SORCERER

Though spellcasters by vocation, sorcerers rely most on summonings and enchantments. They are greedy for magic scrolls, rings, armor and weapons, and commanding undead and Daedric servants gratifies their egos.

On a failed save, the creature is banished or turned. If a creature has a Willpower of 14 or higher, the creature has advantage on the saving throw.

    A banished creature immediately vanishes into oblivion, however many greater daedra can be immune to this effect.

A turned creature must spend it's turn trying to move as far away from you as it can, and it can't willingly move to a space within 30 feet of you. It also can't take reactions. For it's action, it can use only the Dash action or try to escape from an effect that prevents it from moving. If there's nowhere to move, the creature can use the Dodge action.

BATTLEMAGE

Battlemages are wizard-warriors, trained in both lethal spellcasting and heavily armored combat.

They sacrifice mobility and versatility for the ability to supplement melee and ranged attacks with elemental damage and summoned creatures.

 

 

Battlemage Mastery

When you choose this focus at level 3, you gain proficiency in Heavy Armor

 

Elemental Defender

Starting at level 3, when you are wearing heavy armor and spend 10 minutes focusing on a specific element, you gain resistance to magic damage taken from that same element. You must finish a short rest before being able to focus on a different element. The elements are Fire, Frost, Poison, and Shock.

 

Battle Aura

At level 6, you are able to surround yourself with a magical aura that augments your combat prowess. To change your aura, you must spend 10 minutes concentrating on it.

 

Defensive Aura. You gain +1 AC.

 

Offensive Aura. You gain +2 chance to hit with melee and ranged weapon attacks.

 

Swiftness Aura. Your speed increases by 10 feet.

 

Courageous Aura. You are immune to fear.

 

Concentration Aura. You cannot be silenced.

 

Spell Reflect

Starting at level 14, while wearing heavy armor, when you are required to roll a Willpower saving throw against fire, frost, or shock damage, you gain the ability to reflect damage back to the attacker. On a success, you reflect half the damage back on the attacker and take no damage. On a fail, you are unable to reflect any damage, but only take half damage.

    This ability can only be used once per short or long rest.

 

Draining Aura

At level 18, you can create a 30 foot field, centered on yourself, that drains 1d6 health from nearby enemies and heals the sorcerer for an equal amount. The spell lasts up to 3 turns, unless you run out of magicka, or take a different action. The effect occurs when the spell is cast, and at the start of the sorcerer's subsequent turns.

    1 magicka is consumed for each enemy drained per turn. The spell is interrupted if you are damaged, silenced, or knocked unconscious. This ability can only be used once per short or long rest.

 

 

NECROMANCER

Necromancers are sorcerers who have dedicated themselves to The Black Arts. They utilize the enslavement of involuntary souls and their bodies. Necromancy has been banned in some provinces and the practice is widely debated throughout Nirn.

 

Necromantic Mastery

When you choose this focus at Level 3, you gain proficiency in Necromancy magic, part of the School of Conjuration. You also gain one Necromancy spell of your choice.

 

Grim Harvest

Also at 3rd level, you gain the ability to reap life energy from creatures you kill with your spells. Once per turn when you kill one or more creatures with a spell, you regain hit points equal to 3 times the magicka cost of the spell. You don't gain this benefit for killing constructs or undead.

 

Dark Souls

At 6th level, when you use the Raise Animal or Raise Dead Necromancy spell, you can target one additional corpse or pile of bones, creating another zombie or skeleton, as appropriate.

Whenever you create an undead using a necromancy spell, it has additional benefits.

 

• The creature's hit points maximum is increased by an amount equal to your level.

• The creature adds your proficiency bonus to its weapon damage rolls.

 

Inured to Undeath

Beginning at 14th level, you have resistance to poison and disease damage, and your hit point maximum can't be reduced. You have spent so much time dealing with undead and the forces that animate them that you have become inured to some of their worst effects.

 

Command Undead

Starting at 18th level, you can use magic to bring undead under your control, even those created by other Necromancers. As an action, you can choose one undead that you can see within 60 feet of you. The creature must make a Willpower saving throw against your spell save DC. If it succeeds, you can't use this feature on it again. If it fails, it becomes friendly to you and obeys your commands until you use this feature again.

    Intelligent undead are harder to control in this way. If the target has an Intelligence of 8 or higher, it has advantage on the saving throw. If it fails the saving throw and has an Intelligence of 12 or higher, it can repeat the saving throw at the end of every hour until it succeeds or breaks free.

 

 

SPELLSWORD

Spellswords are spellcasting specialists trained to support Imperial troops in skirmish and in battle. Veteran spellswords are prized as mercenaries, and well-suited for careers as adventurers and soldiers-of-fortune.

 

Spellsword Mastery

When you choose this focus at level 3, you gain proficiency in Long Blade, Light Armor, and Medium Armor. You also gain Spell Proficiency in the Enchanting school of magic.

 

Mystic Binding

Starting at 3rd level, your bound weapons are more deadly. Your attacks and damage rolls are increased by +1. Your attacks also damage creatures that are typically immune to mundane weapon damage.

    The attack and damage rolls increase by +1 when you reach 11th level (+2), and again at 17th level (+3).

 

Elemental Twister

Starting at 6th level, as a bonus action, you temporarily enchant a weapon you are holding with your choice of element. The next attack you make with that weapon deals the normal effects as well as the effects of the element listed below. The enchantment ends if the weapon is sheathed or leaves your hand.

    The damage increases when you reach 11th level and again at 17th level.

 

Fire. Your weapon deals an additional 2d6 fire damage, and continues to burn the target with smoldering fire for 2 rounds. For the next 2 rounds, the target takes 2d4 fire damage at the start of your turn. If the target is struck again by the same effect, the burning damage resets, but does not stack.

    The initial damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 11th level (3d6), and again at 17th level (4d6).

 

Frost. Your weapon deals an additional 2d8 frost damage and the target is slowed, lowering its speed by 15 feet and causes disadvantage on attacks and saving throws until the start of its next turn.

    The damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 11th level (3d8), and again at 17th level (4d8).

 

Shock. Your weapon deals an additional 2d6 shock damage to all enemies within 5 feet of the target. The target itself does not take any shock damage.

    The damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 11th level (3d6), and again at 17th level (4d6).

 

Poison. Your weapon deals an additional 2d8 poison damage and weakens the target for 2 rounds. The afflicted target gains one level of exhaustion until the start of your next turn.

    The damage increases by 1d8 when you reach 11th level (3d8), and again at 17th level (4d8).

 

Cleave

Beginning at 14th level, when you use the Attack action, you can use a melee weapon to strike any number of enemies within 5 feet of you, with a separate attack roll for each target.

 

War Magic

At 18th level, when you use the Cast a Spell action and you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you can use the attack action as well.
