Arcane Armsman

A young elven man sits peacefully under a tree on the side of the road. As a group of bandits emerge from the shadows, trying to take advantage of this unarmed traveler, the elven man snaps his fingers. Within seconds, a full suit of glistening white platemail apparates onto his body, and a massive greatsword covered in runes appears in his hands.

Surrounded by two huge trolls, a goliath stands firm with his two scimitars glowing brightly in his hands. With one fluid movement he launches one of his scimitars, sinking it deeply into one of the troll’s head. It stops in its tracks, screeching in pain as it struggles to remove the blade. He turns to the other, sword in hand, ready to face it one-on-one.

Three humans stare in awe at the gaping maw of an ancient red dragon. They see a bright, burning glow begin to emerge from its throat, and prepare to meet their gods. As the blazing fury of fire billows around them, they remain unharmed. Standing firmly in front of them clad in a knight’s breastplate, a woman’s shield is glowing red hot, blocking them from its destruction.

An arcane armsman combines their natural fighting abilities with long, intensive studies of the arcane. Unlike traditional magic users, armsmen use their powers to augment their weapons, armor, and bodies to push themselves beyond their limit in combat.
