I want to bring my favorite 4E class to Daggerheart and brainstorm another fan favorite. My favorite: the swordmage. The fan favorite: the warlord.I’ll be using the homebrew kit throughout. Linked in the OP. And this is very much a public work-in-progress, not a finished thing I’m posting.First up: the swordmage. In 4E this was a teleport-happy tank that specialized in tanking by kiting. For those who don’t know, kiting is a video game term for getting something to follow you…while you keep moving away. Well, I think one subclass did that. The other would reposition enemies via offensive teleport. Not sure how those would work in Daggerheart. But let’s find out.Okay. So domains. While I can see arguments for a few different domains, I think Valor and Codex are the best fits. Valor is for tanks. Codex is for book-learning magic types. Those are very much the swordmage’s shtick. Blade and Arcana are both also strong contenders.Evasion vs HP. The wizard has 5 HP and the guardian has 7 HP. The average is 6. I could see an argument for 10 Ev and 6 HP or 9 Ev and 7 HP. I’ll leave that hair splitting for later.And that’s it for now. More a tease than anything else.Anyone familiar with the 4E swordmage have ideas on the hope and class features?</blockquote>
