Agreed. Unlike the Paladin whose best use of spell slots is Divine Smite I think the Swordmage should best use their spell slots...casting spells? That's where I got the "Sustained Magic" feature above from to encourage casting a spell to open and then by round 2 they should be able to go for it...

Ain't that the truth. I think it should be about on-par with Paladin (currently the closest class to what I'm looking for) but even then I think if it was people would call it OP because the 5e Paladin is just incredibly competent.

Just went and started reading the 4e Swordmage powers and I gotta say, it seems pretty fun. However, on reading it (I have only finished up to the level 2 utility powers) it seems like the only way to get that type of feel would be to release probably 3-8 spells each of levels cantrip-5. I...

I don't think anyone is saying EK is weak. People aren't saying the Bladesinger is weak either. It just lacks the playstyle people want.

I just realized reading over this that while the intent seems to be based on previous sprint checks (in game terms, Constitution (Athletics) checks to sprint,) the DC is 10+1 per previous check made in the last minute so if you spent a full turn looking for an invisible enemy (ten Wisdom...

I don't know about a bonus if it's from a game but in the Artemis Fowl series that's a thing.

This conversation reminds me of the "Mummy Lord" discussion about how clean a monster statblock should be. The picture here is pretty in favor of the 4e style for the amount of page-flipping you have to do to run a monster from the book. Do excuse posting an old Twitter link...

Sure, but the thing I'm proposing would be a literal version. Also true, what I really want is just a cool Fighter redesigned from the ground up. In lieu of that I'll try to nudge others into making weapon-users that are cool and not just "Okay, now do a basic attack twice or with a bigger...

I like the basis of what you're saying. I would suggest the base ability being a technique/style type thing rather than an item enchantment which flavor-wise do move into artificer territory. Note here that I am suggesting exactly the same thing you are suggesting mechanically but flavored...

You sound like a solid DM. Not all are so accommodating.

I'm seeing something like: Battlemage Class Features As a battlemage, you gain the following class features. Hit Points Hit Dice: 1d10 per battlemage level Hit Points at 1st Level: 10+ your Constitution modifier Hit Points at Higher Levels: 1d10 (or 6) + your Constitution modifier per...

I don't know if it would be easier to explain all of this as a class ability or if making cantrips that do this as intended would be a cleaner way of doing things. I do dig the idea though.

Light armour-How about light and medium for the base-class? Subclass can grant heavy for those who need heavy. It seems like a melee-focused class and giving light-armor alone seems like it would make it one of those classes where it only has finesse weapons. Medium as a base can help bridge...

Bad taste. WOTC taste. Edit: Meant to come across as tongue-in-cheek, not actually insulting you.

Are you sure this is the thread you meant to post? If so, what page?

What should the identity be? So the big ones from this thread that I've liked so far are The Sentinel (designed to protect a specific place, person, or object) which has a specific story, possibly at the Paladin level of required backstory. Some might like that because it intrinsically must tie...

This is where I am less useful as I have not played 1-4e. If you want to give me a description of each I'd be grateful. Now, going by what I know and my guessing and separating them in order of styles I think: Elf: Basically equal parts Wizard and Fighter? If I am correct I would say...

I don't think there's a need for it as much as a Cleric or Warlock, but the general lack of consensus on what exactly a Swordmage should BE seems a pretty good reason for a level 1 subclass to point it in a direction. If some subclasses have different armor calculations or proficiencies then I...
