A while back before magus was on the horizon, I was inspired to build a class that could hit similar thematic notes - being a warrior-type character who wields some magic to augment their own abilities. This is the result.
Elevator Pitch
Anima Knight is a class that's fundamentally built around entering a mystical stance, charging up an animus resource, and then expending that resource for bombastic effect.
They've got a Smite basic ability, a Strike with flourish and an extra bit of damage, that serves as their basic "charge-up" ability, a subclass Ethos that gives them a choice of an initial stance as well as a basic universal method to extinguish any stance - because while the stances are strong, they also lock you in.
Anyways, here's a link to the always up-to-date Scribe. Feedback is always appreciated, especially via this survey.
