So, this is something that has always been strangely absent from the base class roster in D&D, and when we've gotten it as an "advanced" class in prior editions it's always been a bit lame, like being called "swordmage" and having no interesting fantasy behind it other than being a combination fighter/wizard. Compare this to its closest analogue, the paladin, which is a very high fantasy concept inspired by and named after a group of individuals from real world history - the highest warriors of Charlemagne's court.
It's my opinion that creating an iconic fighter/mage concept that is more than just fighter/mage with a lame name is long overdue. The concept I'm looking to build on for a future homebrew class is called The Argonaut, which would represent individuals trained by professional venturing companies to mix martial training with arcane magical training to be as versatile and self-reliant as possible in their pursuit of bounty or completion of a personal quest, with their subclasses being tied to different Venturing Companies.
What ideas do you have?
