RACIAL POWER

Lethal

Once per battle, reroll a melee attack and use the roll you prefer as the result

TALENTS

Weapon Finesse

You can use Dexterity for melee attacks with one-handed weapons in place of Strength. In addition, whenever you roll a natural even on an attack during your turn, you gain a bonus to disengage checks equal to the current escalation die until the start of your next turn..

Sigil Mastery

You gain one sigil of your level or lower. In addition, you can use sigils against nearby targets instead of engaged targets.

Talent for Magic

You can use one of your eldritch knight spell choices to choose any spell of your level or lower from the class you chose to access magic from (see Access to Magic). You only get one such equal-level class spell at a time; all others have to be purchased using the 2- level penalty in the Access to Magic class feature describe above.

CLASS FEATURES

Access to Magic

Choose another spellcasting character class. Starting at 3rd level, you can take a spell from that class in place of an eldritch knight spell that is 2 levels higher than it. For example, you can take a 1st level sorcerer spell in place of a 3rd level eldritch knight spell. You cannot take spells that come from class talents. You also gain the wizard cantrip Arcane Mark, and can use it at-will.

Warrior's Skill

You can take one fighter flexible maneuver of your level or lower in place of an eldritch knight spell. This replaces one of your existing eldritch knight spells. You can even take all the feats related to the flexible maneuver you took to reach its maximum potential.

BASIC RULES

Sigils: Most of the eldritch knight's spells come in the form of sigils. Like runes, sigils grant magical effects to items and weapons. However, eldritch knight are able to release the hidden potential of their magic.
When using a sigil, you first spend a quick action to imbue these sigils on an item or a creature. Once imbued, at any point during the encounter you can then either dismiss them as a quick action or release the true power of these sigils, usually as a standard action. Once released, you can only regain your sigil after a daily heal-up.
Sigils normally disappear after 5 minutes or at the end of battle (whichever comes first), and can be used again later in the day if you imbue them but don’t release them. You can only have one sigil active at any given time.
Sigils imbued on enemies can be resisted by them, and thus are usually save end sigils. Dismissing the imbued spell causes the enemy to automatically save against the effects of the sigil with no side effects.
