Protagonist Spellblade Features By Level
On your turn, when you score a critical hit with your Arcane Weapon Bond weapon or reduce a creature to 0 hit points with one, you can make one melee weapon attack as a bonus action.
Your Sweeping Strike is increased by an additional damage die.
The Shield of Fellowship has hit points equal to your class level. Whenever you take damage, the shield absorbs the damage instead. If this damage reduces the shield to 0 hit points, you take any remaining damage.
Shared Resilience: While the Shield of Fellowship has 0 hit points, it cannot absorb damage, but its protective 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 (to a maximum of its hit point total). If you cast a cantrip that targets an ally, the shield regains 1 hit point.
Protective Bond: When a creature you can see within 30 feet of you takes damage, you can use your reaction to channel the strength of your bond and have your Shield of Fellowship absorb the damage instead. If this damage reduces the shield to 0 hit points, the targeted creature takes any remaining damage.
While in this state, enemies ignore you as if you were not present if an ally is within attack range. When combat ends, you can make a final statement to an ally before your soul leaves your body.
