Additionally once on each of the imbued creature's turns when it hits with a weapon attack, the target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1d4 fire damage at the start of its next turn. The creature repeats the save at the end of its turn, ending the effect on a success.

When you roll initiative, you may immediately imbue one creature with a Force you know. This does not require an action or bonus action.

Level 3: Rallying Surge

When you use Action Surge, you may choose one ally within 30 feet.

That ally can immediately use their reaction to make one weapon attack or move up to half their speed without provoking opportunity attacks.

If that ally is imbued with one of your Forces, they can instead immediately take the Attack action (one attack only).

Level 7: Arcane Analysis

You have learned to read magical energies in combat.

Whenever a creature takes damage from one of your Forces for the first time, you learn:

• Resistances
• Immunities
• Vulnerabilities

Additionally...

Once per turn when a creature under one of your Forces damages an enemy, you may change that Force's damage type to another Force you know until the start of your next turn.

Level 10: Refined Force

Each Force gains an additional property.

Fire

• Burning creatures can't benefit from invisibility and the fire damage increases to 1d8 fire damage per turn. A creature can only be affected by one instance of this burning effect at a time.

Frost

• If a creature already has its speed reduced by Frost Force and is hit again, its speed becomes 0 until the start of its next turn. Creatures whose speed becomes 0 are restrained until the start of their next turn.

Gale

• Opportunity attacks against the imbued creature are made with disadvantage. Additionally the movement increases by an additional 5 feet

Life

• One Ally within 5 feet also gains the temporary HP you gain. If they already have Temp HP that are higher than the Temp HP they would gain from this effect you gain half those Temp HP additionally to the Temp HP you already get.

Funereal

• A creature prevented from regaining hit points also has disadvantage on the next Constitution saving throw it makes before the start of your next turn.
  
  Additionally you can increase your STR or DEX by 1

 

Level 10: Force Transference

Your mastery over magical armaments allows you to redirect enchantments as the battle evolves.

 

As a bonus action, you may move one Force Imbuement you created from one willing creature to another willing creature you can see within 60 feet. The duration of the imbuement remains unchanged.

Additionally, whenever an imbued creature is reduced to 0 hit points, you may use your reaction to immediately transfer its Force to another willing creature within 30 feet.

On top of that when a creature under one of your Forces hits a creature that is resistant or immune to that Force's damage type, you may immediately change that Force into another Force you know without using a bonus action.

This transformation regains it's timer back to the full minute.

Level 15: Elemental Exploitation

Your mastery over magical armaments allows you to exploit an enemy's elemental weaknesses.

When a creature imbued by one of your Forces deals Force damage to a target that has vulnerability to that damage type, the Force damage is maximized.

In addition, the Force damage dealt by your Forces ignores resistance to its damage type.

On top of that you can turn now imbue yourself and allies with 2 Force imbuments.

Whenever a creature under two Forces hits with a weapon attack, both secondary effects trigger, even if they normally only trigger once per turn.

 

Level 18: Master Armamentalist

Once per long rest, as a bonus action, every creature of your choice within 30 feet becomes imbued with every Force you know for 1 minute.

While under this effect:

• they gain every secondary Force benefit simultaneously
• their Force damage becomes 2d12
• whenever they hit a creature, they can choose up to 3 secondary effects to trigger at the same time.
