Magus: The Magus Class Preview - Dungeon Masters Guild | Dungeon Masters Guild

The Warlord has some weird layout issues and 'Specialization' seems to turn into 'Prescence' always through. It's not bad though.

The magus (fighter/mage) class has already been mentioned, I think it looks pretty good (though I haven't had a chance to play it due to DMing). I do think the class has one or two issues such as other than 2nd level spells they don't gain anything at 5th level like other half-casters. I'd probably put war magic there instead of at level 7 as the author has done.

He bumped War Magic back from 5 to 7 specifically to not get the double-bump of damage from the cantrip die increase + the bonus action attack. Level 5 is already getting a new spell level plus the cantrip die increase, it really doesn't need any more.

Okay I guess add the Feywalker from a touch of class as well!

Also, weird question, Im assuming with the Warmage Redux, the House of Kings/Queen's are the same with just the obvious gender flip? Cuz it mentions House of Queens and yet I don't see em anywhere as a House option.

Yes, Kings/Queens are the same house. It's more clear in the actual purchased PDF than on the website.

Yea, that's a recent change, probably still working its way through the process. The GMBinder link is to most recent revision, which isn't finalized.

Ah that makes sense.

I dug me some Incarnum, also the Archivist from Heroes of Horror was a fantastic support class.

I feel level 5 does need something else to be in line with other half-casters which do gain something at level 5 other than just level 2 spells. If not war magic, then something else. Putting it at level 7 also makes it a level where they gain quite a lot since that's also where they gain some subclass abilities. To me it makes the levelling of the class a little unbalanced since they gain little at level 5 and more than usual at level 7. Other than that, I think it is a good class.

Oooh, the Beguiler was also great fun

 

[Weiley31]

Yeah. They couldn’t think of thematically different mechanical options for them, and didn’t want to seem super sexist, so they just made the king class. There’s also some historical precedence for women being kings.

I'll label em as Queens.
