Class Features

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Duskblades are proficient with all simple and martial weapons, as well as all armors and shields (except tower shields).

Spells: A duskblade casts arcane spells, which are drawn from the duskblade spell list.

To learn or cast a spell, you must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level (Int 10 for 0-level spells, Int 11 for 1st-level spells, and so forth). The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against your spell is 10 + the spell level + your Int modifier.

You can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. Your base daily spell allotment is given on the table below. In addition, you gain bonus spells per day for a high intelligence

A Duskblade's Caster Level is equal to his Class level

Spells Known: You begin play knowing two 0-level spells and two 1st-level spells, chosen from the duskblade spell list. You also know one additional 0-level spell for each point of Intelligence bonus.

Each time you gain a new class level, you learn one additional spell of any level you can cast, chosen from the duskblade spell list.

Upon reaching 5th level, and at every subsequent odd-numbered level, you can choose to learn a new spell in place of one you already know. In effect, you lose access to the old spell in exchange for gaining the new one. The new spell's level must be the same as that of the spell being exchanged, and it must be at least two levels lower than the highest-level spell you can cast. For instance, upon reaching 9th level, you could trade in a single 1st-level spell (two levels below the highest-level spell you can cast, which is 3rd) for a different 1st-level spell. You can swap only a single spell at any given level and must choose whether or not to swap the spell at the same time that you gain new spells known for the level.

You need not prepare spells in advance. You can cast any spell you know at any time, assuming you have not yet used up your spells per day for that spell level.

Arcane Attunement (Sp): You can use the spell-like powers dancing lights, detect magic, flare, ghost sound, and read magic at will.

Armored Mage (Ex): Normally, armor of any type interferes with an arcane spellcaster's gestures, which can cause spells to fail if those spells have a somatic component. A duskblade's limited focus and specialized training, however, allows you to avoid arcane spell failure so long as you stick to light armor and light shields. This training does not extend to medium or heavy armors, nor to heavy shields. This ability does not apply to spells gained from a different spellcasting class.

At 4th level, you learn to use medium armor with no chance of arcane spell failure.

At 7th level, you learn to use a heavy shield with no chance of arcane spell failure.

At 14th level, you learn to use heavy armor with no chance of arcane spell failure.

Combat Casting: At 2nd level, you gain Combat Casting as a bonus feat.

Somatic Weaponry: At 2nd level, you gain the ability to use your weapon to cast Spells with a Somatic component in it.

Arcane Channeling (Su): Beginning at 3rd level, you can use a standard action to cast any touch spell you know and deliver the spell through your weapon with a melee attack. Casting a spell in this manner does not provoke attacks of opportunity. The spell must have a casting time of 1 standard action or less. If the melee attack is successful, the attack deals damage normally; then the effect of the spell is resolved.

At 13th level, you can cast any touch spell you know as part of a full attack action, and the spell affects each target you hit in melee combat that round. Doing so discharges the spell at the end of the round, in the case of a touch spell that would otherwise last longer than 1 round.

If the attack misses, the charge is held in the weapon as normal with a touch attack.

Dawn to Dusk/Dusk to Dawn Training: Beginning at 3rd Level, the Duskblade takes a choice between furthering his arcane pursuits, or bridging a duality between Arcane and Divine.

If choosing Dawn to Dusk, the Duskblade chooses 1 Divine spell from the Cleric Spell list to add to his spells known. The Duskblade can only choose a spell of a level he can cast, he cannot exchange this spell for another Duskblade spell, and he can exchange a Divine Spell for another Divine Spell. The Duskblade gains 1 extra Divine a Spell every 3 levels.

If choosing Dusk to Dawn, the Duskblade chooses 1 Arcane Spell from the Wizard Spell list to add to his known spells. The Duskblade can only choose a spell of a level he can cast, he cannot exchange this spell for another Duskblade spell, and he can exchange a Wizard spell for another Wizard spell. The Duskblade gains 1 extra Wizard spell every 3 levels.

Bonus Feat:At 4th level, the Duskblade chooses a bonus combat feat. He gains an extra feat at 8th, 12th, 16th, and 20th levels.

Quick Cast: Beginning at 5th level, you can cast one spell each day as a swift action, so long as the casting time of the spell is 1 standard action or less.

You can use this ability twice per day at 10th level, three times per day at 15th level, and four times per day at 20th level.

Still Day/Quiet Night: Beginning at 11th level, you can cast 1 spell each day as either a silent spell or still spell. Once you choose at 11th level you cannot choose the other option.

This increases by 1 for every two levels past 11th level.

Twilight's Eve: At 20th level, the Duskblade's intense training in both might and magic have blended into an overwhelming assault that can overcome any resistances.

Willbreaker(Sp):An amount of times equal to 1+intelligence modifier, the Duskblade can increase the save DC of his spell by 5 against an enemy he has hit in the previous round.

Dawn-Piercer(Sp):An amount of times equal to 1+intelligence modifier, the Duskblade can automatically overcome the spell resistance of any foe and also overcome any elemental resistances the foe might possess.
