what damage does arcane assault do? precision? the same type as the weapon? does it count as magic for overcoming damage reduction?

Armored mage gives bonuses for wearing heavy armor, yet armor proficiency isn't a bonus feat the bloodline provides nor do you gain proficiency from the bloodline in anyway. so this ability requires 3 feats to become useful.

Bolster Enhancements isn't that great at 15th level when you should be using a belt of strength or head band of charisma, which do not stack with those spells.


Interesting way to go about converting the 3.5 thing of the same name. Good idea.

Edit: I just read it over. I think you're off to a good start, but I was hoping for a bit more. This is basically a sorcerer with more weapon and armor proficiencies. Plus the ability reduced ASF with armor.

To make it unique I might consider limiting the available spells. Perhaps Evocation and Abjuration are all available. Then the player picks one more that cannot be divination. Or something. i'm just thinking "aloud."

Perhaps so many times per day you can enlarge an offensive spell.

It's just untyped bonus damage. I did add a line explaining that it counts as a magical attack for the purpose of overcoming DR/Magic. Thank you! :)

And if you re-read the bloodline arcana you'll see that they get proficiency with heavy armor.

And I totally forgot to add something else to Bolster Enhancements, it also works for any enhancement bonus cast on a item you wield... Let me fix that...


End cap seems entirely martial focused.

Warmage's edge would have been a good arcana/bloodline power...
