I've revised the class again ...

I may actually just make this something that is obtained at 6th level and allow it to be used with cantrips. I think that's fine as long is it isn't combined with Spell Combat (at least not until later levels). I like this idea. I think I'll use that. I think you may have missed something...

1 - First of all, thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you like it. I'll will try to respond to some of your comments ... 2 - I agree that the class does intrude somewhat on the Eldritch Knight class and I'm okay with it intruding some, as long as it's not outright better or more powerful. I feel...

I just made another big update ... Has anyone tried playing with this class yet? I'm still looking for feedback.

I just made several updates to the class (see the Updates post for details). I think these updates definitely add more depth to the subclasses. I also added the Necroblade subclass, inspired by the 3.5e class. As always, I'm open to feedback and would like to know what people think as far as...

Do you mean expand on one of the abilities already present in the base class in the base class, or expanding on it in one of the archetypes? I was thinking about making spell combat weaker and expanding on that with one of the archetypes ... I was also toying with the idea of having...

Hmmm. On second thought, I'm thinking I had a better balance with a much earlier version of the class. Perhaps just making some of the base class abilities less powerful would allow me to play around with the archetypes a bit more. I might consider tweaking the levels at which archetype...

Okay, I think I see what you are getting at. This is something I've been having trouble with while designing this class. I think what it likely comes down to is that I am trying to stay too true to the feel of the original magus class. What would probably be a better approach to make the class...

Haha! That's funny. Paladins are amazing in 5e. There may be some truth to that, but I'd like to hear some logical evidence to back up why you think the base class is too powerful. Sorry, but "it just doesn't sit well with me" isn't a very convincing argument. I would agree that this class...

Well, I like it the way I have it written. I think it is reasonable to be able to use whatever spell slot you want on it and restrict it to once per day. It's still more restrictive than just casting Dispel Magic, except that you can use it as a bonus action on a single melee attack. Making it...

I used the exact same wording as Dispel Magic, except that the target is limited to a creature you hit ... what is nondescript about that? Seems pretty clear to me ...

For some reason I don't like requiring a specific level of spell slot to use the ability. How about this: Dispelling Strike: Starting at 7th level, when you hit with a melee weapon attack, you may use a bonus action and expend one of your spell slots to dispel magic from the target of your...

I'm not sure I agree with that. A fighter gets multiple ability score improvements, which can be used to take any feat. Giving a class a particular feat that they don't get to choose, seems reasonable to me. Perhaps unnecessary, though. I'll consider replacing it with something else appropriate...

You have a good point about it stepping on warlocks (and also somewhat bards) ability to gain extra spells from other classes. I have tried to avoid abilities that would encroach on other classes as much as possible. I have removed that ability from the latest version of the class. Thanks for...

Yeah, I started out using the Paladin as a base class also. Seems like a natural starting place. Hexblade sounds like fun. I have been meaning to do a witch conversion. We converted from Pathfinder to 5e in one of the campaigns I'm running and the player who is playing a witch never has quite...
