Arsenalist

**Parent Class:** Spellweaver

*Utilizing their akashic arsenal these specialist spellweavers combine a greater focus on martial prowess with their spellcasting.*

### **Arsenalist Veilweaving**

An arsenalist wields their veils as an arsenal of power, amplifying their martial prowess. They draw their abilities from the kheshig veil list, and know and can shape any veil from that list. The arsenalist uses their Wisdom as their veilweaving modifier, and has a veilweaving level equal to their class level. The saving throw DCs of the arsenalist’s veils are equal to 10 + the essence invested in the veil + the arsenalist’s veilweaving modifier.

The arsenalist can only shape a limited number of veils per day. They can shape 2 veils at 1st level, and gain the ability to shape 1 additional veil each day at 5th, 9th, 13th and 17th level.

*This modifies the spellweaver’s veilweaving class feature.*

### **Arsenal Veils**

Whenever the arsenalist shapes a veil from the kheshig veil list with the [Enhanced (weapon)] descriptor, they can choose to treat that veil as an arsenal veil. Arsenal veils do not take up their chakra slot, and cannot be bound using their normal chakra slots. This ability does not allow the arsenalist to shape the same veil multiple times, but does allow them to shape veils that would normally be shaped in the same slot, along with any other veils they would normally shape in those slots.

### **Arsenalist Shifter**

Whenever the arsenalist would shatter one of their arsenal veils, a portion of the veils power persists rather than granting the arsenalist a bonus based on its chakra slot. When the suppression caused by the shatter ends, the veils return to their normal strength.

When shattered an arsenal veil persists, leaving behind a supernatural manifestation of the veil. The arsenalist can still conjure the weapon produced by the veil, applying any enhancements applied to the veil to the weapon as normal. This functions identically to the weapon normally produced by the veil but lacks any of the veil’s other special abilities, save for any abilities that would change how it is wielded. For example: veils that increased the arsenalist’s unarmed damage would still provide that benefit but not any of the other special abilities of the veil, such as with the Mark of the Wounded Beast, and would still grant the ability to wield the falchions created by the Swirling Sirocco in one hand.

For each point of essence burned as part of shattering the arsenal veil, the arsenalist gains a +1 insight bonus to damage rolls made with the weapon produced by that veil. For every odd point of essence burned, they also gain a +1 insight bonus to attack rolls made with that weapon.

The weapons created by this ability can still be otherwise sundered or suppressed by dispel magic and other effects as if they were a normal veil, being suppressed for their normal duration. The arsenalist cannot shatter these diminished veils.

### **Arsenal Binding**

At 2nd level, the arsenalist’s mastery over their arsenal allows them to more easily bind it for greater effect. Each day when the arsenalist shapes their veils for the day they can choose to give up one or more of their chakra binds granted by their low chakra binding, middle chakra binding, high chakra binding, or pinnacle chakra binding class features to instead gain the ability to bind one of their arsenal veils. If an arsenal veil has multiple chakras it can be shaped to, the arsenalist chooses which chakra slot they treat it as bound to when they shape the brand.

*This modifies the spellweaver’s low chakra binding, middle chakra binding, high chakra binding, and pinnacle chakra binding class features.*

### **Fighting Style**

At 4th level, when the arsnealist shapes their veils each day they gain the benefits of a single fighting style available to the kheshig. They may change which fighting style they are benefiting from each day. At 10th level, and again at 16th level, they can choose to gain an additional fighting style, or gain the improved version of a fighting style that they have already selected using this ability.

*This replaces the spellweaver’s bonus feats gained at 4th, 10th, and 16th level.*
