Class feats

Level 1

• Dismiss Charm (active): Activate this short-ranged ability while targeting a charmed, commanded, controlled, or dominated enemy that is under your control to dispel the controlling effect.

• Inscribe Scroll (active): You are able to inscribe spells from scrolls into your spellbook. This action will destroy the scroll.

Spells

A wizard casts arcane spells which are drawn from the sorcerer/wizard spell list. A wizard must choose and prepare their spells ahead of time (see below).

To inscribe, prepare, or cast a spell, the wizard must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a wizard’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the wizard’s Intelligence modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a wizard has a limited number of spell points and spell slots. Their base daily allotments are given in the previous table. Bonus Spell points are awarded for high Int as detailed here.

Unlike a bard or sorcerer, a wizard may know any number of spells. They must choose and prepare their spells ahead of time by resting at a rest shrine or tavern. While studying, the wizard decides which spells to prepare.

Of particular Note to Players developing a Wizard Character is that certain spells may only be obtained through the Auction House, finding a scroll or choosing it upon leveling up. The full list can be found here.

Bonus Feats

At levels 1st, 5th, 10th, 15th, and 20th, a wizard gains a bonus feat. The feat taken must either be a metamagic feat, Mental Toughness, Improved Mental Toughness, or one of Spell Focus feats. See the full list here.

Spellbooks

Wizards must study their spellbook during the rest periods to prepare their spells. They cannot prepare any spell not scribed into their spellbook.

A wizard begins play with a spellbook of (3 + Int modifier) 1st-level spells. At each new wizard level, he gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that he can cast (based on the new wizard's level) for his spellbook. Wizards gain a new spell level every other wizard level... Level 1 spells at level 1, level 2 spells at level 3, level 3 spells at level 5, level 4 spells at level 7, etc up to level 9 spells at level 17.

A wizard may use the inscribe spell class feat on a scroll to add it to his spell book. Doing so requires an appropriately-leveled Inscription Materials, purchasable at magical supply shops (after Korthos).

Arcane Spells and Armor

Wizards and sorcerers do not know how to wear armor effectively.

If desired, they can wear armor anyway (though they’ll be clumsy in it), or they can gain training in the proper use of armor (with the various Armor Proficiency feats—light, medium, and heavy—and the Shield Proficiency feat), or they can multiclass to add a class that grants them armor proficiency. Even if a wizard or sorcerer is wearing armor with which they are proficient, however, it might still interfere with spellcasting.

Armor restricts the complicated gestures that a wizards or sorcerer must make while casting any spell that has a somatic component (most do). The armor and shield descriptions list the arcane spell failure chance for different armors and shields.
