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 specialize in spellcasting, using their martial prowess and magic to attack enemies or support allies in combat. Eldritch Knights use Intelligence as their Spellcasting Ability, and learn spells from the Wizard spell list, favouring the schools of Evocation and Abjuration.
