[QUOTE="Redwizard007, post: 8328462, member: 7024098"] If I was really going to build this out, instead of treating it like a brainstorming exercise... Level 1 - (base class ability) - your spellcasting focus is any one handed weapon. Level 3. - You may charge your body with magic for a number of minutes equal to your proficiency modifier. While so charged you gain the following benefits. Any time you make an attack as a bonus action, you may also dash or disengage as part of the same action. You may add your Intelligence modifier, if positive, to the damage rolls of all attacks you make with a light melee weapon. This ability can only be used when wearing light or no armor, and not wearing a shield. You may use this ability twice per long rest at 3rd level, 3 times at 6th level, 4 at 12th, and 5 at 17th level. Level 5 - (base class ability) modified extra attack - when you cast a spell or cantrip as an action, you may make a single weapon attack as a bonus action. Level 7 - when using the attack action and wielding a light weapon you may teleport up to 15' as a bonus action. Level 11 - (base class ability) modified extra attack - when you cast a spell or cantrip with your action, you may now make 2 attacks with your bonus action. Etc. [/QUOTE]
