Class Features[edit]

All of the following are class features of the spellblade.

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: The spellblade is proficient in the use of all simple and martial weapons and all armor and shields.

Spells: A spellblade casts divine spells which are drawn from the adept spell list. Like a cleric, a spellblade must choose and prepare her spells in advance. Unlike a cleric, a spellblade cannot spontaneously cast cure or inflict spells. To prepare or cast a spell, a spellblade must have a Wisdom score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a spellblade’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the spellblade’s Wisdom modifier. Spellblades, unlike wizards, do not acquire their spells from books or scrolls, nor do they prepare them through study. Instead, they meditate or pray for their spells, receiving them as divine inspiration or through their own strength of faith. Each spellblade must choose a time each day at which she must spend an hour in quiet contemplation or supplication to regain her daily allotment of spells. Time spent resting has no effect on whether a spellblade can prepare spells. Like other spellcasters, a spellblade can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Her base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Spellblade. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Wisdom score. When Table: The Spellblade indicates that the spellblade gets 0 spells per day of a given spell level, she gains only the bonus spells she would be entitled to based on her Wisdom score for that spell level. Each spellblade has a particular holy symbol (as a divine focus) depending on the spellblade’s magical tradition.

Summon Familiar: At 2nd level, a spellblade can call a familiar, just as a sorcerer or wizard can.
