Spellblade/Mage Hunter

Mage Hunter

Some Spellblades hone their magical powers for the sake of countering other magical purposes. They become the anathema of all spellcasters, they fight fire with fire, honing their own magical skills for the purposes of binding and denying the magical powers of others.

Disrupting Blows

Starting at 3rd level, once per turn when you hit a target with a melee weapon, you deal bonus Force damage equal to your proficiency bonus. This bonus is doubled until end of your turn when you cast an Abjuration or Mage Hunter spell.

Additionally, your weapon attack rolls bypass the effects of 1st level spells (such as mage armor, shield, or sanctuary).

Swift Casting

Starting at 3rd level you can use Spellstrike as part of the Attack action before making a melee weapon attack. You cannot Spellstrike more than once per turn.

Additionally, you can use a melee weapon as your arcane focus, and when you do so you can perform somatic components with the hand holding your arcane focus (even for spells without a material component).

Purging Surge

Starting at 3rd level, you gain a new option for your Arcane Surge feature.

• On your turn, you can expend a use of Arcane Surge to end a magical effect or supernatural condition (such as being Charmed or Frightened) on yourself (no action required). If the spell is of a level greater than half your Spellblade level (rounded up) you must make an Intelligence saving throw with a DC of 10 + the spell's level to end it. You cannot do use this ability if you are incapacitated.

Nullifying Surge

Starting at 7th level, you can use Purging Surge even when incapacitated. Additionally, you can project the purging power outwards, expending two uses of Arcane Surge to cast counterspell or dispel magic without expending a spell slot.

Expert Abjuration

Starting at 15th level, when you have to make a Spellcasting check to dispel or counter a magical effect with Purging Surge or Nullifying Surge, you can add your Proficiency bonus to the roll.

Mana Void

At 20th level, you can turn yourself into a magical void, devouring and nullifying magic around you. For one minute, you project the effect of antimagic field 5 feet around (no action required). You can still cast spells while within this field, but are limited to Abjuration spells and Cantrips. Once per turn for the duration, when you counter or end the effect of a spell, you regain 1 use of Arcane Surge.

This effect ends early if you become unconscious, or you can end it at any time (no action required).
