The Fighter
The young guard quietly slipped past

his comrades out the back door of the

armory where the townsfolk were hiding.

A bandit gang had come upon their village

suddenly that morning, and their leader had

issued a challenge. If a warrior from the town

could best him in single combat, his gang of

bandits would leave peacefully. Even though

the young human had only joined the town

guard one season ago, he could already best

every other guard with the sword. To the surprise

of the townsfolk, he drew his sword, muttered a

prayer, and stepped forward to defend his home.

A graying dwarf surveyed the enemy camp as

the sun began to set. Along with three of her best

soldiers, she had made her way to the enemy general's

tent with the intent to rout the army or die in the attempt.

In a fully pitched battle, the small band of dwarves under her

command wouldn't stand a chance against this great host.
However, if her group of elite soldiers followed her orders to
the letter, they had a chance to cut off the head of the army
before it came to battle. For what could be her final mission,
she gripped her battleaxe and gave the order to move out.

At 3rd level, a fighter chooses one of the following Archetypes
that best represents their training and skills: Arcane Knight,
Champion, Commander, Marksman, or Master at Arms.
Arcane Knight
Arcane Knights supplement their skill with the armaments of
war with arcane knowledge. Compared to mages who study
only magic, Arcane Knights can only produce minor spells,
but, when combined with their deadly skill with the weapons
of warfare, these minor spells become potent enhancements.
Spellcasting
When you adopt the Arcane Knight Archetype at 3rd level,

you learn to cast minor arcane spells, much like a wizard.

Cantrips. You learn two cantrips of your choice from the
Arcane Knight spell list at the end of this Archetype, and you
learn an additional Arcane Knight cantrip at 10th level.
Spell Slots. The Arcane Knight Spellcasting table shows
how many spell slots you have to cast your spells of 1st-level
and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend a
slot of the spell's level or higher. You regain all expended spell
slots when you finish a long rest. For example, if you know
the 1st-level spell shield and have a 1st-level and a 2nd-level
spell slot available, you can cast shield using either slot.
