Sage Class Features

You have the following class features.

Athame

Sages use a ritual dagger called an athame when casting spells (excepting cantrips). This dagger is attuned to the sage himself and can be one of the following types:

Athame of Aim: Once per encounter as a free action, you gain a bonus to a single attack roll equal to your Dexterity modifier. You must wield your athame to benefit from this feature. This form of mastery is good for battle sages because it helps increase their accuracy with damaging powers.

Athame of Wounding: While you are holding your athame, your critical range is increased by one.

Defensive Athame: While you have your athame within five feet, you gain a +2 shield bonus to your AC.

Cantrips, Ritual Casting, & Spellbook
