The Magus Class v2.2.0 - Public Update! (Patreon)

Hey all, excited to share a fairly large update to my take on the Magus Class! A few significant balance changes to the base class and subclasses, including some exclusive new spells! 

As always, I’m open to any suggestions and constructive feedback you may have.

The Magus Class v2.2.0

The Magus (or Spellsword, Arcane Knight, etc) is the Intelligence-based Arcane counterpart to the Paladin and Ranger. Magi are those that combine spell and sword, never quite mastering either, but becoming a formidable warrior in their own way.

Arcane Armory. Now you get benefits for the different types of objects in your Arcane Armory. These items can now also be your spellcasting focus for Magus spells.

Esoteric Orders. The subclasses have all been streamlined, and the features have been readjusted so they are more friendly with Spellstrike.

Spell List. Removed a few spells that are problematic with the class (inflict wounds, etc) and added eight Magus exclusive spells!
