Fighter subclass
Eldritch Knight
Blend weapon combat with limited wizard spellcasting.
Eldritch Knight starts by changing the normal Fighter play pattern through Spellcasting; Weapon Bond, giving the subclass its first clear mechanical identity.
Later features such as War Magic, Eldritch Strike, Arcane Charge expand that identity at higher levels, so the subclass has a clearer role in combat, exploration, utility, or support.
