Class Details can be found in the appended article.

5e spells recommended, you will lose some useful spells without it.

UnlockLevelCurve Supported, but currently there's no features after Lv12, except for spell slots growth.

ImprovedUI and ImprovedUI Assets required for the class icon to show up.

I'm back! Sorry for leaving the mod unusable for such a long time. I fixed up the mod and made a playthrough with it myself, which gave me many new ideas. Now it is much more balanced and with plenty of new class features, give it a try!

PS: I still have no idea what broke the mod, I simply repacked it without changing anything and everything became fine again. A bit of scary, I say.

Class Feature

Sword Saint is designed as the damage core of the team, requiring team resources to maximize damage potential.

The Sword Saint dedicates their entire life to studying the most profound combat techniques and arcane skills, focusing on obliterating all adversaries with a thunderous blend of attacks,

Sword Saint features maximized damage potential, which is achieved by its large number of extra attacks and elemental damage bonus. It also has the potential to be a potent damage-caster if relevant Arcane Arts are selected.

The key ability of Sword Saint is Instant Strike, which provides 1/2/3 extra attacks at level 4/8/12. However, these attacks also receive a -4/-7/-9 penalty in Attack Rolls, which makes it vital for you to get as much attack bonus as you can, no matter with the help of your spells, class abilities or allies.

Dimension Blade, a featuring spell in pf sword saint, has been transplanted. You can expend a spell slot to cast Dimension Blade, which makes a weapon attack without a regular attack roll, but instead force the target to make a Dexterity Saving Throw, which greatly increases your chance to hit. Provided with your poor accuracy, it might be necessary to expend many of your spell slots on this ability.
