Okay, so a quick explanation on what an Armor Mage is. If you've seen the anime Fairy Tail, basically Erza Scarlet. If you haven't seen Fairy Tail, an Armor Mage is a Fighter who has access to a magical sub-dimension where they can store armors and weapons. Due to the magical nature of the sub-dimension they can switch between their stored weapons and armors in a flash using an ability called Requip.
When I first started on this project, I was going to make Armor Mage a full on Character Class, but ended up with a regular Fighter with an extra ability. Then I tried to make it into a Fighter Subclass, but ended up with basically an Eldritch Knight with the Armor Mage's Requip ability instead of the Eldritch Knight's Weapon Bond. Then a DM friend of mine suggested making it a seperate fighting style and when I rewrote Armor Mage as a fighting style, it sort of clicked for me.
Armor Mage
You can magically change your equipment around. You get one Armor slot per Fighter Level +1 and two Weapon/Shield slots for every Fighter Level. Changing your equipment while in combat is a Standard Action, at Level … this becomes a Bonus Action. (You can change weapons and armor in one single action.)
Adding a new armor to an empty slot requires you to put on the armor and meditate for half an hour, linking it to the magical dimension where you store them. Adding a weapon/shield to an empty slot requires ten minutes of meditation while holding the weapon/shield).
Thoughts?
