Mana[edit]
Starting at 1st level, you, as well as any other mage, has the ability to use Mana. Mana is an important aspect of every mage that has ever lived, as it is their source of "magic power", which is used to cast magic spells.
You have a number of Mana equal to your level added four times. Whenever you use mana for one of your features, it is spent. You regain all mana lost on a short or long rest.
- Mana Types
There is a variety of mana types a mage can use, with some being beneficial while others being dangerous.
- Mana. The normal mana, also known as just Mana, is located everywhere around the world and is the mana the great majority of mages use.
- Dark Mana. Mana from the underworld is called Dark Mana in the living world, due to its more sinister quality. This mana boosts the power and capabilities of magic but carries the risk of corrupting the bodies, souls, and magic of both users and victims alike; thus, its usage is classified as Forbidden Magic.
- Whenever you use Dark Mana, you must make a DC 5 + the amount of Dark Mana used Wisdom saving throw. On a failure, you become corrupted by dark magic and become Berserk until you are knocked unconscious. On a success, you can keep control of your body, however the DC increases by 1 (to a maximum of 30).
- If you are any other race however, when you become berserk you gain devil horns on your head that remain indefinetely unless you are a Devil Host.
- Natural Mana. Natural mana is the magic acumulated by nature which can only be used by those skilled in the Mana Method.
- Mana Exhaustion
A mage that uses all of their mana could end up with severe exhaustion and be rendered unconscious. When you are reduced to 0 Mana, you must make a DC 20 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, you receive two levels of exhaustion. On a success, you receive only one level of exhaustion, or none if you have Endurance. If you fail the saving throw by 5 or more, you are also knocked unconscious.
If your mana has been reduced to 0 or below, you won't regain any mana when making short rests until you make a long rest.
Grimoire[edit]
Also at 1st level, upon turning 15 years old, a mage can attend an annual ceremony where they receive a special book, known as a grimoire. At first, a grimoire is mostly empty, but as the user grows as a person, new spells are inscribed on the blank pages.
- Magic Attributes
Unlike mana that exists in nature, the mana that is situated within mages has a specific nature to it, known as an attribute. These attributes are one of the aspects that differentiate one mage from another, with the attribute that a mage possesses is the one that they are born with. You must choose one of the Magical Attributes available at the Magic Attributes page.
- Grimoire Origin
Grimoires vary in style, size, width, and even symbols. You gain one of the following grimoire covers based on the kingdom you received your grimoire:
Clover. Your grimoire came from the clover kingdom, having a clover in it's cover, generally being of 3 leafs. If you have the Blessed magic feat, your clover will have 4 leafs. If you choose the Devil Host magic path, your clover will have 5 leafs.
Diamond. Your grimoire came from the Diamond Kingdom, having a diamond on it's cover.
Heart. Your grimoire came from the Heart Kingdom, having a heart on it's cover.
Spade. Your grimoire came from the Spade Kingdom, having a spade on it's cover.
- Grimoire Size
The size of a grimoire is defined by the potential and mana of it's wielder. Your grimoire will have one of the following sizes depending on your mana total:
Tiny. To receive this grimoire you must have a 10 or lower Wisdom score. Your grimoire is very tiny, showing your very small amount of mana. This type of grimoire is rare even among commoners, since it's a absurd lack of mana and potential. You have a number of spells equal to half your level (rounded down).
Small. To receive this grimoire you must have a 12 on your Wisdom score. Your grimoire is small, most commoners have this kind of grimoire, it has an ordinary potential but it's mana is still low. You have a number of spells equal to your level. Whenever you gain a level on this class, you have one new spell you can learn.
Medium. To receive this grimoire you must have at least 14 or higher on your Wisdom score. Your grimoire is medium, a few amount of commoners possess this type of grimoire while a majority of nobles have them. You have a number of spells equal to your level added twice. Whenever you gain a level on this class, you learn two new spells you can learn.
The following Grimoire sizes can only be obtained if you have the Coverless Grimoire magic feat.
Large. Once you have learned at least 40 spells, your grimoire reaches large size. You cannot carry your grimoire in your grimoire pouch anymore, having to carry it yourself or keeping it floating on the air at all times.
Huge. Once you have learned at least 50 spells, your grimoire reaches Huge size.
Gargantuan. Once you have learned at least 60 spells, your grimoire reaches Gargantuan size.
- Spells
While you have small cantrips that help you slightly during the day to day life, the spells you obtain with your grimoire will be what truly define you as a Magic Knight. All of your spells are automatically written in your grimoire as you learn them, with all of them costing mana points.
Learning new Spells. You can learn new spells at the rate described at your grimoire size. You cannot forget or switch a spell once you learned it. You must learn a spell of your current Magic Knight Rank, which is described at the Magic Knight Rank table.
- Creating Spells
Each spell a mage has is corresponding to his personality and generally follow a theme. Whenever you receive a new spell, you can create another spell or enhance one you already know. Regardless of what you do, you must use the Spell Creation system.
- Casting Spells
Casting spells can be both easy and hard at the same time. Some spells require you to make an attack roll or the target to make a saving throw. The saving throw DC and spell attack bonus are calculated as follows:
Spell save DC: 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.
Spell attack modifier: your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier.
Combat Style[edit]
Also at 1st level, you specialize in a specific style to destroy your opponents in up close combat. You must choose one of the styles listed at Combat Styles.
Your Combat Style grants you features at 1st level, and again at 6th, 10th, 15th, 18th levels.
Magic Flight[edit]
At 2nd level, you got the basics of Mana control down, so you became able to fly with objects. While on top of an object or vehicle that's not more than 1 category smaller than you, you can spend 1 Mana to grant that object flying speed equal to your walking speed + 5 times your proficiency bonus (no action required). You can fly on top of said object, and may keep hovering in the air.
You must spend 1 Mana at the end of every 10 minutes to keep the object flying.
You can only affect one object or vehicle at once with this feature, and may end your Magic Flight at will. This ends early if you have no mana remaining or fall unconscious.
Magic Power[edit]
At 2nd level, you start exhaling magic power. Magic Power originates from the soul, being a product of mana making its home inside of you.
Your magic power is equal to your level. However, your magic power can increase depending on your mana amount. For every 10 Mana you currently have, your Magic Power is increased by 1.
Magic Bullet. Magic Power grants mages the ability to use something called Magic Bullet. You can spend a number of mana up to your Spellcasting modifier (minimum of 1) as an action.
Make a number of Ranged Spellcasting attack rolls equal to the amount spent against one or more creatures within 30 feet of you. On a hit, they take xd4 (with X being your spellcasting modifier) of a damage type relating to your Magic Attribute.
This damage die increases to a d6 at 5th level, to a d8 at 11th level and to a d10 at 17th level.
You do not need to have your grimoire out to utilize this feature.
Magic Pressure. Mages can show their dominance and superiority by exerting pressure on others with weaker magical power. You can as a free action or as part of making an Charisma (Intimidation) check spend 1 mana to force one or more creatures (whose magic power is lower than yours) within X feets (10 times your magical power) of you to make a Strength saving throw. On a failure, they take xd4 (with x being your level) of a damage type appropriate for your magical attribute and gain a condition appropriate for your magical attribute. On a success, they take half as much damage and suffer no conditions.
Magic Forcefield. When a mage gets filled with overwhelming mana, they may choose to create a magic forcefield. Whenever you have at least 20 Magic Power, you can create a magic forcefield as a free action. The forcefield is a sphere that circles a 10 times half your magic power foot radius of you.
The Magic forcefield grants the following effects:
- You have advantage on spell attack rolls against creatures inside the Magical Forcefield, and creatures have disadvantage on saving throws caused by your spells while inside. The creature must have a Magic Power lower than your own by 10 or more.
- If a spell tries to hit a creature inside the Magical Forcefield, it automatically fails if the Magic Power of the user is 10 or more below yours.
- Whenever an object or creature whose magical power is 10 or more below yours starts their turn in the area, they take damage as if they have failed a saving throw against your Magic Pressure feature.
You must spend 5 mana at the beginning of your turns to keep this active. Also, you can deactivate your Magic Forcefield at will.
Your Magical Forcefield can end early if you are reduced to 0 hit points or knocked unconscious.
Magical Reinforcement[edit]
At 3rd level, due to your combat style requiring you to go out in the front lines, you have specialized in reinforcement magic.
You gain two Magical Reinforcements of your choice that you meet the prerequisites of.
You gain more Magical Reinforcements as you gain levels in this class, as shown in the Reinforcements Known table.
Ability Score Improvement[edit]
When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack[edit]
At 5th level, you can now attack twice instead of once when you take the attack action. This becomes three attacks at 11th level.
Resistant[edit]
At 7th level, your strength as a mage allows you to resist certain area effects. Choose one of the following ability scores:
- Brawn - Strength
- Evasion - Dexterity
- Endurance - Constitution
- Discernment - Intelligence
- Intuition - Wisdom
- Repulsion - Charisma
You can only choose the option associated with a certain ability score if you have a 16 or higher in that ability score. If none of your ability scores are at or above 16 you may only choose the one that is your highest, or any of your highest in the case of a tie. When you are subjected to an effect that allows you to make a saving throw of the chosen ability to only take half damage, you instead take no damage if you succeed on the saving throw, and only half damage if you fail.
At 20th level, you can choose one additional saving throw to benefit from this feature.
Reinforced Body[edit]
At 9th level, you have been using reinforcement magic so much your very body became more durable. You gain proficiency in Constitution saving throws.
Constant Reinforcement[edit]
At 13th level, your body is always under magical reinforcement. You add your Wisdom modifier to Strength, Dexterity and Constitution saving throws caused by spells.
Beyond The Peak[edit]
At 17th level, you have surpassed your physical limits, making you go beyond your own peak. You must choose one of the following peaks to overcome:
Beyond Might. Your Strength score increases by 4, and so does its maximum. Whenever you score a critical against a creature with a melee weapon attack, they must make a Constitution saving throw against your Spellcasting DC or have their AC reduced by your Strength modifier until the beginning of your next turn. A creature can only be affected by this feature once per round.
Additionally, you count as one size larger for all intents and purposes, however your actual size doesn’t change.
Beyond Speed. Your Dexterity score increases by 4, and so does its maximum. Whenever you take the dodge action, you roll three dice and pick the highest result for Dexterity saving throws, and creatures roll three dice and pick the lowest result when making attack rolls against you.
Additionally, whenever you take the Dash action you add your movement speed twice instead of once to your movement.
Beyond Durable. Your Constitution score increases by 4, and so does its maximum. Whenever you take damage from any source, you can spend a reaction to halve the amount of damage received from said source. If the total damage becomes smaller than your Constitution score, you instead take no damage.
Additionally, your hit point maximum increases by 40.
Instantaneous Activation[edit]
Finally at 20th level, by mastering reinforcement magic, you have learned a method to activate it without any effort. Once per turn on your turn, you can activate a Reinforcement Magic spell that targets only yourself or an object you’re wielding with no action required.

Starting at 1st level, your practice of martial arts has granted you mastery in combat styles that use unarmed strikes. You gain the following benefits while you are unarmed and you aren’t wearing armor or wielding a shield:
- You can roll a d6 in place of the normal damage of your unarmed strike. This die changes as you gain Combatant Mage levels, as shown below in the Martial Arts table.
- You can use Dexterity instead of Strength for the attack and damage rolls of your unarmed strike.
- When you use the Attack action with an unarmed strike on your turn, you can make one unarmed strike as a bonus action, assuming you haven’t already taken a bonus action this turn.
| Class Level | Martial Arts Die |
|---|---|
| Level 1 | D6 |
| Level 5 | D8 |
| Level 11 | D10 |
| Level 17 | D12 |
- Martial Techniques
Also at 1st level, you developed some techniques to aid you in unarmed combat.
Exchange Blows. As a reaction to being targeted for a melee attack roll, you can spend 2 mana to make one unarmed strike.
Flurry of Blows. As a bonus action on your turn, you can spend 2 mana to make two unarmed strikes as long as you've made at least one unarmed strike this turn.
Patient Defense. You can spend 2 mana to take the Dodge action as a bonus action.
Magical Step. You can spend 2 mana to take the Dash or Disengage action as a bonus action.
- Physical Superiority
At 6th level, due to the constant battles that you had up close with your opponents, you had to evolve your body to reach a greater physique.
Superiority Dice. You gain six Superiority dice. Your superiority dice is a d8. Whenever you use a superiority dice, it is spent. You regain all superiority dice on a short or long rest. You gain two more superiority dice at 9th level, and two more at 13th and 17th levels.
Superior Maneuvers. You know 3 superior maneuvers of your choice, being available down below. You can change a maneuver you know for another whenever you gain an ability score in this class.
- Perfected Technique
At 10th level, you've perfected one of the basic techniques you learned. Choose one of the following upgrades to learn:
Exchange Blows. The creature attacking you has disadvantage in their attack roll.
Flurry of Blows. You now make three unarmed strikes instead of two when using this feature.
Patient Defense. The dodge action granted by this feature now grants you a +2 to AC for its duration.
Magical Step. Your dash action now adds your movement speed one additional time.
- Battle Thrill
At 15th level, while in battle, you regain all of your energy just to fight! Whenever you roll for initiative and have no Superiority Dice remaining, you regain a number of them equal to your proficiency bonus.
- Relentless Barrage
At 18th level, you are unstoppable in combat, especially when you start attacking. If you take the attack action and hit all attack rolls, you can make one additional attack that must be a unarmed strike. These attack rolls must have been unarmed strikes.
Multiclassing[edit]
You cannot multiclass into this class. You must start in this class and multiclass it out.
