D83's Arcane Warrior

ARCANE WARRIOR CLASS DESCRIPTION:

Often mistaken for eldritch knights, these combatants differ from those in a few ways. Firstly, they focus an equal amount on spellcasting as they do on melee, and/or ranged combat. Secondly, they learn to cast their spells quicker, by only releasing half the amount of energy with each spell, and can utilize powerful combat moves to aid them in battle. And lastly, arcane warriors are often more learned than their (somewhat) more combat-focused fighter counterparts.

NOTABLE CLASS FEATURES:

• []All spells and cantrips learned from the arcane warrior leveling tree are cast with a 'Bonus Action'. Hence, they only deal half the amount of damage, only have half the range, and only half the amount of turns for conditions.

  []Can use 'Combat Moves' that use both an 'Action' and a 'Bonus Action'. They deal additional damage and mostly apply conditions.

  []Can use 'Combat Moves' that use only a 'Bonus Action'. For instance; Fast Feet (melee attackers have disadvantage against the caster).

  []Their spellcasting is Intelligence-based.

  []Their spells are 'Always Prepared'.

  []Can't learn spells from scrolls.

  []A weapon they've made into their 'Arcane Weapon' (Melee and/or Ranged) uses their spellcasting ability (INT) for attack rolls and damage.
