[QUOTE="Jester David, post: 7986769, member: 37579"] Updating 4e classes is tricky because they have 1-2 things that are assumed and everything else is a power soup of optional powers. Three people couple play swordmages and have entirely different ideas of what the class should do. [B][I]Warding. [/I][/B]Boosting AC via magic. This could be adding your Intelligence to AC when you have an empty hand and are wearing light armour. Which might be high, but they are meant to be a tanky... Or just boost AC by 2 with a special version of [I]mage armour[/I] that still allows you to weak light armour. [B][I]Aegis. [/I][/B]This might be the big feature, that works simmilar to smite, where you trigger it with a spell slot to teleport themselves or teleport a target. Not sure if they should attack with Strength/ Dexterity or Intelligence. If the later, Warding should be reduced. With how the hexblade works, it wouldn't be impossible to have it hit off Int.
