Cannith Wand Adept of Eberron (5e Conversion)

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $1.99

Here is the Cannith Wand Adept, a reinterpretation of a classic of Eberron, updated and presented as a new Martial Archetype option.

In a time of innovation, arcanic tricks once limited to powerful Sorcerers and studied Wizards were tied to wands and rods, and made simple enough for anyone to use. Cooking, cleaning, and other household chores were made easy, but so were the darker arts of warfare and violence. Shots of flame and frost now arc over the battlefield from wands brandished by fighters with no arcane ability. These are the Cannith battle trained wandslingers; adept at combat, and skilled at slinging death from their magical weapons.

Playtest Material

The material here is presented for playtesting and to spark your imagination. These game mechanics are in draft form, usable in your campaign but not fully tempered by design iterations. They are not officially part of the game. This material should not be used in D&D Adventurers League events.

I'd be interested to know why you made it as a fighter as originally it was an Artificer/Wizard/Sorcerer prestige class. nothing about the original class was martially focused at all. it was only a 3 level prestige class at that for the sole purpose of using 2 wands and being able to activate them at once. it also used wands to give you action points and made the spell save DCs of wands stronger in your hands.

just the prerequisites for the class was all caster based. plus it was specifically a dragonmark prestige class, if you didn't have the mark of making you couldnt take the class.

its awesome that there's clearly a high level of Eberron support, but people need to convert loyally. there's too many "conversions" that are clearly made to fit a class the author wants to play and not truly what the class should be

Having read through this, I think there is some fun potential within this martial archetype, and it definitely feels distinct from the Eldritch Knight.

However, it does have a LOT of shortcomings.

Most of these come from the fact that the archetype's abilities strongly imply you will fight with nothing but wands - but, there is no incentive to go down this path when the wands themselves are going to stay so weak. Cantrips always as if cast by a 1st level character make your damage potential trickle into irrelevancy as soon as you leave the first tier, and getting your only first-level spell at 15th level is not going to feel rewarding for anybody.

Now, of course, this is a Fighter subclass and Fighters aren't exactly bad inherently. They get loads of ASIs and are proficient in all armour and weapons. But, the weapon proficiency means nothing when you're being guided to hold a wand in each hand, leaving only armour and a higher hit die to keep you from being a squishy caster....See more

Thanks for giving it a try! We put it up for free and called it out as in playtesting in the description because we know how much feedback and refinement it takes to get something like this perfected, and we're committed to getting it there. I want to call out a few subtleties that might adress what you're asking about- specifically dmg output and utility.

-The class gets DEX as a dmg bonus to its wand attacks, and gets to make them as weapon attacks, meaning extra attack, sharpshooter, action surge, sneak attack (with multi-classing) and more fighter options come into play boosting damage. Because its an attack action to use the wand with this subclass, it unlocks two weapon fighting at early levels (rapier in offhand) which also comes into play with the damage totals (Toll the dead for 1d12 + rapier offhand at level 3 is arguably strong). Lastly saving throw based attacks hit more than AC based attacks which means the average dmg numbers go up in the math. We think the slight damage dip (~10%...See more

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
