Please keep in mind this is intended for Pathfinder.
The Arcane Warrior
Fluff:
Premise: The Arcane Warrior is the Arcane equivalent of the Psychic Warrior. They gain respectable spellcasting skill as well as martial prowess but lie somewhere between the two, acting as a jack of all trades (though less than a bard would). They have the ability to create and improve their own weapons, shields and armor but the skill is limited, and they must carefully managed their resource pool for this. As they progress along their career they find ways to link together their fighting power and Arcane knowledge, often choosing to improve one over the other or to combine them into an effective whole.
Races: Any race with access to both Arcane knowledge and martial skill can be an Arcane Warrior.
Alignment: Any. Both Wizards and Warriors have no universal moral codes, so those that dip into both fields share this trait.
Attributes: Strength and Constitution are important for fighting, but you can just as easily switch strength for dexterity to suit your build and taste. Intelligence is the only hard prerequisite as it controls your spellcasting.
Party Role: A hard one to figure out sometimes, you often serve best by flanking and supporting in a fight, and your versatility with the spells you know should help you cover the bases your party is lacking. You can fight up front but you wont last long, and you can cast but only as well as say a bard. Find a place between the two and you will be at your most useful.
Religion: Mostly either gods of strength, knowledge or magic, but not always. There are as many Arcane Warriors that spurn the deities as there are worshiping them.
Other Classes: You get along well with both Arcane Caters and font line Warriors but see them both as a bit narrow minded not to at least consider expanding their skill base. Other classes you judge on a case-by-case basis.

Class Abilities:

Armored Casting (Light):
At level 2 the Arcane Warrior can cast spells in light armor with no chance of Arcane Spell Failure.

Might and Magic:
The Arcane Warrior gains bonus abilities at level 3 and every 3 levels thereafter up until level 18. He can select one ability from this list each time:
Might and Magic Abilities
- Bonus Fighter Feat
- Bonus Wizard Feat
- Can make ranged weapons as well as melee weapons using Magic Weapon. Thrown weapons automatically gain the returning ability. This enables viability for the arcane archer prestige class.

- Increase BAB to full progression (minimum level 18)
Magic Armament:
The Arcane Warrior can create from his arcane energies his own weapons and shields. He can create any simple weapon and/or any small shield. He is treated as proficient in any weapon or shield he summons.
- The summoned weapon(s) and/or shield lasts one hour per Arcane Warrior level
- If summoning two weapons they must be identical (including magical effects when you gain access to them)
- Once the Arcane Warrior has chosen his summoned armament for the day the decision cannot be altered until the next day
- These weapons and shields are magical and have a +1 enchantment bonus per 4 Arcane Warrior levels
- These weapons and shields have no weight but can be destroyed, with hardness 10 and 10 HP. A destroyed weapon or shield cannot be remade until the Arcane Warrior rests.
- Shields have no Armor Check Penalty, Max Dex bonus or chance of Arcane Spell Failure. The hand it is using always counts as a free hand for casting spells.
- summoning the armanents for the first time in a day reuires a standard action for the first and another standard action for the second (or a full roud action for both). Summoning them at any point after that requires the same action as it would to equip or unsheath them normally.
- If the Arcane Warrior is disarmed or otherwise stops holding his weapon or shield it dissipates, taking the same required action time to renew (as if picking up, unsheathing, etc)
- Summoned Weapons counts as a weapon type for feats such as weapon focus and improved critical
- Summoned weapons and shields cannot be subject to spells that affect weapons or shields (Magic Weapon, Flame Weapon, etc)
- Summoned weapons and shields will not function in under the effects of antimagic unless the Arcane Warrior makes a DC 20 concentration check (one check for each piece of equipment)
Magic Armament Effect:
The Arcane Warrior can apply magical effects to his summoned weapons or shields. These effects are chosen at the time of summoning and cannot be changed until the weapons are next summoned (after the Arcane Warrior rests).
- The effects applied can be in any legal combination up to the maximum indicated (+1 at level 8, +2 at level 14 and +3 at level 19) for each piece of equipment.
- These magical effects last as long as the summoned armament does.
Improved Magic Armament
- The Arcane Warrior can now select any simple or martial melee weapon when creating his weapons, or a small or large shield when creating his shield
- The hardness of all weapons and shields increases by 5 and HP by 10
- Summoned weapons now count as any one material required to bypass damage reduction, and summoned shields count as any one material required to activate damage reduction. Once these have been set/used they cannot be changed until the armament is next summoned.
- Summoned dual weapons now need not be identical
Greater Magic Armament
- The Arcane Warrior can now select any simple, martial or exotic melee weapon when creating his weapons
- The hardness of all weapons and shields increases by a further 5 and HP by another 10
- Summoned weapons now count as any one alignment required to bypass damage reduction, and summoned shields count as any one alignment required to activate damage reduction. Once these have been set/used they cannot be changed until the armament is next summoned.
- The Arcane Warrior gains a +4 bonus when making concentration checks to maintain summoned weapons from dispelling or antimagic
Path of Might and Magic:
- All spells the Arcane Warrior casts now do not provoke Attacks of opportunity
- when making a full attack an Arcane Warrior can choose to cast a spell as part of that attack
- As a standard action, for a number of rounds per day equal to his Con modifier x Int modifier, the Arcane Warrior can summon an extra martial weapon that acts as if animated, moving separately from the Arcane Warrior within 30ft and attacking with his normal attack bonus. He cannot deliver touch spells through this extra weapon, nor does it gain attacks of opportunity or grant a free casting of a spell with a full attack. This weapon uses the Arcane Warriors saves but has AC 25 and HP equal to the arcane warriors caster level times INT modifier. The arcane warrior must expend a free action every round to maintain concentration on the extra weapon.
NOTES:
- No more dead levels now
- The capstone still needs tweaking.
- I am lacking the amount of Might and Magic options i would like (i was aiming for at least 2 new options every 3 levels)
- Early level Spell Points tweaked
If you have any ideas please don't hesitate to let me know!
The old Magic Weapons\Shields system I had, just in case you were curious:
Enhancement points:
The Arcane Warrior gains one enhancement point per Arcane Warrior level, or one for every two levels in other classes.
Magic Weapon:
The Arcane Warrior can create a weapon made of arcane energy for up to one hour per level. This can be any simple or martial melee weapon with damage die of 1d3 or less. This costs one enchantment point to create.
-This limit on damage die increases by one step every level, to 1d4 at level 2, 1d6 at level 3, and so on.
-The Arcane Warrior can also dual wield identical Magic Weapons. They must be simple melee weapons of damage dice two steps lower than your maximum (beginning at 1d3) and it costs 2 enchantment points to create the second weapon, which recieves the same enchantments as the main one at no extra cost. The normal rules for two weapon fighting apply.
-If the Arcane Warrior creates a Magical weapon they are not proficient in, they incur the normal -4 penalty unless they pay an enchantment point to negate it
-If disarmed or otherwise stops holding his Magic Weapon it dissipates, taking the same required action time to renew (as if picking up, unsheathing, etc)
-The Magic Weapon can be damaged and broken as if it had hardness 5 and 20 HP. Recreating the Weapon after being destroyed takes a standard action and an enchantment Point
-The Magic Weapon counts as a weapon type for feats such as weapon focus and improved critical, and as a magical weapon for overcoming damage reduction
-The Magic Weapon cannot be subject to Magic Weapon spells, Flame Weapon spells, or anything of the like
-The magic weapon will not function in under the effects of antimagic unless the Arcane Warrior makes a concentration check equal to ????
Magic Shield:
The Arcane Warrior can use his arcane energy to create a magical shield for one hour per level. This costs one enchantment point
-At level one this can only be a buckler. At level 3 it can be a small shield and at level 5 a large shield
-The shield has no chance of Arcane Spell Failure, no Maximum Dexterity Bonus, no Armor Check Penalty and is weightless
-If disarmed or otherwise stops holding his Magic Shield it dissipates, taking the same required action time to renew (as if picking up, re-equipping etc)
-The Magic Shield can be damaged and broken as if it had hardness 10 and 30 HP. Recreating the shield after being destroyed takes a standard action and an enchantment point.
-The Arcane Warrior is treated as proficient with this shield and always has a free hand when wielding it, but cannot use weapons in that hand unless he is using the buckler form.
Enchant Equipment:
All Magic Weapons, Magic shields and Light Armor worn by an Arcane Warrior can gain an enchantment bonus of up to +1 per 4 Arcane Warrior level. The Arcane Warrior can choose to apply other magical qualities equal to the total echantment he can currently apply to his Magic Weapon, Magic Shield or light armor in place of this bonus
-This does not extend to manufactured or natural weapons other than the light armor he is wearing.
This Bonus disappears when the Arcane Warrior releases or unequips the equipment, and it will only function for him.
-Applying or altering enchantments on any of your weapons, shield or armor will cost an amount of enchantment points equal to the enchantment bonus (or its equivalent) added or changed
Improved Magic Weapon:
The Arcane Warrior's Magic Weapon can now also be any exotic Melee weapon.
-Additionally the Arcane Warrior can now create two Magic Weapons within the melee martial category, or a martial double weapon. The normal rules for two weapon fighting apply.
-The Pair of Magic Weapons now need not be identical. They can now each be any simple or martial weapon.
-The Arcane Warrior can use different enchantments on each of them, tracking them separately under his Enchant Equipment ability
Improved Enchant Equipment:
-The Arcane Warriors' magic Weapon counts as any material necessary to penetrate damage reduction.
-The Arcane Warrior's Armor, Magic Weapon and Shield have their hardness improved by 5, HP improved by 10, and regenerate HP at a rate of 1 per round
-The Arcane Warrior's Armor no longer has any Armor Check Penalty, and its weight is reduced by half
Greater Magic Weapon:
-The Arcane Warrior's Magic Weapon can now be any melee weapon
-Additionally the Arcane Warrior can now use any two melee magic weapons or double weapon
-The Arcane Warriors' Magic Weapon no longer requires a concentration check to maintain within an Antimagic zone. This extends to his shield and armor enchantments as well.
