Carian Knight

Often the guards, apprentices, or servants of powerful wizard noble households, Carian Knights are endowed with the ability to connect with the weave of magic to enhance their already prodigious martial prowess. Their number once only counted in the 20s, but as the Age of the Ertree has ended and the power structure in the Lands Between has shifted, the mage houses that are left now to vie for power. In this vacuum, various orders of Carian Knights have reemerged to fiercely protect or slay those who thought them these Carian Sorceries. 

Whether it be summoning massive weapon constructs to end their enemies rightly or imbuing themselves with protective magics to shrug off powerful arcane effects, the Carian Knight is always equipped to end any battle with a swish and flick of their arcane focus. 

Carian Lore

When you reach 3rd level, you've learned to augment your martial prowess with Carian Sorceries. You can channel powerful blade projections through arcane focuses like Wands, Rods, and Staves (Quarterstaffs and Clubs count as these foci). During your attack action, you may cast Carian Shredder, summoning an energy sword through your focus and making an attack roll using your Carian Attack Modifier. These attacks count as magical and deal your Carian Sorcery Die plus your Intelligence modifier as force damage on hit. You can use Carian Shredder as many times as you have the Extra Attack feature. This damage increases with your Carian Sorceries, at fighter levels 7 and 15. 

In addition, you choose to gain proficiency in either the Arcana or the History skill and can supersede the attuning requirements of any Wand, Rod, or Staff you use as an arcane focus. 

Carian Sorceries

At 3rd level, you learn to channel magic through your arcane focus to enhance your skill in battle. When you gain this feature, you learn two Carian Sorcery options of your choice (see "Carian Sorcery Options" below).

You can cast a Carian Sorcery based on the options you have selected. You must be holding your arcane focus to use Carian Sorceries. You can use Carian Sorceries a number of times equal to your Intelligence Modifier plus 1 before a short or long rest. You regain all of your expended uses when you finish a long rest and only half (rounded down) when you finish a short rest. Carian Sorceries count as spells and magic effects and the options you choose can be changed during a long rest.

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for Carian Sorceries since you've learned these spells through your study at Raya Lucaria. You use your Intelligence whenever a sorcery refers to your sorcery-casting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Carian Sorcery you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

Carian Sorcery save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Carian Sorcery attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier

Carian Sorcery Die = d6 at level 3, d8 at level 7, d10 at level 15

You gain an additional Carian Sorcery option of your choice when you reach certain levels in this class: 7th, 10th, 15th, and 18th level. Each option also improves when you become a 7th and 15th level fighter. 

Scholar's Armament

At 7th level, you gain the ability to infuse your weapons with magic. Whenever you attack with a nonmagical weapon you can make it magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity to nonmagical attacks and damage.

In addition, While holding your arcane focus you can use an Action to enhance a melee weapon or shield in your other hand for 10 minutes.

Enhanced melee weapons gain additional force damage equal to your Intelligence Modifier and enhanced shields have their AC benefit increased by +1.

Carian Retaliation

At 10th level, you have learned to redirect magical force back at the caster. When you are the target of a spell attack or spell save you can use your reaction to cause that attack to subtract your Carian Sorcery Die OR add this die to your saving throw. If the attack misses you succeed in your saving throw you send 3 magical glintblades back at the caster.  Each glintblade automatically hits and does 1 Carian Sorcery Die of force damage and causes the caster to roll Concentration Checks at disadvantage until the end of the current turn. 

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Lucidity

Starting at 15th level, you learn that Carian Knight never wavers. As an action, you can weave abjuration magic around you and use a Carian Sorcery Slot to end a negative magical effect on yourself. Using this ability affectively lets you cast either Greater or Lesser Restoration on yourself without spell components if the effect that you have succumbed to is magical. 

In addition, your Carian Sorcery is available whenever the battle starts. If you roll initiative and have no uses of Carian Sorcery remaining, you regain one use of it.

Terra Magica

At level 18 you have unlocked a powerful glyph that rends the magical defenses of your enemies. Using a bonus action, you cast a sigil on the ground at your feet. This sigil has a 30-foot radius and any creature of your choice within it must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or take extra force damage equal to your Intelligence modifier when affected by any of your Carian Sorceries, Spell Attacks, or damaging Magical Effects until the start of their next turn. If a creature starts their turn or reenters your sigil they must make the Wisdom saving throw again. This sigil lasts for 1 minute.

You regain this feature after completing a long rest.

Carian Sorcery Options

 The Carian Sorcery feature lets you choose options for it at certain levels. The options are presented here in alphabetical order. They are all magical effects.

Carian Grandeur

Raise your arcane focus aloft as you conjure a magical greatsword and bring it down on a foe for massive damage. As an action, make an attack at advantage using your Carian Sorcery attack modifier, on hit deal 2d6 force damage, and the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be Stunned until the end of its next turn. Creatures within 5 feet of the enemy hit must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take half the amount of force damage and be pushed back 10 feet. On a success, they take no damage and are not pushed 10 feet back. Increase the number of damage dice rolled for this attack by how many times you have the Extra Attack feature (max 4.).

You launch an energy bolt that deals 1d6 + your intelligence modifier of force damage and if the target is Large or smaller, it must make a Strength saving throw against your Carian Sorcery DC. On a failed save, you push the target up to 15 feet away from you. You can fire as many greatbow bolts as you have the Extra Attack feature (max of 4).
