 1 minute. During this time:
- Melee spell attacks made with your Etherforge Blade have advantage
- You can use a bonus action to toss your Etherforged Blade into the air and command it. When you do so, the sword begins to hover, flies up to 30 feet and cannot be more than 30 feet away from you, and attacks one creature of your choice within 5 feet of it.
This feature can only be used once per long rest.
