Eldritch Knight

Eldritch Knights study magic to supplement their weaponry, allowing them to overcome resistance from the toughest foes.

Eldritch Knight is one of the Subclasses of Fighter. These Fighters are more specialized in spellcasting (from the Wizard Spell List). They utilize their martial prowess and magic to attack enemies or support allies in combat. Eldritch Knights use Intelligence as their spellcasting modifier.
