You can perform the somatic components of spells even if you are holding a weapon or shield in one or both hands.

When you attack, you can teleport up to 10 feet to an unoccupied space you can see before each attack. If you attack at least two different creatures with the action, you can make one additional attack against a third creature.

You gain the ability to place a baleful curse on a creature. As a bonus action, choose one creature you can see within 30 feet. The target is cursed for 1 minute. The curse ends early if the target dies, you die, or you are incapacitated.

Until the curse ends, you gain the following benefits: you gain a bonus to damage rolls against the cursed target equal to your proficiency bonus; any attack roll you make against the cursed target is a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 on the d20; if the cursed target dies, you regain hit points equal to your warlock level plus your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1 hit point).

You can use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier per long rest.

When the creature cursed by your Hexblade's Curse dies, you can apply the curse to a different creature you can see within 30 feet, provided you aren't incapacitated.

When you apply the curse in this way, you do not regain hit points from the death of the previously cursed creature.

Sacred Sentient Bond Upgrade (14th Level Feature)

Lullaby Spellblade Features

Lullaby Spellblade

The Lullaby Spellblade is a blend of bardic magic and martial mastery, known for wielding a weapon with elegance while channeling the calming influence of their melodic magic.

Their spells and techniques revolve around weaving haunting lullabies that can lull enemies into slumber or weaken their resolve, while simultaneously bolstering the morale of their allies. The Lullaby Spellblade seamlessly moves between offensive and defensive roles, often taking advantage of opponents caught in a moment of magical drowsiness.

Training in War and Song (1st Level Feature)

You gain proficiency in the Performance skill if you do not already have it. If you are already proficient, you gain expertise in the Performance skill.

You have advantage on Constitution saving throws that you make to maintain your concentration on a spell. While concentrating on a spell, you gain resistance to non-magical bludgeoning, slashing, and piercing damage.

Bladesong (3rd Level Feature)

You can invoke an elven magic called the Bladesong, provided that you aren't wearing medium or heavy armor or using a shield. It graces you with supernatural speed, agility, and focus.

You can use a bonus action to start the Bladesong, which lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are incapacitated, if you don medium or heavy armor or a shield, or if you use two hands to make an attack with a weapon. You can also dismiss the Bladesong at any time (no action required).

While your Bladesong is active, you gain the following benefits: you gain a bonus to your AC equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1); your walking speed increases by 10 feet; you have advantage on Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks; and you gain a bonus to any Constitution saving throw you make to maintain your concentration on a spell equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1). You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Hypnotic Flourish (6th Level Feature)

When you cast Sword Burst using your Sweeping Strike feature, each creature that takes damage from the spell must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw against your spell save DC or fall unconscious until the start of your next turn. The effect ends early if the creature takes damage or another creature uses an action to wake it.

While unconscious in this way, the first melee attack that hits the creature is a critical hit.

Song of Defense (10th Level Feature)

You can direct your magic to absorb damage while your Bladesong is active. When you take damage, you can expend one spell slot and reduce that damage to you by an amount equal to five times the spell slot's level.

Ancient Lullaby (14th Level Feature)

While Bladesong is active, when you cast a spell that causes a creature to become unconscious, frightened, or charmed, you can choose a second target within 60 feet of the original. That target must succeed on the same saving throw or be affected as well.

Resonant Strike (19th Level Feature)

Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend a spell slot to deal additional psychic damage equal to 2d8 per level of the spell slot expended.

Paladin Spellblade Features

Paladin Spellblade

A Paladin Spellblade merges divine power with martial skill, wielding weapons infused with holy energy. They channel divine magic into their strikes, balancing offense and defense. Whether smiting foes or fortifying allies, a Paladin Spellblade symbolizes hope and justice.

Players might choose a Paladin Spellblade for its blend of righteous devotion and dynamic combat. This archetype suits those seeking a versatile character who excels in melee combat while offering healing or utility magic.

Divine Purpose (1st Level Feature)

You choose one skill from the following list that reflects your paladin's oath: Insight, Persuasion, Religion, or Athletics. You gain proficiency in the chosen skill.

In addition, you know the Shield of Faith spell. This spell does not count against your spells known and can be cast without expending a spell slot.

Lay on Hands (3rd Level Feature)

Your blessed touch can heal wounds. You have a pool of healing power that replenishes when you take a long rest. With that pool, you can restore a total number of hit points equal to five times your Paladin level.

As a bonus action, you can touch a creature (including yourself) and draw power from this pool to restore hit points, up to the maximum amount remaining in the pool.

You can also expend 5 hit points from the pool to remove the Poisoned, Blinded, Charmed, Deafened, Frightened, Paralyzed, or Stunned condition from the creature; these points do not also restore hit points.

Aura of Courage (6th Level Feature)

Whenever you or a friendly creature within 10 feet of you must make a saving throw, that creature gains a bonus to the saving throw equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of +1). You must be conscious to grant this bonus.

If another Paladin is present, a creature can benefit from only one aura of the same type at a time; the creature chooses which aura applies.

At 18th level, the range of your aura increases to 30 feet.

Radiant Strikes (10th Level Feature)

Your strikes now carry supernatural power. When you hit a target with an attack using a weapon or an unarmed strike, the target takes an extra 1d8 radiant damage.

Defend the Weak (14th Level Feature)

You can turn defense into a sudden strike. When you or another creature you can see within 60 feet is hit by an attack, you can use your reaction to cast Shield of Faith on them.

Shield of the Righteous (19th Level Feature)

While your Shield of Faith is active on a creature, they gain resistance to all damage.

Protagonist Spellblade Features

Protagonist Spellblade

The Protagonist Spellblade enhances your character’s narrative in any campaign. The power of friendship turns allies into meaningful combat strength, while a tragic history adds depth to your backstory and resilience against mental assaults.

Plot Armor, a narrative device ensuring your heroic impact endures, transforms you into a symbol of drama and heroism—your presence on the battlefield is unforgettable.

Heroic Legacy (1st Level Feature)

You gain proficiency in the Intelligence (History) skill, and you can use your Charisma modifier in place of your Intelligence modifier for History checks.

In addition, on your turn when you score a critical hit with your Arcane Weapon Bond weapon or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with it, you can make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action.

Empowered Strike (3rd Level Feature)

When you hit a creature with your Arcane Weapon Bond weapon, you can choose to have all damage dealt by the attack become force damage.

At 10th level, if an ally is within 10 feet of you, the target takes 1d8 extra force damage. In addition, your Sweeping Strike is increased by an additional damage die.

Shield of Fellowship (6th Level Feature)

Your unwavering bonds with your allies manifest as a protective aura that shields you from harm. When you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that enhances or protects your allies, you can create a Shield of Fellowship that lasts until you finish a long rest.

The Shield of Fellowship has hit points equal to your class level. Whenever you take damage, the shield absorbs that damage instead. If the damage reduces the shield to 0 hit points, you take any remaining damage.

Shared Resilience: While the shield has 0 hit points, its magic remains dormant. Whenever you cast a spell of 1st level or higher that benefits or heals an ally, the shield regains hit points equal to twice the level of the spell (up to its maximum). Casting a cantrip that targets an ally regains 1 hit point for the shield.

Protective Bond: When a creature you can see within 30 feet takes damage, you can use your reaction to have your Shield of Fellowship absorb the damage instead. If this reduces the shield to 0 hit points, any remaining damage affects the creature.

Unyielding Resolve (10th Level Feature)

Your journey and trials have hardened your spirit and sharpened your mind. You gain proficiency in Wisdom saving throws and resistance to psychic damage, as your unwavering determination shields you from mental assaults.

Plot Armor (14th Level Feature)

You cannot be knocked unconscious at 0 hit points. When you take damage while at 0 hit points, you gain one failed death saving throw as if you were unconscious. If you accumulate three failed death saving throws, you die, but you remain conscious and can continue taking turns for the remainder of combat.

While in this state, enemies ignore you as if you were not present if an ally is within attack range. When combat ends, you may make a final statement to an ally before your soul departs your body.

Heroic Charge (19th Level Feature)

Once per long rest, when you roll initiative, you gain a bonus turn. You can immediately take one action and one bonus action before any other creature acts.
