Arcane Colleges D&D 5th Wizards new option

This two Arcane Colleges introduce a new option for Wizards in D&D 5th edition.

The idea is to make wizard focused on different things than spell school, in some way this two colleges divide between themselves some of the bardic college of lore advantages.

The two Arcane Colleges are the College of Knowledge and the College of the Weave, they give features to the wizard when they would have taken Arcane Tradition features

The College of Knowledge is specialized in studying lore of every type, in copying ancient books, exploring ancient ruins and trying to make sure that knowledge will not be lost.

The College of the Weave is specialized in magical research and trying to use all kind of magics as manifestation of the weave of magic.

Fighter-Mage a missing old school touch to the 5th edition

  The new D&D edition has a lot of nice OSR elements. One that I feel missing is a proper treatment of the old fighter-mage.

  This article propose a new class for D&D 5th that tries to build a Fighter-Mage similar to the classical elf fighter-mage of AD&D 1st edition (or the elf of D&D Holmes or red-box).

  In the new rules (excellent rules by the way) the most similar character to the Elf F/M is the Bard (or some knowledge/magic version of the Cleric) but the feel is different.

  This class will be a very basic class, with few options since its versatility resides in spells selection.

  This class will mix the feature of the Fighter with no martial archetype and that of the Wizard with no arcane tradition benefits, some features of both classes will be gained at later levels.

Class Features
Hit Points
Hit Dice: 1d8 per Fighter-Mage level
Hit Points at 1st Level: 8 + your Constitution modifier
Hit Points at higher levels: 1d8 (or 6) + your Constitution modifier per Fighter-Mage level after first

Proficiencies
Armor: medium and light armor
Weapons: simple weapons, martial weapons
Tools:

Saving Throws: Strengh, Intelligence
Skills: choose two skills from either fighter or mage list

obviously this is just a draft, but I was missing the old Fighter-Mage.

Roll that dice and keep gaming
