Quick Build

You can make a Spellblade quickly by following these suggestions.

If you wish to follow the Tradition of a Battlemage or Aethersword, put your highest score in Intelligence, and your second and third highest scores in Dexterity and Constitution respectively. If you wish to follow the Tradition of the Guardian, put your highest score in Strength, followed by Constitution, and then Intelligence. If you wish to follow the path of the Swiftblade or Spellshot, put your highest score in Dexterity, followed by Intelligence, and then Constitution.

Choose a background that reflects your years of hard effort and study to master this unique route, preferably one that gives a physical and mental skill to represent your twin paths of mastery.

When you gain cantrips at 2nd level, you can select either combat or utility options - you'll gain additional options when you reach 5th level and can use them with your Spellstrike, so you don't need to plan what you want to use with it at 2nd level.

Class Features

• Hit Dice: 1d8 per Spellblade level
• Hit Points at 1st: Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier
• Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d8 (or 5) + your Constitution modifier per Spellblade level after 1st

Arcane Surge

Your affinity for magic gives you a pool of Arcane Surges. Once during your turn, you can expend a use of Arcane Surge to do any of the following:

• Cast detect magic without expending a spell slot.
• Gain advantage on an attack roll (no action required).
• Add your Intelligence modifier to a Strength or Dexterity ability check (no action required).
• Teleport up 5 feet to an unoccupied space you can see (no action required). This distance increases by 5 feet at 5th (10 feet), 9th (15 feet), 13th (20 feet), and 17th (25 feet) levels.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. You can regain expended uses when you complete a short or long rest. As you level, you may gain additional uses for your Arcane Surges, but can still only spend a single use of Arcane Surge a turn.

Magic Trick

Additionally at 1st level , you learn one cantrip of your choice from the Spellblade class list. Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for this cantrip.

Spellcasting

As part of your study of magic, you gain the ability to cast spells at 2nd level. The spells you learn are limited in scope, primarily concerned with enhancing your abilities and devastating your foes.

Spellstrike

Starting at 2nd level, you can infuse spells into your weapon. As a bonus action, you can cast a 1st level or higher Spellblade spell with a casting time of 1 action in a special way, infusing it into a melee weapon instead of having it immediately take effect. The next time you make a melee attack with that weapon before the end of your turn, the spell is cast against the target of the attack. The spell fizzles and fails to cast if you cast another spell before attacking.

Spellstrike's interaction with the spell mechanics is determined by the spell's effect:

• If the spell requires an attack roll (melee or ranged) it automatically hits the target if the weapon attack hits and misses the target if the weapon attack misses.
• If the spell has a saving throw, it automatically deals damage as if they failed saving throw against the spell on hit, but if it has any effects besides dealing damage, the target makes the save against those effects as normal for being targeted by the spell (regardless if the attack hits or misses). If a spell does half damage to targets that pass their save, they take half damage on a missed attack, treating it as if they had passed their saving throw. If a spell always hits (such as magic missile), the spell hits regardless if you hit or miss your attack.
• If the spell has an area of effect, that area of effect must include the space the target of the Spellstrike is in, be placed such that one one edge of it is within the range of your weapon, and otherwise follows the rules of the spell regarding placement and range. Other creatures caught in the area of effect treat the spell as if you had cast it normally. The target is not affected by the spell again (having already resolved as part of the attack).

Spells that have multiple attack rolls (such as scorching ray or crackle^K) tie the outcome of only the first attack roll to the melee weapon attack. You resolve all subsequent attack rolls of the spell as if you had cast the spell, but can ignore the disadvantage on ranged attack rolls from being within 5 feet of hostile creatures when doing so.

You can only cast spells that are on the Spellblade class list using Spellstrike, and can only cast them at a level you can cast them as a Spellblade, though you can use any spell slot you have available to cast the spell.

Arcane Deflection

At 2nd level, you learn the shield spell, incorporating it into your Aegis, allowing you to cast it without components, and allowing you to cast it without expending a spell slot once, after which you must expend a spell slot as normal until you complete a short or long rest.

Aegis

Additionally at 2nd level, you start to form a magical Aegis that enhances your physical powers with magical powers, blending them together. You can select one 1st level Aegis effect (listed at the end of the class) and gain the effects.

When you complete a long rest, you can change your selected 1st level Aegis effect or further boost your Aegis by sacrificing spell slots, granting magical empowerments that last until you complete your next long rest. When you do so, select an additional Aegis Effect (listed at the end of the class document) and expend the listed level of spell slot.

You can expend a maximum number of spell levels this way equal to your Spellblade level divided by four (rounded up).

Spellblade Technique

When you reach 3rd level, you select a specialization for your powers. You can choose from the Battlemage, Aether Blade, Guardian, Mage Hunter, Swiftblade, or Spellshot techniques, each of which grants you additional features.

Your choice grants you features at 3rd level, and again at 7th, 15th, and 20th level.

Ability Score Improvement

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can’t increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Empowered Strike

Beginning at 5th level, you can use cantrips on the Spellblade class list with your Spellstrike feature.

You learn 2 additional cantrips of your choice, selecting the options from the Spellblade cantrip list, and an additional cantrip at 9th, 13th, and 17th level (these additional cantrips are included on the Spellblade table).

Arcane Recuperation

Starting at 6th level, you gain the ability to regain some of your magical energy through a quick focused meditation. When you finish a short rest, you regain some of your expended spell slots. The spell slots can have a combined level that is equal to or less than one third of your Spellblade level (rounded down). You can't use this feature again until you finish a long rest.

Additionally, at any time, as a bonus action you can expend a spell slot to regain Arcane Surges equal to the level of spell slots spent.

Magical Warding

Additionally at 6th level, you gain proficiency in your choice of Wisdom or Charisma saving throws, and you automatically succeed on saving throws against your own spells.

Archetypal Magic

At 10th level, you can cast each of the spells granted by your Spellblade technique without expending a spell slot once. After you cast a spell that way, you cannot cast it that way again until you complete a long rest.

Expanded Aegis

Starting at 10th level, when you finish a long rest you can select an additional 1st Level Aegis Effect to gain the benefit of without expending a spell slot. This effect lasts until you complete a long rest, at which time you can select a new effect.

At 14th level, you can additionally select one 2nd level Aegis Effect this way, and at 18th level, you can additionally select one 3rd level Aegis effect this way.

Splash Damage

Beginning at 11th level, when you hit a creature with Spellstrike, the target and creatures of your choice within 5 feet of the target that would be hit by the same attack roll take 1d8 additional force damage. On a miss, the target takes half as much damage, and nearby creatures take no damage (even if the attack roll would have hit them).

Blast Zone Immunity

Starting at 11th level, you are immune to the area of effect of your own spells. You take no damage from them, and ignore all other affects unless you choose to be affected.

Surging Focus

Starting at 14th level, if you fail a Constitution saving throw to maintain concentration on a spell, you can spend an Arcane Surge to succeed instead.

Magical Sensitivity

Additionally at 14th level, you learn the detect magic spell, and it does not count against your spells known, and the detect magic spell no longer requires concentration for you.

For the duration of detect magic, you gain proficiency in the Arcana skill. If you are already proficient in the Arcana skill, for the duration you gain expertise, allowing you to add double your proficiency bonus to ability checks made using the Arcana skill.

Blast Zone Control

At 18th level, when use Spellstrike to cast a spell that affects an area of effect, you can expend a use of your Arcane Surge expand the effect of your Blast Zone Immunity to a number of allies equal to your Intelligence modifier. When used this way, it only protects your allies until the start of your next turn, at which point they go back to being affected by any ongoing effects of a spell.

Spellblade Technique

Aether Blade Technique

Aether Blade Spellblades make use of their magical techniques to create a weapon of pure arcane power, with most of their abilities revolving around mastering the use of this weapon.

Guardian Technique

Specializing in defending their allies, spell blades
following this technique make broad use of
abjuration and self-enhancing magics, often
specializing more toward their physical
skills. They place themselves at the
front of combat, but are a highly
mobile line of defense.

Spellshot

The lone option able to use their Spellstrike at range,
the Spellshot gets a lot of freedom in position and target selection, able to flex their powers across the battlefield raining death from afar, and ever farther
their talent grows.

Spellblade Aegis

The level listed for an Aegis spell is the level of spell slot sacrificed to gain the feature. A spell slot sacrificed for an Aegis feature cannot be regained until the Aegis Spell effect is removed during a long rest. You can select any Aegis feature from the list, up to the maximum number of total spell slot levels you can spend on this feature.

You can have a maximum number of spell slot levels sacrificed equal to the highest slot you have from the Spellblade class. You can only sacrifice spell slots you have, and have gained from the Spellblade class.

Spellblade Feats

Changelog 0.1

Changelog 0.2

Changelog 0.3

Changelog 0.8

• Snark removed.
• Blah blah added.
• Tweaked wording on Empowered Spellstrike allow using cantrips gained outside the class, as long as they are on the Spellblade list.
• Aether Blade's Empowering Surge now lets you reroll damage dice from your Aether Blade until the end of your turn as well, buffing it somewhat.
• You no longer need to "know" Aegis effects. That was a left over from previous editions that worked in a somewhat different way.
• Shockwave Aegis Effect added.
• Arcane Style Aegis Effect cost increased to a 2nd level spell.
• Runic Strength moved down to requiring a 4th level spell slot.
• Stone Aegis added as a 5th level effect.
• Resilient Aegis added as a 5th level effect.

Changelog 0.8.1

• All minor buffs.
• Added Magic Trick at 1st level (increasing cantrips known by 1, but getting the first at 1st level). You no longer learn a new cantrip at 17th level, so you still cap out at 7 total cantrips known, just shifted forward.
• The area of effect placement rules on Spellstrike have been updated - somewhat buffed and streamlined. Rules are now just as follows: the area of effect must include the target, and must be within range of the weapon you are using, but otherwise allow you to place it freely. This is a buff.
• Arcane Recuperation is now a miniature version of Arcane Recovery. The feature got left a little anemic after Arcane Surge was made short rest, and Spellblades could use more short rest recovery. Now get back 1/3 of your level in spell slots in on a short rest (once per long rest, just like Arcane Recovery).
• Blast Zone Immunity lowered to 11th level - this is significantly less powerful with the Area of Effect changes, but also less necessary. This feature is now more of a convenience to allow you backblast yourself in some cases.
• Innate Aegis added at 18th level. This is a more substantial feature that helps beef up the late game of a Spellblade.
• Added the following Kibbles spells to the Spellblade list: Force Bolt, Illusionary Dart, Entomb, Melting Glob, Prismatic Flash, Crescent Wind Slash, and Seismic Wave.
• Added the following SRD spells to the Spellblade list: Enhance Ability, See Invisible, Shatter, Spiderclimb, Stinking Cloud.

Changelog 0.9

• Innate Aegis now is gained at 10th level, and scales up to being the same as it was at 18th level previously at 18th level. This is a small buff in Tier 3 and 4.
• Splash Damage added at 18th level. This is a pretty small effect, but helps make up for only having 1 attack.
• Blade Channel Aegis Effect added.
• Many spells added to the Spellblade list (synced to casting compendium).

Changelog 0.9a

• Editing pass by Gabriel Russell

Changelog 1.0

• The shield spell granted by Aegis broken out into its own feature (Arcane Deflection).
• Aegis now grants an free 1st level Aegis effect at level 2 when you get it; more effects are still granted at 10, 14, and 18.
• Splash Damage and Improved Spellstrike merged, and somewhat reworked.
• Blast Zone Control added at 18th level (replacing the Splash damage that was moved down to 11.
