Magus

Magus
There are those who spend their lives poring
over ancient tomes and texts, unlocking the
power of magic, and there are those who
spend their time perfecting the use of
individual weapons, becoming masters without
equal. The magus is at once a student of both
philosophies, blending magical ability and
martial prowess into something entirely unique, a discipline
in which both spell and steel are used to devastating effect.
As he grows in power, the magus unlocks powerful forms of
arcana that allow him to merge his talents further, and at the
pinnacle of his art, the magus becomes a blur of steel and
magic, a force that few foes would dare to stand against.

Cantrips
At 1st level, you know two cantrips of your choice from the
magus spell list. You learn additional magus cantrips of your
choice at higher levels as shown in the Cantrips Known
column of the Magus table.
Preparing and Casting Spells
The Magus table shows how many spell slots you have to cast
your magus spells. To cast one of your magus spells of 1st
level or higher, you must expend a slot of the spell's level or
higher. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a
long rest.
You prepare the list of magus spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the magus spell list. When you do so, choose a number of magus spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your magus level, rounded down (minimum of one spell). The spells must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Spellcasting Ability
Intelligence is your Spellcasting Ability for your Magus Spells, since you learn your Spells through dedicated study and memorization. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your Spellcasting Ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a Magus spell you cast and when Making an Attack roll with one.Spell save DC = 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spell Attack modifier = your Proficiency Bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Spellcasting Focus
You can use an arcane focus as a Spellcasting focus for your Magus Spells. You may also use your weapon as your arcane focus.class features:
You can also use this feature with any magus cantrip that requires a spell attack against a single target. If the cantrip requires a ranged spell attack, it becomes a melee spell attack instead and its range becomes touch.
The extra damage die changes based on the level of the spell slot used to cast the spell. The die becomes a d6 for a slot of 2nd level, d8 for a 3rd level, d10 for a 4th level and d12 for a 5th level spell slot.
You can only use each magic maneuver once, and regain all expended magic maneuvers whenever you finish a short or a long rest. Additionally, when you gain a level in this class, you can choose one of the magic maneuvers you know and replace it with another magic maneuver as long as you meet its prerequisites.
Some of your magic maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the magic maneuver's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows: Magic Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
The chosen spells count as magus spells for you and can be used with any of your other magus abilities, but they don't count against the number of magus spells you have prepared. You can add one additional spell of 4th level or lower from the wizard spell list at 14th level and one additional spell of 5th level or lower at 18th level.
If the spell has more than one attack targeting you, you can deflect further spell attacks from the same spell on the same turn without spending further uses of this feature, but you must make a separate spell attack for each attack deflected this way.
You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.
Additionally, you can use your Elemental Weapon feature as a free action instead of a bonus action.
You can move 10 feet and do a jump, immediately teleporting to the landing location. You can cover a number of feet up to your Intelligence score with this jump. If this jump would take you into another creature's space, instead you appear in an unoccupied space within 5 feet of it. If you end this movement next to a creature, you can cast a cantrip against it.
At 11th level, the distance covered by the jump increases to two times your Intelligence score. At 17th level, if this jump would take you into another creature's space, it must attempt a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Cast a cantrip that requires an attack against a target creature within range. On a successful hit, the target suffers the cantrip's normal effects. Regardless if you hit or miss, your image becomes blurred until the end of your next turn. For the duration, creatures that rely on sight have disadvantage when attacking you.
At 11th level, instead of becoming blurred, you are considered under the effects of the Invisibility spell until the end of your next turn. At 17th level, you are considered under the effects of the Greater Invisibility spell until the end of your next turn.
Numerous octarine tentacles spring from your hand towards a target within 15 feet. Upon impact, they attempt to close the distance between you and your target.
Make a melee spell attack against the target. If the attack hits and the target is a Large or smaller creature, you pull the creature 10 feet closer to you. If the attack hits and the target creature is Huge or larger, you can pull yourself 10 feet closer to it. After that, you can cast a cantrip against the target. At 11th level, the range of the attack, the distance you can pull other creatures (or yourself) all increases by 5 feet. At 17th level they increase by an additional 5 feet.
As a bonus action, you may choose a creature within 10 feet as your target. You have advantage on your next attack roll against that creature this turn. If that attack hits, you may add your Intelligence modifier to its damage.
At 11th level, if that attack hits you can make an additional melee weapon attack against it. At 17th level, you may cast a cantrip instead of making a making an additional melee weapon attack against it.
As part of the action to use this magic maneuver, you can move up to 30 feet in a straight line with opportunity attacks provoked by this movement made at disadvantage. After moving, you can make a melee spell attack at a target creature within 5 feet. On a hit, the creature takes lightning damage equal to 2d8 and if it's a Large or smaller creature you can push it away up to 15 feet.
At 11th level, the damage increases by 1d8. At 17th level, it increases by an additional 1d8.

At 11th level, if the next attack roll hits the target it also deals an extra 2d8 necrotic damage. At 17th level, the extra damage increases by 2d8.
When a creature is hit within 15 feet you, as a Reaction you create a protective barrier around it. The creature gains 3d6 temporary hitpoints for 1 minute. If damage reduces these hitpoints to 0 the barrier explodes. Each enemy within 5 feet of the creature must succeed on Strength saving throw or take 3d6 magical force damage, and be pushed 5 feet away if they are Large or smaller.
At 17th level, both temporary hitpoints and damage dies increase by 2d6, and enemies are pushed an additional 5 feet.
Make a melee weapon attack against a target creature. On a hit, your attack produces a blast of magic force. The first creature in a 30 feet long and 5 feet wide line behind the target hit must succeed on a Dexterity saving throw or take 3d8 force damage.
At 17th level you can target the first two creatures behind the target, instead of one.
You can fly up to your speed and cast a cantrip that requires a ranged spell attack against a target creature within reach. Any opportunity attacks you provoke during this movement are made at disadvantage, and after the movement you can land safely in an unoccupied space of your choice within 5 feet of the location directly beneath you.
At 17th level you can fly up to twice your speed instead.
As a reaction, you can project a magical force around your hand that lasts until the end of your next turn. For the duration of the magic maneuver, ranged attacks against you are made at disadvantage. If any ranged attack misses you before the end of the next turn, this effect ends and you can deal the damage of the attack to a creature within 10 feet of you.
At 17th level the effect ends only after two missed ranged attacks instead of one.
You coalesce an aquamarine blade of distilled pain, having the unique property of phasing through armor and carapace. Make a melee weapon attack, and treat your target's AC as 10 + their Dexterity modifier. On a hit you deal 2d12 psychic damage.

You flash forward with a blur of speed, advancing upon your foe with a series of lunges. You can move up to your speed in a straight line and cast a cantrip against up to 3 creatures within 5 feet of you during this movement. Any attacks of opportunity provoked by this movement are made at disadvantage.
Choose a target creature within reach of your ranged weapon. You can choose up to 4 other targets, as long as each target is within 30 feet of the previous one. Make a ranged weapon attack against each of those targets. Any of these attacks can be used with your Elemental Ammo feature.
Choose a target creature you can see within 120 feet of you. You teleport to an unoccupied space within 5 feet it, and then cast a cantrip that requires an attack against it. On a successful hit, the target suffers the catrip's normal effects and becomes frightened until the end of your next turn.
You call upon the wind to aid you. Each creature you choose within 20 feet must make a Strength saving throw. On a failed save, they are pulled up to 15 feet closer to you in a straight line and take 3d8 magic bludgeoning damage.
Light condenses on your hand, elongating into a lance of dazzling brightness, and then you throw it. Make a melee spell attack against a creature you can see within 30 feet. On a hit the creature takes 4d6 radiant damage, and must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become blinded and emanate bright light in a 30 feet radius until the end of its next turn.

To use this ability, you must have one free hand and be wielding a one-handed melee weapon that you're proficient with. Once per round when you cast a magus spell of 1st level or higher, as a bonus action you can make a melee weapon attack.You can also use this feature with any magus cantrip that requires a spell attack against a single target. If the cantrip requires a ranged spell attack, it becomes a melee spell attack instead and its range becomes touch.
Magic Sense
At 2nd level, as an action, you can open yourself to the Weave, allowing you to feel the magical power around you. For 1 minute, you can see a faint aura around any visible creature or object up to 60 feet that bears magic. You can sense the presence of a magic item hidden on a person, such as in a pocket or tucked into a boot. You can also sense a spell after or just before it is being cast. You know the spell's school of magic and in which direction it is, but you don't know who cast it. Your sense is blocked by 1 foot of stone, 1 inch of common metal, a thin sheet of lead, or 3 feet of wood or dirt. You can use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Intelligence modifier. You regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.Elemental Weapon
Starting at 2nd level, you learn to harness the elemental power of spells and imbue it in your weapon. Whenever you cast a magus spell of 1st level or higher that deals acid, cold, fire, lightning, or thunder damage, you can use a bonus action to imbue your weapon with the same type of damage. For 1 minute, whenever you hit with a melee spell attack or melee weapon attack, it deals an extra 1d4 damage of that type. If a spell has more than one attack, you apply this extra damage only to the first attack hit. You can end this effect early using a bonus action and you can't use this feature while it is already in effect.The extra damage die changes based on the level of the spell slot used to cast the spell.

Some of your magic maneuvers require your target to make a saving throw to resist the magic maneuver's effects. The saving throw DC is calculated as follows: Magic Maneuver save DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
Extra Attack

Spell Deflect
At 11th level, whenever a creature you can see within 120 feet of you casts a damaging spell against you, you can use your reaction to make a spell attack roll against the caster's spell save DC. On a success, the spell against you fails and has no effect. Any effects on other targets of the spell are resolved normally.If the spell has more than one attack targeting you, you can deflect further spell attacks from the same spell on the same turn without spending further uses of this feature, but you must make a separate spell attack for each attack deflected this way.

subclass options:
You can perform the somatic components of spells and use Spellstrike even when you have weapons or a shield in one or both hands.
When using your Elemental Weapon feature, add force damage to the list of possible damage types.
Additionally, while under the effects of your Elemental Weapon feature, whenever you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack it has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets other than you until the start of your next turn.
Additionally, whenever a creature you can see within 10 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to prevent all damage, and you take the damage instead. This damage to you can't be reduced or prevented in any way.
You can bond with one weapon of that kind which can be neither an artifact nor Sentient. You perform a special ritual over the course of 24 hours, which do not need to be consecutive and can be done during short rests. Once you have bonded a weapon to yourself, you can't bond yourself to another weapon and you can't be disarmed of that weapon unless you are incapacitated. You can summon that weapon as a bonus action on your turn, causing it to teleport instantly to your hand, even if it isn't on the same plane of existence. After you perform this ritual, you can't perform it again for 1 week.
While the weapon is bonded to you, it becomes Sentient and you must choose a name for it. (See the Dungeon Master's Guide, page 214 on how to create a Sentient item). Whenever you perform the ritual again, you always transfer the same consciousness to another weapon.
You can only use your Elemental Weapon feature when wielding your Chosen Weapon, and you must not be wielding another weapon or shield, but while under the effects of Elemental Weapon your weapon becomes magical for the purpose of overcoming resistance and immunity and you get a bonus to your attack rolls equal to half your proficiency bonus rounded down.
Additionally, you have advantage on Persuasion (Charisma) checks when making cordial requests or exhibiting proper etiquette.
You may use this feature a number of times equal to 1 + your Intelligence modifier bonus. You regain all expended uses after you finish a long rest.
Whenever a Magus feature requires you to use a melee weapon, you must instead use a two-handed ranged weapon that you are proficient with.
Whenever a Magic Maneuver requires you to make a melee weapon attack, you must make a ranged weapon attack instead. If it requires you to make a melee spell attack, you must make a ranged spell attack instead.
When using Spellstrike, you need no free hands as long as you're wielding a two-handed ranged weapon. Additionally, if you use Spellstrike with a cantrip that requires a ranged spell attack, it doesn't become a melee weapon attack and its range doesn't change.
