Our subclass winner for the month is the Bone Knight! This one's definitely going into MB&B (how could it not?), but will also be available for free because that's how poll winners work. The idea here is a fighter that makes use of osteomancy, bone magic.

First up, it's a 1/3-caster, so you've got a spellcasting feature. In this case, it's a 1/3-necromancer. It's not really meant as the definitive 1/3-necromancer; that'd probably get some minion features and/or some access to necromantic rites. Rather, you've got the full necro spell list to help you pad out your selections, but the focus is on osteomancy, which is largely direct-damage and light control magic. Our second level 3 feature is Bonetouched Blade, which gives you a scaling damage boost after you cast an osteomancy spell. At 7th, you get Bone Shell, which grants you an exploding ward to soak and deal a little damage. At 10th, Instant Osteomancy lets you cast osteomancy spells with a bonus action, though only once per rest. At 15th, you get Dreadful Magics, which forces disadvantage against your spell saves. And Champion of Bone is your pseudocapstone, offering buffs to 3/4 of your other features.

As always, you're invited to come discuss and offer feedback in the comments or on Discord!
