Weapon and armor Proficiency War Mages are proficient with all simple weapons and one martial weapon of their choosing. War Mages are proficient in light and medium armor as well as shields but not tower shields until level 4 and level 8 respectively any armor other than light incurs arcane spell failure as normal. When 4th level is reached casting a spell with a shield does not count as the hand being occupied for casting spells. This only effects War Mage Spells so a cross class casting other arcane spells would suffer full penalties
Stats Charisma is important as it is empowers their spells, Intelligence is also important as it effects the War Mage edge and other abilities. Strength, Constitution, and Dexterity of course don’t hurt either
Spell Casting War Mages are spontaneous spell casters and use charisma for their spell D.C. and bonus spells per day just like a sorcerer.
War Mage Edge
A War Mage casts damaging spells with great skill and power spells that deal hit point damage add their intelligence modifier plus ½ their War Mage level minimum 1. The notable exception to this is Cantrips they do not gain the ½ lvl only their intelligence modifier. This damage applies only once per spell so a spell that hits multiple targets such as Magic Missile only deals the extra damage once per spell the extra damage can be applied to whichever missile the caster wants. This ability functions only with War Mage Spells.
Sudden Spells
As the War mage increases in level he is able to modify his spells as if he had certain feats this functions exactly as the feat would normally and does not increase the level of the spell or time to cast. He can use these feats three times per day.
Advanced Learning
The War Mage can add any Sorcerer/Wizard Spell to his spell list at these levels if the spell is not from the evocation or conjuration school it is treated as a 1 level higher spell so web would be treated as a 3rd level spell for instance.
Bonus Feat
At these levels a War Mage can select a Fighters Combat Feat or any Metamagic Feat also a War Mage can choose a Familiar/Bonded Item or Eschew Materials. They can not get both a familiar and a bonded item even with cross classing but their level stacks with classes that also give one of them.
War Mage Sculpt Spell
At this level all area of effect spells a War Mage casts exclude x amount of people from the effects of the spell where x= their intelligence modifier. This functions for the duration of the spell so the aforementioned web the targets would be immune to it but only that web if someone else casts another web they will be effected.
War Mage Magic
A War Mage learns to modify his spells in such a way that any spell from the conjuration or Evocation school they cast get a +1 to D.C. and Spell penetration that stacks with spell focus effects. Also they are able to change the element of a damaging spell the cast 3+int modifier per day as an admixture evocation wizard.
War Mage Mastery
At this level he gains sudden maximize and his war mage numerical modifiers increase by 1 so 2 to dc etc. and 4+ for the admixture part. Also his War Mage Edge now effects cantrips as well, for damaging spells there is no longer a casting time change from using metamagic spells.
