Some notes on the design process of this archetype:

  • Tempest Weapon: I tried to balance this feature to be comparable with the combat superiority feature of the battle master, because that feature also gives a situational bonus to damage. Since tempest weapon lasts longer, I gave it fewer uses. Tempest weapon does more damage, but it's also less fancy, doing fewer complicated things.
  • Windborn Charge: I based this feature off of the Eldritch Knight's arcane charge. Flying isn't as useful as teleportation, so I gave it more range.
  • Cyclone Spin: I adapted this from the Air Elemental, I thought this would be a nice capstone ability.
