The 5e Fighter Class
Reforged
Professional warriors, guards, or gladiators. Fighters hone their martial skill above all other classes. They use a variety of weapons and can push their bodies further than others.
The following is a revision of the 5e fighter class. It is meant to rebalance fighting styles and improve the fighter's ability to make saves at mid to high levels. Existing 5e subclasses will all work mechanically with this form of the fighter class. Click here for a summary of changes.

You have dabbled in the spellcasting available to more powerful spellcasters. Your own journey to acquire magical ability is slow, but you have integrated spells into your fighting style in a way few spellcasters can. Choose one of the following classes: Bard, Cleric, Druid, Sorcerer, Warlock, or Wizard. Your spellcasting ability is based on the class you choose. Bards, Sorcerers, and Warlocks use charisma. Clerics and Druids use wisdom. Wizards use intelligence.​​
​
Spellswords are known spellcasters, even if the class they chose for spellcasting isn't. The Spellsword Spellcasting Table (shown below) shows how many spell slots you have, as well as how many cantrips and spells you know. You can search the list of spells by class here or see full spell descriptions here.​​​​​
​
Spellcasting Focuses

​
Spellsword: Spellstrike
Once Pert Turn - 1 Creature - 5/Long Rest - Magical
When you hit with a weapon attack, you can channel a spell into your weapon, so long as your target is within the normal range of the cantrip.

You cannot choose a cantrip that already requires you to make an attack with a weapon, or one that requires you to make more than one attack roll.
-
If the cantrip requires an attack roll, such as with the Ray of Frost spell, the target suffers the damage and effects of the spell and takes damage from your weapon.

If the spell normally requires a saving throw, such as the Vicious Mockery spell, then the target rolls the saving throw against the effect as normal.
