Spellsword

Blending the strengths of both Fighter and Scholar, Spellswords are versatile arcane warriors. While they might not excel in either pure combat or spellcasting, they can hold their own in both arenas. Their mix of fighting prowess, magical aptitude, and access to Artisan skills makes them a potent and unpredictable force.

Spellswords shine in their ability to adapt to any situation. They can wield a variety of weapons, bolstering their damage with Weapon Proficiency. Equally important is their access to both healing and destructive magic, and the potential to cast powerful rituals at higher levels. Spellswords can even channel magic through their weapons with Spellstrikes, adding a unique element to their fighting style.

Think about these when choosing Spellsword:

• Hybrid Approach: Are you ready for the challenge of building both combat and magic skills?
• Weapon Choice: What kind of fighter do you see yourself as?
• Magical Focus: Healing, damage, or utility spells?

Spellswords are spellcasting fighters who can use a weapon as easily as they can throw a spell. Their combat training leaves them better able to fight but takes away from their studies. Spells are a bit harder for them than Scholars and weapons a bit harder for them than Fighters, but at higher levels, Spellswords are a good match for either of those two classes.
