Spellblade Subclass Poll! (+Spellblade 0.9)
Added 2023-01-18 09:05:52 +0000 UTCHey Folks-
I've updated Spellblade to 0.9.
The changes are fairly minor this time around:
- Innate Aegis now is gained at 10th level, and scales up to being the same as it was at 18th level previously at 18th level. This is a small buff in Tier 3 and 4.
- Splash Damage added at 18th level. This is pretty small effect, but helps make up for only having 1 attack.
- Blade Channel Aegis Effect added.
- Many spells added to the Spellblade list (synced to casting compendium).
This is largely around giving them slightly better scaling in Tier 3 through 4, and help to mitigate their 1 attack style in Tier 4 slightly, as well as bringing the spellblade spell list up to date (they were missing a lot of spells).
As I will be mentioning in all of my posts for a bit... I have a Kickstarter going live by the end of the month! It'll have the Spellblade in it, so if you want to see this class in print, make sure to follow it over here!
Now for the first Spellblade Subclass Poll!
Vote on your favorite options below for what you want to see as the next spellblade subclass, and feel free to leave any options you don't see in the comments below for future polls.

I think the "Splash Damage" feature is a bit underwhelming considering you get it at level 18. The second part is fine, but I think the first part is too circumstantial. Spellstrike is a high burst single target ability with cantrips and this doesn't seem to work so well considering most of the time when you want to AOE, you just use an AOE spell with the spellstrike. Also the "The spell fizzles and fails to cast if you cast another spell before attacking." is just too limiting, considering the action economy spellstrike already takes (bonus action and action). Casting a buff spell or the shield spell removes the spellstrike from your implement.
