The spellsword is a warrior who is also dabbles in arcane magic. He focuses on using magic outside of combat, complimenting his fighting skills with minor spellcasting abilities and a deep theoretical understanding of arcane magic. This makes him able to create and use scrolls and other magic items to cast spells in a deliberate, planned manner.

Class Information

This is a hybrid class, a combination of fighter and magus.

Age: The spellsword is an educated class and uses the oldest starting age bracket, with the same starting age as a wizard.

Alignment: Any

Hit dice: d10

Class Skills

Craft (Int), Fly (Dex), Intimidate (Cha), Knowledge (Any) (Int), Linguistics (Int), Profession (Wis), Spellcraft (Int), and Use Magic Device (Cha).

Skill points per level: 2 + Int bonus

Class Features

These are all the class features of the spellsword class.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency

Spellswords are proficient with all simple and martial melee weapons, with all types of armor (heavy, medium, and light), and with shields (except tower shields). A spellsword can cast magus spells from the spellsword spell list while wearing armor and using a shield without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. A multiclass spellsword still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes.

Spells

A spellsword casts arcane spells drawn from the magus spell list, but only up to the 4th level of spells. A spellsword has no access to magus spells of level 5 or higher, such spells are not considered to be on his spell list for any purpose, precluding him from using spell trigger and spell completion items based on those spells. (See magic theorist below for exceptions to this.) A spellsword must choose and prepare his spells ahead of time. The spellsword only begins with the ability to cast cantrips, but is a spellcaster from level 1 and has a caster level equal to his spellsword level.

To learn, prepare, or cast a spell, the spellsword must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a spellsword's spell is 10 + the spell level + the spellsword's Intelligence modifier.

A spellsword can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Spellsword. In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Intelligence score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells). When Table: Spellsword indicates that the spellsword gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, he gains only the bonus spells he would be entitled to based on his Intelligence score for that spell level.

A spellsword may know any number of spells. He must choose and prepare his spells ahead of time by getting 8 hours of sleep and spending 1 hour studying his spellbook. While studying, the spellsword decides which spells to prepare.

Spellbooks: A spellsword must study his spellbook each day to prepare his spells. He cannot prepare any spell not recorded in his spellbook. At 1st level a spellsword gains a spellbook containing all level zero magus spells. At 4th level the spellsword adds three 1st-level spells of his choice to his spellbook. The spellsword also selects a number of additional 1st-level magus spells equal to his Intelligence modifier to add to the spellbook at this time. At each new spellsword level after the fourth, he gains one spell of any spell level that he can cast (based on his new spellsword level) for his spellbook.

At any time, a spellsword can also add spells of level 1 or greater found in other spellbooks to his own. A spellsword can learn spells from a wizard’s spellbook, just as a wizard can from a spellsword’s spellbook. The spells learned must be on the magus spell list. A spellsword cannot learn spells from an alchemist's formula book.

A spellsword can also use others' spellbooks to make magic items based on spells he has not recorded in his own spellbook, see spellbook understanding below.

Cantrips

Spellswords can prepare a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells, each day, as noted on Table: Spellsword under “Spells per Day.” These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again. A spellsword has a caster level equal to his spellsword level.

Magic Theorist

A spellsword has a deep understanding of the theories of magic. All spells from the magus and sorcerer/wizard spell list are assumed to be on the spellsword's spell list for the purpose of using spell trigger and spell completion items.

Scribe Scroll

The spellsword gains Scribe Scroll as a bonus feat at 2nd level.

Spellbook Understanding

At third level, a spellsword can use a sorcerer/wizard spell from a spellbook he owns as a prerequisite for creating a magic item. This need not be his own spell book or a spell he knows or is capable of casting. As long as the spell in question has been deciphered (using Spellcraft or read magic), the spellsword can use the spellbook to satisfy prerequisites for creating magic items.

Note that this combined with magic theorist and Scribe Scroll gives the swordmage a sort of ritual magic; by scribing a scroll of a high-level spell, he can make that spell available for a single use.

Bonus Feats

At 3rd level a spellsword can learn feats as a figher of half his class level and gains a bonus feat, either a combat feat or an item creation feat. He must meet the prerequisites of the feat as normal. Every three levels thereafter a spellsword can choose another bonus feat.

Somatic Weapon (Ex)

At 4th level, a spellsword can use a melee weapon as a part of the somatic components of his spells. He no longer needs a free hand to cast spells with somatic components as long as he is wielding a melee weapon.

Arcane Pool (Su)

At 5th level, a spellsword gains the magus’s arcane pool ability, except that the spellsword can expend 1 point from his arcane pool as a swift action to grant any weapon he is holding a +1 enhancement bonus for 1 minute, plus an additional +1 enhancement bonus every four levels beyond 1st, to a maximum of +4 at 17th level.

Lighten Armor (Su)

A 7th level spellsword can expend one point from his arcane pool as a swift action to lighten his armor and load for 10 minutes. This reduces the armor check penalty of his armor/encumbrance by one and increases the maximum dexterity bonus by one. This reduction improves by 1 for every three levels beyond 7th, up to a maximum reduction of 4 at 16th level.

In addition, a spellsword using lighten armor can move at his normal speed while wearing medium armor or carrying medium encumbrance. At 10th level, a spellsword can move at his normal speed with heavy armor/encumbrance.

Spellstrike (Su)

At 8th level, a spellsword gains the magus’s spellstrike ability.

Spellbook Mastery

At 11th level the spellbook understanding ability improves to allow spellsword can use a spellbook and points from his magic pool to cast sorcerer/wizard spells. Doing this takes one minute (or longer if the spell's casting time is longer) and costs a number of points from the arcane pool equal to the spell's level. The level of the spell can be no higher than half the spellsword's class level. At 19th level the minimum casting time for a spell cast like this is reduced to one round. The spellsword must have the spellbook he is using in hand to cast spells like this.

Quick Casting (Su)

At 14th level, a spellsword can spend points from his arcane pool to cast any magus spell he has prepared as if he had used the Quicken Spell metamagic feat. This expends a number of points from his arcane pool equal to the level of the spell and does not increase the spell slot required to cast the spell.

Master Spellsword (Su)

At 20th level, whenever a spellsword uses weapon somatics, he does not need to make a concentration check to cast spells defensively. In addition, when using spellbook mastery to cast a sorcerer/wizard spell from a scroll of another spellcaster’s spellbook, the number of points he needs to expend to cast the spell is equal to half the level of the spell (rounded up).

+<noinclude>{{OGL}}</noinclude>
-=== Arcane Weapon Somatics ===
-The spellsword can use a melee weapon to replace the somatic components of all spells he casts. This works just like the Still Spell feat, except that the spellsword must be wielding a melee weapon and must be able to use it. There is no increase in the level of a spell affected by arcane weapon somatics.
-=== Cantrips ===
-Spellswords know a number of cantrips, or 0-level spells equal to their Intelligence modifier at first level. They learn one new cantrip every third level. These spells are cast like any other spell, but they are not expended when cast and may be used again. A spellsword does not prepare cantrips; he knows a limited selection that does not change over time.
-=== Spells ===
-A spellsword casts arcane spells drawn from the sorcerer/wizard spell list. A spellsword must choose and prepare his spells ahead of time.
-To learn, prepare, or cast a spell, the spellsword must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a spellsword's spell is 10 + the spell level + the spellsword's Intelligence modifier.
-A spellsword can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: Spellsword . In addition, he receives bonus spells per day if he has a high Intelligence score (see Table: Ability Modifiers and Bonus Spells). When Table: Spellsword indicates that the spellsword gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, she gains only the bonus spells she would be entitled to based on her Intelligence score for that spell level.
-A spellsword may know any number of spells. He must choose and prepare his spells ahead of time by getting 8 hours of sleep and spending 1 hour studying his spellbook. While studying, the spellsword decides which spells to prepare.
-Starting Spells (See Spellbooks below): A spellsword at 4th level gains a spellbook containing three 1st-level spells of his choice. The spellsword also selects a number of additional 1st-level spells equal to his Intelligence modifier to add to the spellbook. At each new spellsword level, he gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that he can cast (based on his new spellsword level) for his spellbook. At any time, a spellsword can also add spells found in other spellbooks to his own (see Magic).
-Spells Gained at a New Level: Spellsword perform a certain amount of spell research between adventures. Each time a character attains a new spellsword level, he gains one spell of his choice to add to his spellbook. The free spell must be of spell levels he can cast.
-=== Bonus Feats ===
-At 3rd, 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th, and 18th level, a spellsword gains a bonus feat. At each such opportunity, he can choose a metamagic feat, an item creation, or Spell Mastery. The spellsword must still meet all prerequisites for a bonus feat, including caster level minimums. These bonus feats are in addition to the feats that a character of any class gets from advancing levels. The spellsword is not limited to the categories of Item Creation Feats, Metamagic Feats, or Spell Mastery when choosing those feats.
-=== Weapon Bond ===
-Upon reaching 5th level, a spellsword forms a divine bond with her weapons that allows the spellsword to enhance her weapon as a standard action by calling upon arcane power for 1 minute per spellsword level. When called, the power causes the weapon to shed light as a torch. At 5th level, this power grants the weapon a +1 enhancement bonus. For every three levels beyond 5th, the weapon gains another +1 enhancement bonus, to a maximum of +6 at 20th level. These bonuses can be added to the weapon, stacking with existing weapon bonuses to a maximum of +5, or they can be used to add any of the following weapon properties: brilliant energy, dancing, defending, flaming, flaming burst, keen, and speed. Adding these properties consumes an amount of bonus equal to the property's cost (see Table: Melee Weapon Special Abilities). These bonuses are added to any properties the weapon already has, but duplicate abilities do not stack. If the weapon is not magical, at least a +1 enhancement bonus must be added before any other properties can be added. The bonus and properties granted by the power are determined when the power is called and cannot be changed until the power is called again. The arcane power imparts no bonuses if the weapon is held by anyone other than the spellsword but resumes giving bonuses if returned to the spellsword. These bonuses apply to only one end of a double weapon. A spellsword can use this ability once per day at 5th level, and one additional time per day for every four levels beyond 5th, to a total of four times per day at 17th level.
-If a weapon bonded with a arcane power is destroyed, the spellsword loses the use of this ability for 30 days, or until she gains a level, whichever comes first. During this 30-day period, the spellsword takes a –1 penalty on attack and weapon damage rolls.
