Mage Seeker (5e Subclass)
From D&D Wiki
Mageseeker[edit]
Unlike the Eldrith Knight you weren't trained to emulate the power of mages, unlike the Psi Warrior you do not rely on an ability you have had since birth, unlike the champion you do not rely on brute strength to win the day. No, you are a mage seeker, your sole purpose, the reason you are in this world is to exist as the antithesis to mages. You are here not to use their powers against mages, but to show them just how weak they are.

Interrupt
