Magic Warrior (Pathfinder Second Edition Archetype)

(mask design by teonova on DeviantArt)

Oh, you thought we were done with the Magaambya?

Don’t worry folks, I think this is the last one for a while, but in truth, this archetype has less to do with the school directly, and more to do with it’s founder: Oldmage Jatembe!

You see, Jatembe was many things, a preserver and innovator of magical traditions, a teacher, but also a warrior of good and righteousness, but he did not fight alone. Indeed, his 10 most trusted disciples were known as his Magic Warriors, each one wearing an enchanted mask hiding their identity as they fought and worked alongside him.

In the modern era, the tradition of the Magic Warrior continues, and while the original 10 came from disparate magical traditions, the modern version was codified into a blend of arcane and martial prowess best represented by the magus… Or at least, that’s how it was in First Edition.

That’s right, this archetype is also another relic of 1E moved forward into 2E, and with the way that Second Edition handles archetypes, it is now available to many more classes without further cross-classing or archetypes. The only caveat is that the class in question must be able to cast focus spells of some kind, meaning that one could play a paladin or warden-style ranger, but not a fighter, at least, not without some help.

But in any case, as we’ll soon see, this archetype focuses primarily on the relationship between the magic warrior and their mask, which was a highlight of the original archetype, so let’s get right into it!

The dedication for this feat, as mentioned above, requires at least focus spells, if not full casting. More than that, it represents donning the animal mask that will come to be their public identity as a magic warrior. They must never reveal their true identity, though others knowing them before they chose this path do not violate it. However, being revealed will require atonement and the crafting of a new mask and identity. In any case, at it’s base level the mask provides a minor ward against divination magic.

Tapping into the animal their mask represents, these warriors can briefly gain the senses and mobility of the creature in question, partially transforming themselves to do so.

Later on, they can fully transform into said animal, gaining the full benefits of doing so.

Finally, the anonymity of their mask expands into a proper ward, making them nearly impossible to detect with divination magic.

This is probably one of the shortest Second Edition Archetypes we’ve ever done here on the blog, but it doesn’t need to be super complicated, as the archetype adds the power of the mask from the 1E original to whatever character you’re wanting to play. On that note, while magus might be the “traditional” option, you’re hardly limited by that. After all, every proper spellcasting class and a few beyond have focus spells, and there plenty of ways to also gain primal spellcasting in addition to your primary tradition as well. However you want to build your anonymous mage is up to you.

Now, while this archetype is associated with the Oldmage Jatembe and the Magaambya, it need not remain so in your setting. If there is space in your own setting for a group or individual with magical masks that let them take on the aspect of an animal, then this archetype could easily be adapted. Heck, you could even adapt it to use different shapeshifting spells as well.

The ceremony of Masking, where a new troupe of magic warriors are named and they leave to quietly take on their new identities, is normally a very private and quiet affair. Not so when an omen dragon shows up in the middle of the public portion of the proceedings, heralding a vision that one of the new warriors will betray the others… and another will bring them to justice.

Born from a freak twist of magic and a distorted carnival mirror, Solageb was created as a twisted reflection of a powerful mage named Belagos who visited the carnival five years ago. Keen to hide his distorted features, the fleshwarped reflection hides is face with a mask, using anonymity to do good with his magic.

The invaders dealt a crippling blow to indigenous morale when they unmasked the White Lion and executed him publically, but with his final breaths, he asked the people to look for the ones who would succeed him as masked warriors and protectors, that their time would come soon. This inspired a whole new generation, and now rebellion is brewing.
