Description

The wizard strives to be a master of magical energies, shaping them and casting them as spells. To do so, he studies strange tongues and obscure facts and devotes much of his time to magical research. A wizard must rely on knowledge and wit to survive. Wizards are rarely seen adventuring without a retinue of fighters and men-at-arms. Because there are different types (or schools) of magic, there are different types of wizards. A wizard who concentrates his efforts in a single school of magic is called a specialist. The number of spells they can cast increases, but they lose the ability to cast spells of the school in opposition to their specialty.

Advantages:
- Spellcasting

Disadvantages:
- Low Hitpoints


Opinions


Bardan says : A mage with more spells? Yes please! Seriously, if you pick a good school to specialise in, this is a very easy way to greatly boost the effectiveness of your mage. The most commonly used specialists are illusionists and conjurers. ones to steer clear of are diviners and enchanters. That's about it really. Everything that goes for mages goes for specialists.
