Spellsword

Spellswords fill an odd role in the world of adventurers, using magic to supplement their combat skills. They are typically forced to sacrifice offhand weapons and shields for the use of magic in combat.

Spellcasting
Spellswords are granted the ability to cast spontaneous Arcane Charisma-based learned spells from the Spellsword's Spell List.

Spellswords may only learn up to Int - 1 + ½ class level spells.

Gaining the Spellcasting abilities carries with it the automatic acquisition of the Prestidigitation spell.

Spellswords may cast their spells with the following stipulations:
 * Must have one hand free when casting spells (no weapon, shield, or other item).
 * All spells start at Skill Level 0, which is a 50% arcane spell failure chance.
 * Each time you successfully cast a spell, you may make a tally mark next to the spell. Each tally mark represents one point in that spell's Skill Level, and each point decreases the arcane spell failure chance of that spell by 5%.
 * When you reach Skill Level 10 with a spell, you are considered to have mastered the spell and no longer suffer from the arcane spell failure chance of this spell.

 * Bluff is now a permanent in-class skill. As a Move action, a Beguiler may make a Bluff check against a target's Sense Motive or Spellcraft check (whichever is higher).
