Magus Class Mod

This is a class mod that adds the Magus arcane half caster class to BG3. The class focuses on delivering powerful "Spellstrikes" by channeling Cantrips through weapon attacks and getting the most value out of concentration spells. A class meant for those who want a proper arcane battlemage that feels like it belongs in BG3.

The class is currently in playtesting and only has one Subclass, Order of The Bladebound, which allows you to bind to your mainhand weapon to change its damage type to either Fire,Cold,Lightning,Thunder,Acid, or Poison as well as increasing your accuracy and critical hit chance. (Other subclasses are on the way once Ive confirmed everything is working as intended)

In Order to better encapsulate the feeling of a battlemage and ensure the class works well within BG3 I have also adjusted some existing effects to make it so that the Spellstrike feature is compatible with both the Spell Sniper feat and the Warcaster feat (seemed appropriate). I have also modified certain cantrip or spell based items to function alongside the class as well!
