[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7926681, member: 6795602"] Understandable and thank you. I like the concept of a swordmage and I also like the concept of a swordsman scholar that does ritual magic - I'm just not entirely sure those concepts are the same. So I wish you would be a little more open to the possibility of names changing - but I won't argue about the names here. Maybe we can revisit that when the final product is complete. To me the type of Aegis should be the major feature differentiator between subclasses. To me it would function much like a Paladin's Oath in that regard. Have some Aegis type specific spells. Maybe the Aegis variations are Aegis of Fire Aegis of Frost Aegis of Assault Aegis of Protection Aegis of Haste I would make swordmage spells the upgraded version of booming blade and such. This allows for them to have a lot more magical power behind them than say a smite spell. Alternatively you could have them just require a bonus action when you hit and no concertation. Maybe some of both types. Thanks That's fair. I will wait to judge the power level when it's closer to completion. All I've been meaning to say is let's just try to avoid having unnecessary only semi thematic power in the class for now as we have alot of abilities and features to add and anything we add at this early stage that's powerful will greatly reduce our options later.
