{{intro|an [[Archetype]] of the [[Magus]] [[class]]}} ==Description== A sword saint spends his life focusing his training and meditation into a rapturous perfection of the use of a [[#Chosen Weapon|single weapon]], which is usually but not always a sword, channeling his arcane might through it in a dizzying and deadly dance beyond the abilities of even the greatest of mundane warriors. ==Base Features== A sword saint gains many of the features of a [[magus]]. Instead of a magus's [[Magus#Magus Proficiencies|Magus Proficiencies]], their 9th level [[Magus#Magus Arcana|Magus Arcana]], and their [[Magus#Spell Recall|Spell Recall]], [[Magus#Arcane Medium Armor|Arcane Medium Armor]], [[Magus#Fighter Training|Fighter Training]], [[Magus#Improved Spell Recall|Improved Spell Recall]], [[Magus#Arcane Heavy Armor|Arcane Heavy Armor]], [[Magus#Greater Spell Access|Greater Spell Access]] and [[Magus#True Magus|True Magus]] features, a sword saint gains the following features. {|class="wikitable" {{ClassFeature|Chosen Weapon|| A sword saint is proficient in [[simple weapons]] and in a single [[martial weapons|martial]] or [[exotic weapons|exotic]] melee weapon of his choice. A sword saint is not proficient with armor or shields and suffers normal [[arcane spell failure chance]] when casting magus spells while armored. At 1st level, a sword saint gains [[Weapon Focus]] with his chosen weapon as a bonus feat. }} {{ClassFeature|Diminished Spellcasting|-| A sword saint may cast one fewer spell of each level than normal. If this reduces the number to 0, he may cast spells of that level only if his [[Intelligence]] allows bonus spells of that level. }} {{ClassFeature|Canny Defense|CheetahSprint.png| When wearing [[light armor|light]] or no armor, wielding his [[#Chosen Weapon|chosen weapon]], and not using a shield, a sword saint adds 1 point of [[Intelligence]] bonus (if any) per magus class level as a dodge bonus to her [[Armor Class]]. If a sword saint is caught [[flat-footed]] or otherwise denied her Dexterity bonus, she also loses this bonus. }} {{ClassFeature|Perfect Strike|TrueStrike.png| At 4th level, when a sword saint hits with his [[#Chosen Weapon|chosen weapon]], he can spend 1 point from his [[Magus#Arcane Pool|arcane pool]] in order to maximize his weapon damage. Don't roll for damage - the weapon deals maximum damage. This affects only the weapon's base damage dice, not additional damage from [[sneak attack]], magical weapon properties, [[Magus#Spellstrike|spellstrike]], or [[critical hit]]s. If the sword saint confirms a [[critical hit]], he can instead spend 2 points from his arcane pool to increase his weapon's critical multiplier by 1. }} {{ClassFeature|Lightning Draw|ChainLightning.png| At 7th level, a sword saint applies his [[Intelligence]] modifier as well as his [[Dexterity]] modifier on [[initiative]] rolls (minimum 0). }} {{ClassFeature|Fighter Training|DefensiveStance.png| Starting at 7th level, a sword saint counts his magus level -3 as his [[fighter]] level for the purpose of qualifying for feats. If he has levels in fighter, these levels stack. }} {{ClassFeature|Critical Perfection|JudjemntSmiting.png| At 9th level, a sword saint adds his [[Intelligence]] bonus (minimum 0) on [[critical hit]] confirmation rolls with his favored weapon. In addition, the sword saint may use his magus levels in place of his [[base attack bonus]] to qualify for any feat for which it is a prerequisite. }} {{ClassFeature|Superior Reflexes|Displacement.png| At 11th level, a sword saint can make a number of [[attacks of opportunity]] in a round equal to his [[Intelligence]] modifier (minimum 1). This effect stacks with the [[Combat Reflexes]] feat. }} {{ClassFeature|Lethal Focus|life_sight.png| At 13th level, when a sword saint is attacking a [[flat-footed]] opponent, he adds his [[Intelligence]] modifier on damage with his [[#Chosen Weapon|chosen weapon]] (minimum 0). }} {{ClassFeature|Perfect Reflexes|FreedomOfMovement.png| At 19th level, a sword saint's [[initiative]] roll is automatically a natural 20. }} {{ClassFeature|Weapon Mastery|DivineFavor.png| At 20th level, any attacks a sword saint makes with his [[#Chosen Weapon|chosen weapon]] automatically confirm all [[critical threat]]s and have their damage multiplier increased by 1 (x2 becomes x3, for example). }} |} ==Progression Table== {{ProgressionTable|3|yes|no|yes |'''[[#Chosen Weapon|Chosen Weapon]]''', [[Magus#Spellcasting|Spellcasting]], '''[[#Diminished Spellcasting|Diminished Spellcasting]]''', [[Magus#Arcane Pool|Arcane Pool]], [[Magus#Arcane Pool|Arcane Weapon +1]], [[Magus#Spell Combat|Spell Combat]], [[Magus#Cantrips|Cantrips]], [[Magus#Detect Magic|Detect Magic]], '''[[#Canny Defense|Canny Defense]]''' |[[Magus#Spellstrike|Spellstrike]] |[[Magus#Magus Arcana|Magus Arcana]] |'''[[#Perfect Strike|Perfect Strike]]''' |[[Magus#Arcane Pool|Arcane Weapon +2 (flaming/frost/keen/shock)]], [[Magus#Bonus Magus Feat|Bonus feat]] |[[Magus#Magus Arcana|Magus Arcana]] |'''[[#Lightning Draw|Lightning Draw]]''', '''[[#Fighter Training|Fighter Training]]''' |[[Magus#Improved Spell Combat|Improved Spell Combat]] |'''[[#Critical Perfection|Critical Perfection]]''', [[Magus#Arcane Pool|Arcane Weapon +3 (speed)]] | |'''[[#Superior Reflexes|Superior Reflexes]]''', [[Magus#Bonus Magus Feat|Bonus feat]] |[[Magus#Magus Arcana|Magus Arcana]] |'''[[#Lethal Focus|Lethal Focus]]''', [[Magus#Arcane Pool|Arcane Weapon +4]] |[[Magus#Greater Spell Combat|Greater Spell Combat]] |[[Magus#Magus Arcana|Magus Arcana]] |[[Magus#Counterstrike|Counterstrike]] |[[Magus#Arcane Pool|Arcane Weapon +5]], [[Magus#Bonus Magus Feat|Bonus feat]] |[[Magus#Magus Arcana|Magus Arcana]] |'''[[#Perfect Reflexes|Perfect Reflexes]]''' |'''[[#Weapon Mastery|Weapon Mastery]]''' |maxspell=6 |sp1 =0 |sp2 =1 |sp3 =2 |sp4 =2,0 |sp5 =3,1 |sp6 =3,2 |sp7 =3,2,0 |sp8 =3,3,1 |sp9 =4,3,2 |sp10=4,3,2,0 |sp11=4,3,3,1 |sp12=4,4,3,2 |sp13=4,4,3,2,0 |sp14=4,4,3,3,1 |sp15=4,4,4,3,2 |sp16=4,4,4,3,2,0 |sp17=4,4,4,3,3,1 |sp18=4,4,4,4,3,2 |sp19=4,4,4,4,4,3 |sp20=4,4,4,4,4,4 }} [[Category:Archetypes]]
