[QUOTE="Cap'n Kobold, post: 7925420, member: 6802951"] Fair enough. I was trying to resolve the 5e use of rituals as a method of casting some utility spells with martial formulae and what I remembered about the 4e Swordmage. I'm aware that this is just your vision of a Swordmage, for your gaming group, but I wanted to make sure I was aiming for the same goals that you were before making suggestions toward those goals. As I said, I will see which 5e ritual spells you think are an integral part of the class, to get a better idea of what you're working towards there. Good point. Basing its performance off a "tanky" sword-and-board fighter rather than a two-handed damage-oriented one would seem to be a good fit then. Particularly since the swordmage seemed to be a fairly solid defender and had ways to interfere with attacks against other people like some shield users in 5e do. Being able to spend power to shield an ally from an opponent's attack, or blink over to them and strike them in retribution sounds like the sort of thing that could be options. Formulas, ciphers, mysteries, rubrics, forms, techniques? [/QUOTE]
