2. Its an increase sure, but not usually a 1-hit kill scenario at any point. Things get a little wonky with some weapon classes scaling, but otherwise the level 10 and level 15 stuff is usually like +6 to 10 dmg max compared. Some things I haven't crunched yet: 1) If I don't increase BAB can level 1 guys in level 10 gear even hit each other?

Class Features[edit]

Spellcasting[edit]

Preparing and Casting spells

The Blue Mage table shows how many spell points you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend spell point to create a spell slot of a given level, as shown in the table below. You cannot create a spell slot that exceeds your maximum spell level, as shown in the Blue Mage Table. You can't reduce your spell point total to less than 0, and you regain all spent spell points when you finish a long rest.

You prepare the list of blue mage spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the blue mage spell list and the spells you have acquired through your learning feature. When you do so, choose a number of spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your blue mage level (minimum of one spell).

You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of blue mage spells requires 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.

Spellcasting Ability

Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your bard spells. The power of your magic relies on your ability to harness the knowledge you’ve acquired from many creatures You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a blue mage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.

• Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Intelligence modifier.
• Spell attack modifier = your proficiency modifier + your Intelligence modifier.

Spellcasting Focus

You can use a light weapon as a spellcasting focus for your blue mage spells. When you do so, you can also use the weapon in place of the somatic component of the spell.

Azure Lore[edit]

You can can use your knowledge of blue magic to create different effects. You start with one such effect: Learning.

When you use your Azure Lore, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Azure Lore again.

At 5th, 10th, 14th and 17th level you gain a new Azure Lore effect, chosen from the list below. Each time you gain a new effect, you can use Azure Lore an additional time between rests. When you finish a short or long rest, your regain all your expended uses.

Azure Lore: Learning

You can use your action to try to absorb the essence of a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target makes a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, you gain a blue mage spell. The target automatically fails the saving throw if it is incapacitated.

You can choose any blue mage spell that meets the prerequisites. When you gain a new blue mage spell beyond your maximum, you can choose to replace one of your blue mage spells with the new one.

Azure Lore: Azure Enhancement

You can use a bonus action to increase the potency of your blue magic. For 1 minute, you have a +1 bonus to attack rolls and a +1 bonus to the DC of saving throws of your blue mage spells.

Azure Lore: Burst Affinity

When you or a friendly creature within 30 feet of you casts a spell that includes a hostile creature as a target, you can use your reaction to cast a blue mage spell, which is resolved after the initial spell. The spell must share a damage type or school of magic with the initial spell, and it must target the same creature as the initial spell.

Azure Lore: Chain Affinity

When you or a friendly creature within 10 feet of you makes a weapon attack, you can use your reaction to cast a blue mage spell against the same target. If the damage type of your spell is different to the damage type of the initial attack, you add your Intelligence modifier to the damage roll of your spell.

Azure Lore: Convergence

When you cast a blue mage spell that would target more than one creature, you may have the spell effect just one target of your choice. If you do so, increase any damage die dealt by the spell by one step (for example, a spell that would deal 3d6 damage would instead deal 3d8 damage), and if the spell requires the target to make a spell saving throw, the DC is increased by 2.

Azure Lore: Diffusion

When you cast a blue mage spell that would target yourself or one friendly creature, you can also have it effect four other creatures you choose than you can see within 30 feet.

Azure Lore: Efflux

When you cast a blue mage spell that deals weapon damage, you can reroll any of the damage dice, accepting the new result.

Azure Lore: Unbridled Learning

When you use Azure Lore: Learning, you can also use this effect to meet the prerequisites for learning certain blue mage spells. You must also use this effect again when casting such spells.

Blue Mage Path[edit]

Each blue mage may have learned their spellcraft from a few different sources. At 2nd level you choose one of these origins and follow the path laid out by them. Choose Path of the Dragoon or Path of the Immortals. Your choice grants you additional features at 7th and 15th level.

Ability Score Increase[edit]

When you reach 4th level, and again at 8th, 12th, 16th and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.

Blue Mage Paths[edit]

Path of the Immortals[edit]

Assimilation

At 7th level, you gain one additional use of Azure Lore between rests.

Enchainment

At 15th level, when you use Azure Lore: Chain Affinity, you can make a weapon attack as a bonus action. If the damage type of the attack is different to the triggering attack and the blue mage spell you cast, you deal extra damage equal to your Intelligence modifier.

Path of the Dragoon[edit]

Lancet

You can use a spear as an arcane focus and use it in place of the somatic component for a blue mage spell you cast with it.

When you hit a creature with your spear, you can immediately use Azure Lore: Learning against that target. If you do, you deal an extra 1d8 radiant damage to the target, you regain the same number of hit points and 1 spell point.

Azure Lore Spell List[edit]

You can acquire blue mage spells listed below when you use your learning class feature. Spells might have prerequisites that both you and the target creature must meet to be available to you.

Some spells have a prerequisite that the learning target has a particular trait or action. Where multiple traits or actions are listed, you choose one. This is known as the 'learning trait' or 'learning action'.

Weapon Attacks with Spells

Some blue mage spells allow you to make a melee weapon attack. In these cases, you are always considered proficient with the weapon it manifests, and it has the finesse property. As it is a weapon attack, add your Strength or Dexterity modifier to the damage roll.

Reproducing Learning Actions

Some blue mage spells allow you to reproduce the effect of a learning action. When you do so, you substitute your spell save DC for any saving throws used in the action.

Unbridled Learning

Some spells have the unbridled learning tag. You must use Azure Lore: Unbridled Learning to learn such a spell, and again when you cast it.

Equilibrium eq. The principal parameters – Threshold, Ratio, Attack and Release – are familiar enough, although we were pleased to note the inclusion of a wet/dry control for parallel compression effects. Its deeper qualities, however, are hinted at by the real-time waveform display, which provides an immediate visual guide as to where and how the gain reduction is taking place. In particular, the red-and-green colour-coding enables you to see the interaction between the attack and release, making it easy to determine where the compressor starts to distort at wave level.Tooled UpWhether you’re looking to move beyond the signal-processing tools offered in your DAW or want to augment your plug-ins folder with a precise and flexible set of mixing tools, we’d wholeheartedly recommend DMG Audio’s offerings.

Proficiencies. When you multiclass into the blue mage class, you gain the following proficiencies: Light armor, simple weapons, shortsword, scimitar
