Runeblade

The first Blade Dancers came from the secretive tribes of Zakhara, far south of Faerûn, although the exact origins are contested. Some believe that genies granted these runes to warriors of old, while others say the gods graced those who perform worship through dance. In any case, the tradition lives on and has spread - the discipline of following the flow of battle as water does through a stream - effortless and graceful.

At 7th level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to throw your rune weapon at an unoccupied space you can see within 60 feet of you. You teleport to that space holding your rune weapon, and each creature of your choice within 5 feet of you must make a Constitution saving throw against your Runeblade spell save DC or take force damage equal to 1d4 + your Intelligence modifier.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a short or long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of any level to use it again.

At 15th level, your movement through the battlefield appears as an ever-flowing dance. When you move on your turn, you gain a +2 bonus to your AC and Dexterity saving throws until the start of your next turn. You lose this bonus if you are prone, take damage, or if your speed becomes 0.

At 20th level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to begin a war dance that lasts for one minute. While in this dance, your walking speed is doubled, and you can make an additional attack whenever you take the Attack action.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until the end of a long rest, unless you expend a spell slot of any level to use it again.

Blade Jugglers are performers and tricksters, using their runes on knives and daggers to captivate an audience. Their deadly precision with sharpened blades is fearsome. They can juggle and throw an astounding number of blades at once, as well as mystify and confound by creating doubles of themselves.

At 7th level, you can use an action to either teleport 15 feet and create an illusory duplicate where you were standing, or to create an illusory duplicate in an empty space within 15 feet of you. The duplicate is an object with AC equal to your Runeblade spell save DC.

The duplicate looks and sounds like you but physical interaction with it reveals it to be an illusion, because things can pass through it.

Once on your turn, you can mentally command your duplicate to move up to 30 feet in any direction and make it gesture, speak, and behave in whatever way you choose (no action required).

The duplicate disappears when you or it take any damage, if you become incapacitated, if you dismiss it as a bonus action, if you create another duplicate, or if it is ever 30 feet away from you at the end of your turn.

A creature can use an action to make an Intelligence (Investigation) check against your spell save DC, determining the duplicate to be an illusion on a success.

As a bonus action on your turn, you can teleport, magically swapping places with the duplicate at a cost of 15 feet of your movement, regardless of the distance between the two of you.

At 15th level, you can use your action to cast the conjure barrage spell three times in the same action. You can move in between each casting. Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until the end of a short or long rest.

When you reach 20th level in this class, you cast the spell five times in one action instead.

At 20th level, your Flash Double feature gains the following improvements:

Parivir are swordsmasters, who learn runes to augment their martial skills with devastating elemental magic. Their prowess and precision with the blade is unmatched. Many an aspiring Runeblade take up this discipline, though only a select few master it.

At 7th level, you perform weapon strikes faster than the eye can see. Whenever you use an Arcane Strike with a melee weapon, the target takes an additional 1d6 magical slashing damage at the end of the turn.

At 15th level, as an action, you can deal slashing damage to yourself equal to half your maximum hit points.

This damage can't be prevented or reduced in any way. When you do, choose an effect:

At 20th level, your mastery over the blade lets you cut a life's thread short. When you hit a creature with an attack on your turn, you can choose to doom the target for one minute. A doomed target dies whenever it has 100 hit points or fewer. Constructs and undead are immune to this effect.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until the end of a long rest. You also regain the use of this feature if a target immediately dies when you doom it.

The glyphs of the Spectre are considered hidden knowledge, privy only to a select few. Kingdoms only employ a few hand selected Spectres to perform covert missions, in an attempt to keep the techniques shrouded in mystery. Those who are deemed worthy to become Spectres are trained and are taught glyphs which help them stay undetected, fight in the shadows, and gather information. Those who fail the training often become maddened by what they see.

At 7th level, at home unseen in the shadows, you learn to take advantage of an opponent's defenselessness. Weapon attacks you make with advantage or against surprised creatures deal an additional 1d6 damage of the weapon's type.

At 15th level, the deathly magic of your runes binds your soul closer to the realm of the dead. You are always under the effects of a see invisibility spell, and you can cast the speak with dead spell at will.

At 20th level, your soul is forever altered by your spectral runes and is now indistinguishable from the dead - even to the barrier between worlds. While holding your rune weapon, you can cast the etherealness spell at will without using a spell slot or requiring a verbal component. The spell ends early if you end it as a bonus action on your turn, are no longer carrying your rune weapon, fall unconscious, or die.

The origins of this discipline can be traced back to ancient giant warrior tribes, but are now associated with goliaths, who have inherited the tradition, and to dwarves who learned it and made it their own. The Runic Knights are stalwart shieldbearers who learn magical glyphs to complement their martial abilities. Many go on treacherous expeditions to ruins deep underground to uncover ancient glyphs left by lost civilizations, bringing back knowledge to strengthen themselves and their homeland.

At 7th level, you can use a bonus action on your turn to turn your rune shield's bonus to attack and damage rolls into a bonus to your AC and saving throws instead, or vice versa. If your rune weapon is a magical shield that already grants a bonus to AC, you don't benefit from the bonus to AC from this feature.

At 15th level, you learn a glyph that channels magic into your runes, creating a resilient aura. Whenever you expend a use of your Glyph of Protection feature, you gain temporary hit points equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1).

If you expend it to use your Glyph of the Aegis feature, your target gains the temporary hit points instead.

At 20th level, you discover the inscription that lends you the tenacity and purpose of legendary heroes of old. You have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage while holding your rune weapon.

Soulblades are mystic warriors who harness the magic of weapons into spectral blades that can slash through enemies with uncanny precision, or devastating waves of pure energy with a slash. Soulblades are both formidable and enigmatic, seamlessly blending the material and spectral realms to deliver swift and deadly strikes, leaving foes bewildered and awestruck by their spectral prowess.

At 7th level, once on each of your turns when you take the Attack action, you can spend a spell slot and forego one of your attacks to instead send out a beam of energy with a swing of your weapon. The beam travels in a 30-foot-long and 5-foot-wide line originating from you, in a direction you choose. Each creature in the line must make a Dexterity saving throw against your Runeblade spell save DC. A creature takes 3d6 force damage on a failed save. When you spend a spell slot of 2nd level or higher, the damage increases by 1d6, and the line's length increases by 10 feet for each slot level above 1st.

At 15th level, you can use an action to summon magical blades in a 15-foot radius sphere centered on you for one minute. You can choose to dismiss the aura at any time (no action required). When another creature enters the area for the first time on a turn or starts its turn there, you can force it to make a Dexterity saving throw against your Runeblade spell save DC. On a failed save, the creature takes slashing damage equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of 1). On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage.

At 20th level, you can use your action to cast the blade barrier spell three times. When cast using this feature, the spell does not require concentration, you are immune to the spell's effects, and you can end each spell at any time (no action required). Until the spell ends, you use a bonus action on your turn to disperse one of the walls and reform it at another point within 90 feet of you.

Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until the end of a long rest.

Although the martial tradition of weaving magic into archery was originally borne and perfected by elven masters, many others have begun to emulate the art. Spellbow Archers combine deadly aim and wicked magic to overwhelm their opponents from range.

At 7th level, your strikes leave a trace of magic that lets you aim at your target with ease. Whenever you use your Arcane Strike, until the end of your next turn, you gain advantage on your next attack against that creature.

At 15th level, spells you cast while holding a ranged rune weapon and attacks you make using a ranged rune weapon ignore cover.

At 20th level, if your rune weapon that has the ammunition or thrown property, both its normal range and long range are doubled. Additionally, when you miss with a ranged attack using your rune weapon, you can choose to hit instead.

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier. You regain all expended uses at the end of a long rest.

Witchblades wield dark and malevolent magic to afflict their adversaries. With their cursed blades, they can siphon the life force from their foes, leaving them weakened and vulnerable. These formidable spellcasters combine their proficiency with runic weaponry and arcane curses to unleash a deadly blend of martial and mystical prowess, instilling fear in those who dare to cross their path while harnessing the power of darkness to ensure their dominance on the battlefield.

At 7th level, you can add 1d4 to your attack rolls against targets cursed by your Cursemark Glyph.

Once per long rest, you can recover a spell slot of any level when a target cursed by your Cursemark Glyph dies.

At 15th level, when you take damage while a target is cursed by your Cursemark Glyph, you can choose to prevent 2d4 of that damage and the cursed target takes that much necrotic damage.

At 20th level, you can conduct a ten-minute ritual to summon a dark creature curse-bound to your bidding. The ritual can be done during a short or long rest, being completed at the end of the rest. At the end of the ritual, you cast one of the following spells* at 9th level without needing material components: summon shadowspawn, summon undead, or summon fiend. The spell does not require concentration, and its duration is until the end of your next long rest.
