You gain proficiency with heavy armor.\r\n\r\nYou can also mark an area under your protection. You can cast the [i]alarm[\/i] spell without expending a spell slot. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus. When you finish a long rest, you regain all expended uses.\r\n\r\n[h3]Aegis Spells[\/h3]\r\nYou gain aegis spells at the swordmage level listed below.\r\n[table]\r\n[tr][th]Swordmage Level[\/th][th]Spells[\/th][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]3rd[\/td][td]ensnaring pull[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]5th[\/td][td]warding bond[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]9th[\/td][td]dispel magic[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]13th[\/td][td]control magic[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[tr][td]17th[\/td][td]wall of force[\/td][\/tr]\r\n[\/table]\r\n\r\n[h3]Abjuring Beacon[\/h3]\r\nStarting at 7th level, as an action, you can create a 10-foot radius beacon of abjuration magic within 30 feet of you that lasts for 1 minute. You can move the beacon 30 feet as a bonus action on your turn. The beacon has one of the following effects depending on your Guardian Role:\r\n[ul]\r\n[li][b]Defender.[\/b] You and any friendly creatures within the beacon's area gain a +2 bonus to their AC and savingthrows. When you reach 15th level of this class, the bonus increases to +3.[\/li]\r\n[li][b]Punisher.[\/b] If a creature hits you or a friendly creature with an attack while the attacked creature is within the beacon's area, the attacked creature can use their reaction to make the attacker take force damage. The damage taken equals half of the attack's damage (rounded down).[\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\nOnce you use this feature, you can't use it again until after a short or long rest.\r\n\r\n[h3]Guardian Bond[\/h3]\r\nWhen you reach 11th level, you learn a ritual to magically bind yourself to another person to better protect them. You perform the ritual over the course of 1 hour, which can be done during a short rest. The person must be within your reach throughout the ritual, and must be willing. After the ritual is concluded, you can sense the location of the chosen person as long as they are on the same plane of existence as you. You can sense when the person is damaged, affected by a hostile magical effect, or killed.\r\n\r\nAs a bonus action, you can teleport to an unoccupied space adjacent to your bound person as long as they are on the same plane of existence as you. Teleporting in this way consumes the magic of the bond, ending the connection between the two of you. \r\n\r\nIf you attempt to bond with another person, you must break your current bond.\r\n\r\n[h3]Stalwart Protector[\/h3]\r\nAt 15th level, your Aegis grows in strength, and your Aegis gains a benefit depending on your Guardian Role:\r\n[ul]\r\n[li][b]Defender.[\/b] When you use your Aegis reaction, you can choose to teleport your warded ally up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space that you can see. The teleportation fails if your warded ally is unwilling to teleport.[\/li]\r\n[li][b]Punisher.[\/b] When you use your Aegis reaction, you can cast a cantrip in place of making a weapon attack.[\/li]\r\n[\/ul]\r\n\r\n[h3]Mass Ward[\/h3]\r\nWhen you reach 20th level, as a bonus action or as part ofyour bonus action to activate your Aegis, you can create powerful magical shields around you and a number of allies up to your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of 1). All shielded creatures gain temporary hit points equal to 20 plus your Intelligence modifier (a minimum of 1).\r\n\r\nIf a creature damages a shielded creature while the shielded creature has these temporary hit points, the attacking creature takes force damage equal to the total temporary hit points gained.\r\n\r\nOnce you use this feature, you can't use it again until after along rest.\r\n\r\n[hr] | Warden [\/spoiler]","table_data":"       |                         |             |                 |            |                   |Spell|slots|per|spell|level\r\nLevel|Proficiency Bonus|Features|Blade Magic|Cantrips|Spells Known|1st|2nd|3rd|4th|5th\r\n1st|+2|Arcane Weapon, Spellcasting|--|2|2|2|--|--|--|--\r\n2nd|+2|Blade Magic|2|2|3|2|--|--|--|--\r\n3rd|+2|Swordmage Tradition|2|2|4|3|--|--|--|--\r\n4th|+2|Ability Score Improvement|2|2|4|3|--|--|--|--\r\n5th|+3|Cantrip Strike|3|2|5|4|2|--|--|--\r\n6th|+3|Magical Armory|3|2|5|4|2|--|--|--\r\n7th|+3|Swordmage Tradition Feature|3|2|6|4|3|--|--|--\r\n8th|+3|Ability Score Improvement|3|2|6|4|3|--|--|--\r\n9th|+4|--|4|2|7|4|3|2|--|--\r\n10th|+4|Favored Spell|4|3|7|4|3|2|--|--\r\n11th|+4|Swordmage Tradition Feature|4|3|8|4|3|3|--|--\r\n12th|+4|Ability Score Improvement|4|3|8|4|3|3|--\r\n13th|+5|--|5|3|9|4|3|3|1|--\r\n14th|+5|Spell Parry|5|4|9|4|3|3|1|--\r\n15th|+5|Swordmage Tradition Feature|5|4|10|4|3|3|1|--\r\n16th|+5|Ability Score Improvement|5|4|10|4|3|3|2|--\r\n17th|+6|--|6|4|11|4|3|3|3|1\r\n18th|+6|Spellsword Supreme|6|4|11|4|3|3|3|1\r\n19th|+6|Ability Score Improvement|6|4|12|4|3|3|3|2\r\n20th|+6|Swordmage Tradition Feature|6|4|12|4|3|3|3|2","source":"","jsondata":"","tags":"class,homebrew,swordmage","templateId":"5460","blockId":"1214264","world":"d6a501e5-9aaf-42d2-a9a5-294d49b9e9cc","folder":"16958","isShared":"on"}
