Arcane Forger

The Arcane Forger, also known as a Projection Warrior, is a fighter subclass that is available for campaigns set in Tynaria Alt. Arcane Forgers are unique not in the way they fight per se, but rather how they acquire the tools for their combat. They are Conjuration and Transmutation specialists, an offshoot of Eldritch Knights. Specifically, they have the ability to "project" weapons into their hands. These weapons are magical in nature and are essentially bound to the fighter.   For statblock and character creation, click here  

Origins

Conjuration magic and Transmutation magic have been around since the first mages. In martial combat, conjuration can be used to summon offensive effects or even summon other-worldly aid. Transmutation can change the prhysical or even magical properties of an object. Arcane Forgers combine and specify these schools of magic into a dedicated form of fighting. Due to this more specific and complex form of magic, this fighting style  

Abilities

Arcane Forgers' signature abilities is what is known by practicioners as Projection magic. They have the ability to conjure weapons into their hands. These weapons are magical and can't be disarmed from the fighter's hands. Additionally, even when out of projections, these warriors can use seemingly anything as a weapon. They have a special form of the originally druidic spell, Shillelagh, that can be applied to seemingly anything, such as onto a flimsy tree branch. And if they have any weapon in their hands, that weapon can be strengthened to become more effective in combat. Swords will cut cleaner, spears can stab further, and maces can crush harder.   Later on, with more experience, Arcane Forgers gain the ability to make copies of weapons and store their designs in their minds. While this may be used to make projections of an heirloom that they don't want to risk destroying, its most notable usage is to make copies of magic weapons and later project them into their hands when needed. Even though the projected magic weapons are "fakes," they function like the original version down to its composition (the main exception being their non-permanence). It's possible to obtain the design of a magic weapon just by simply studying about one for some time.   The most powerful Arcane Forgers have the ability to conjure multiple weapons at once, which they can then catapult towards their enemies. Their minds and the designs of weapons are tightly intertwined, which makes projection easier and easier. The most powerful of warriors can even project a mighty Vorpal Sword into their hands, despite never actually owning one. These warriors have weaponcraft practically fused into their mind and souls. Some say they dream of swords...
