So while reading the playtest I discovered it is similar to 4E structure as well so why not reintroduced Swordmage.

I'm far from finished but you can see what I have so far.

I'll transfer the google doc to this thread soon.

Didnt thought it would be that easy to convert Classes from 4th to Pathfinder 2nd, bu you convince me, you still have a lot of work to do, but if feel like the 4e edition Swordmage with the new rule set.

A lot of the power from classes can in fact now be feats or feat granting them as power using the Spell Pool mechanic.

I have a lot of classes we made for 4th and we would like to port over Pathfinder 2, I will still wait after the playtest to start converting as a lot of things would change. But thanks for your idea and will be waiting for you to finish your swordmage (I could use it as a NPC)

I haven't read the whole thing yet, but Swordmage Warding seems out of line with other class feats. Martials don't get to have a persistent +2 circumstance bonus to AC until level 12 at least (Fighter's Dueling Dance). You should make it cost an action to "Prepare the warding" and make a stance later on that automates the process.
