Hand of the Lord

Starting at 7th level your squire becomes an invaluable asset on the battlefield. As long as your squire is within 10 feet of you it gains the following abilities.

: Defend the Lord- When a creature the squire can see attacks you and your squire is within 5 feet of you, it can use its reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack roll. The squire must be wielding a shield to use this ability.

: Coupe de Grace- The squire quickly dispatches fallen foes. When the squire makes a melee attack against a prone target that is within 10 feet of you, if the attack hits it, it is automatically a critical hit. You may reroll the damage dice and use either total.

Battle - Hardened Bond

Masterful Service

Starting at 18th level, when the squire uses the help action in combat, all attack rolls against any targets within 10 feet of the squire are made with advantage until the squires next turn.

War Magic

Eldritch Strike

At 10th level, you learn how to make your weapon strikes undercut a creature’s resistance to your spells. When you hit a creature with a weapon attack, that creature has disadvantage on the next saving throw it makes against a spell you cast before the end of your next turn.

Arcane Charge
