# House of Pawns

By far the most prominent warmage House is that  
of the Pawns. Warmages which join the House of  
Pawns learn to stretch their skill with cantrips to its  
limits. Pawns can master any cantrip or trick known  
to the other warmage houses, for they embody the  
adaptability all warmages aspire to.  
PROMOTION  
When you choose this house at 3rd level, you gain  
the adaptability of the quintessential warmage.  
You learn one warmage trick of your choice, which  
doesn’t count against your total number of warmage  
tricks known. Additionally, whenever you learn a  
warmage trick, you can learn tricks which have the  
House of Bishops, House of Kings, House of Knights,  
or House of Rooks as a prerequisite, so long as you  
meet all of the tricks other prerequisites.  
ADAPTIVE ARCANIST  
Also at 3rd level, you learn to emulate the spellcasting  
prowess of other warmages. When you finish a short  
or long rest, choose one warmage cantrip. You learn  
this cantrip, which doesn’t count against the total  
number of warmage cantrips you can learn, until you  
choose a different one with this feature.  
PAWN STORM  
Beginning at 7th level, when you cast a cantrip  
targeting a creature, you don’t provoke opportunity  
attacks from that creature for the rest of the turn,  
whether you deal damage using the cantrip or not.  
ADDITIONAL ARCANE FIGHTING STYLE  
At 10th level, you can choose a second option from  
the Arcane Fighting Style class feature.  
OPENING MOVE  
Starting at 15th level, you can add your Intelligence  
modifier to your initiative rolls. Additionally, when  
you roll initiative and you are not surprised, you can  
move up to your movement speed.  
FUNDAMENTAL MASTERY  
Starting at 18th level, your magic always finds its way  
to your foes most vulnerable spots. Once on each  
turn when you roll damage for a warmage cantrip,  
you can choose to replace one damage die roll with  
the maximum possible result.
