Spellsword

NWN requirements

Base Class: Wizard.

General spell school (no specialization)

General information

Spellswords, also known as spellblades, are arcane warriors; students of both blade and magic that combine their arts to retain the massive array of abilities of the mage and the prowess of a martial fighter. For either code, ritual, choice or dogma, their discipline forces them to abandon the use of conjuration spells and another school of their choice, but while they are not studying the fine details of magic, they are honing their skill with blade and staff.

Despite their name, spellswords are not limited in any way to the use of swords, though they do not start with any weapon affinity feat.

Mechanical information

The spellsword is a wizard path. A character can become a spellsword at character creation, turning the wizard levels into spellsword levels, as long as they have no school specialization. There is a way to become a spellsword after creation as well, though the method, and price if any, remains secret.
