Class idea: Card Magician/ Card magic / fireforce joker style class

[LukeTheNuke123]

This is a simple one only cause i dont have much to say myself that i partially based on fireforces character, joker but also on the spray of cards spell that exists in 5e and the 5e spells mod with i kinda like the idea of a NORMAL HUMAN who gets just a list of spells revolving around their cards and nothing more because in truth, they have NO magic but just these magic cards they know how to make meaning their like an artificer but instead of making enchanted machines that come to life, they enchant cards to be able to be used as they see fit. 

Now then as for the idea of how the class would work on a techincal level, you would get a the ability to use ALL cantrips and learn them all because this would be a wizard class and you would get one multi option cantrip called flying card that at base does force damage and is almost like eldtrich blast but just one projectile with its other options are based on what damage types you have available from the cantrips you learned meaning if you have firebolt, this cantrip can than use fire or if you have acid splash, this cantrip gets acid damage and it works based on EITHER an attack roll at base, it has a dexterity save option and lastly, it has a wisdom save option called homing card BUT this takes concentration and both your action and bonus action meaning if you were focusing on something, you need to drop it AND give up all actions this turn but its GUARANTEED damage like homing missile with the only question being how much it will do.

From there, your spells wont be too in depth in one regard as magic missile will be reflavored to swarm of cards, cloud of daggers to cloud of cards, there would be spray of cards from the 5e or mystra spells mod, and than blade wall becomes card wall, and lastly blade of doom becomes card of doom. from there you can like with your cantrip, add damage types to your attacks based on what spells with those same damage types you have learned like the scribe wizard class meaning even if you have a level 2 spell that does fire, you need a level 3 spell to make your level 3 spells do that fire damage with than you also get 3 extra spells with 2 are just more reflavored spells but also of course with now options between what damage types for one with blasting card in place of chromatic orb and exploding card in place of fire ball with the last extra spell would be one called card shot that can be upcast from level 1 with its main benefits from upcasting ends at level 5 spell slots being it is a line attack that a gain, does the damage you want it to do and up to level 5, you gain an extra card each level to send out in a line with past level 5, the damage and range go up.

All in all, i LOVED this concept of a guy whos not actually a wizard or sorcerer but just a normal guy who learned how to enchant a deck of cards with some interesting telekinesis magic and rolled with it as a 'MAGICIAN' so he isnt techincally lying as magicians dont NECESSARILY need to be able to use magic themselves while still marketing their street talents as MAGIC and if someone more skilled than me could make this class into a reality, i would be much appriciative especially if you tagged this post with a link to the mod cause HOLY s#*! I WOULD INSTA DOWNLOAD THAT THING.............
