This subclass has progression to level 20. You don't need a mod to increase the level cap, you just won't get the level 13-20 features
Multiclassing with Warlock (or another class/subclass that uses Warlock Spell Slots) will result in only having the spell slots from whichever has the highest level slots unlocked. This is not a bug, this is a consequence of how Warlock is designed.
Subclass Features:
Sanguine Offering:
3rd-level Witch Knight feature
Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you canexpend one of your Fighter Hit Dice as part of the attack todeal an additional 1d10 Necrotic damage to the target, in addition to the normal damage of your weapon.
- Since Hit Dice don't exist in Baldur's Gate 3, I've instead given it charges equal to half the Fighter's level, restored on Long Rest
- Sanguine Offering: deals weapon damage +1d10 Necrotic damage, usable once per turn; does not use charges on miss
- Progression:
- Level 3: 1st Sanguine Offering Charge
- Level 4: 2nd Sanguine Offering Charge
- Level 6: 3rd Sanguine Offering Charge
- Level 8: 4th Sanguine Offering Charge
- Level 10: 5th Sanguine Offering Charge
- Level 12: 6th Sanguine Offering Charge
- Level 14: 7th Sanguine Offering Charge
- Level 16: 8th Sanguine Offering Charge
- Level 18: 9th Sanguine Offering Charge
- Level 20: 10th Sanguine Offering Charge
Pact Magic:
3rd-level Witch Knight feature
The bargain you have struck with your Patron has granted you the ability to cast spells, much like a Warlock does.
Cantrips: You learn one cantrip of your choice from the Warlock spell list. Upon reaching 10th level in this class you learn one additional Warlock cantrip of your choice.
Spell Slots: The Witch Knight Spellcasting table shows how many spell slots you have, and the level of those spell slots. All of your spell slots from this feature are the same level. To cast one of your Warlock spells of 1st-level or higher, you must expend a spell slot. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a short or long rest.
Spells Known of 1st-Level and Higher: You learn two 1st-level spells of your choice from the Warlock spell list. The Spells Known column of the Witch Knight Spellcasting table shows when you learn more Warlock spells of 1st-level or higher. A spell you choose must be of a level no higher than what's shown in the table's Slot Level column for your level.
When you gain a level, you can choose a Warlock spell you know and replace it with another spell from the Warlock spell list, which must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Spellcasting Ability: Charisma is your spellcasting ability for your Warlock spells.

Otherworldly Step:
7th-level Witch Knight feature

- Almost rules as written

Enchanted Strikes:
10th-level Witch Knight feature

- Rules as written

Temporary hit points you gain from this feature last for 1 minute, or until you gain temporary hit points again.

- You will gain 1d10 temporary hit points, not the same as the damage dealt
- Temp HP will last until long rest or expended
- Progression:
- Level 15: Sanguine Offering replaced by Greater Sanguine Offering
Profane Sacrifice:
18th-level Witch Knight feature
You can offer the death of your foes to your Eldritch Power for enhanced abilities. As a reaction when a creature dies within 30 feet of you, you can regain one of your expended Pact Magic spell slots, or 1d4 of your expended Hit Dice.
Once you use this feature you must finish a short or long rest before you can use it again.
- Almost rules as written
- Only works on creatures you kill
- Option to recover Spell Slots/Sanguine Offering Charges will stay in the bonus bin until short or long rest.
- Progression:
- Level 18: After your first kill per short rest, Profane Sacrifice: Restore Spell Slot & Profane Sacrifice: Restore Sanguine Offering Charges will unlock in the bonus bin, costs a reaction, you can only use one
