 Arcane Knights are the exemplars of a particular school of magic, devoting their considerable intellectual and martial skills to protecting their chosen school with all their power. They tend to follow many of the stereotypes of specialist mages in their attitudes and habits but generally have more aggressive personalities. They enthusiastically defend the reputation of their orders and their chosen school of magic many times hiring themselves out as bodyguards to specialist mages of their own specialized focus.

Summon Familiar: At 4^th level an arcane knight may summon a familiar just like a wizard or sorcerer

Bonus Feats: An arcane knight may choose bonus feats from the fighter list of bonus feats provided the arcane knight qualifies for the feat. An arcane knight gets a new bonus feat at 5^th, 10^th, 15^th, and 20^th levels.

Spells: An arcane knight cast arcane spells, which are drawn primarily from the sorcerer /wizard list. He cast any spells in his spell book  by preparing it ahead of time, the way a wizard must.
 To learn to cast a spell, an arcane knight must have a Intelligence score equal to at least 10+ the spell’s level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against an arcane knight’s spell is 10 + the spell’s level + the arcane knight’s Charisma modifier. The arcane knight follows all of the spell casting rules of a wizard except that the arcane knight may only learn spells of up to 5th level.

Specialized Focus: All arcane knights focus on one of the 8 schools of magic gaining a special affinity for their chosen school. At first level the arcane knight chooses a school of magic to be his focus school. The arcane knight gains a +2 bonus on all saves against that school of magic and the spell focus feat for the chosen school.
