Wizards draw Power through a dedicated study of known flows of Power and methodically weaving it in known patterns to form a variety of spells. They are highly adaptable spellcasters who have control over what spells are refreshed through their Revision or Arcane Focus features. Their poor base defenses are augmented by automatic wards when they take significant damage.

Maximizing Intelligence is recommended for increasing spell DCs, spellcasts per day, Metamagic and Maneuver capacity. It also contributes to your Reflex save.
Strength increases your AB and damage when utilizing melee weapons, your carrying capacity, and your Fortitude save.
Dexterity increases your AB and damage when utilizing finesse weapons and ranged weapons. It also allows you to maximize Armor Class from clothes/light/medium armors and improves your Reflex save.
Constitution increases your survivability in raw hit points and contributing to your Fortitude save.
Wisdom contributes to your Will save.
Charisma contributes to your Will save and support Maneuvers such as "Commander Strike".

Wizard Core Mechanics

Arcane Focus

A Wizard has a pool of Arcane Focus, which they may draw from to power their spells. Activating this feat will cause their next spellcast performed from their memorized slots to restore a slot containing that spell, consuming an amount of Arcane Focus equal to the spell's level. Whenever the Wizard casts a spell from their memorized slots without using this feature, they gain an amount of Arcane Focus equal to the spell's level. This pool has a capacity equal to the Wizard's class level, is filled at rest, and is also restored by 1 whenever an enemy of Elite rating or higher is slain.

Metamagic: Conversion

The character receives the Conversion feat for free.

Revision

When a Wizard casts a spell from any scroll, if they also have that spell memorized but expended, that spell memorization is refreshed. They may also use this feat to target a scroll, converting Metamagic to refresh a slot containing that spell if it is already memorized. This cost is identical to whatever the Wizard would normally spend for Conversion to restore that spell slot.

Scribe Scroll

Wizards learn the Scribe Scroll feat for free.

Summon Familiar

A character with this feat may summon a familiar once per rest. If the familiar dies, the character suffers 1d6 damage, but may summon the familiar again after a rest. The form of the familiar may be changed by targeting the caster.

Contingency

A Wizard has magical countermeasures in place for many eventualities. The first time per rest the caster is damaged to 50% of total health, the rest of the damage from the strike that reduced the Wizard's health beyond this point is nullified, and the Wizard receives the following effects for 1 minute. This class feature does not exclude any further contingencies the Wizard may receive from other sources. This feature is also restored when slaying an opponent of Elite rating or higher.

Class Level Contingency Effects
2 Invisibility, 5 Physical DR (Absorption 20), 10 Elemental DR (Absorption 20)
4 Invisibility, 10 Physical DR (Absorption 40), 20 Elemental DR (Absorption 30)
6 Invisibility, 15 Physical DR (Absorption 60), 30 Elemental DR (Absorption 40)
8 Invisibility, 20 Physical DR (Absorption 80), 40 Elemental DR (Absorption 50)
10 Invisibility, 25 Physical DR (Absorption 100), 50 Elemental DR (Absorption 60)

Wizard Bonus Feats

Wizards gain bonus feats at levels 5 and 10 with which they may purchase spell and Metamagic feats.

Wizard Weapons

The Wizard may use the club, dagger, light crossbow, and quarterstaff.

Class Level Feature Details
4 Conjunction You gain a Conjunction grid, which you may view in your archetype menu (archetype menus may be opened by using your base archetype feat, or the /atmenu command):
  • This grid has 3 rows, and a number of columns equal to your highest spell level.
  • Upon casting an Evocation spell using Arcane Focus, this grid gains a charge in the highest unfilled cell corresponding to the level of the spell.
  • When a row of this grid is filled, that row is cleared and you gain points of Conjunction equal to 1 + the combined total of all your spell levels, minus your highest (e.g. a wizard who knows level 5 spells would gain 1+4+3+2+1 = 11 points). Any remaining filled cells in the grid rise to fill empty space.
  • Conjunction points may be consumed to recover Evocation spell slots, at a rate of 1 point per spell level.
  • You may possess a maximum amount of Conjunction equal to twice the value of Conjunction you receive for completing a row.
7 Syzygy A Syzygy counter is added to your archetype menu. When filling a cell in your Conjunction grid, your Syzygy counter is increased by the level of the spell cast. Upon reaching or exceeding 10 in this counter, you gain a charge of Astroclasm. The counter is then reset to zero.

You gain a new ability, Astroclasm. This ability possesses a maximum capacity of 1 charge. Astroclasm allows you to nominate a point within 40m, firing an arcing bolt of force toward that location. This bolt explodes on impact, dealing 5 + 5d4 Magical damage, plus an additional 1 + 1d4 per point of your Intelligence modifier (Save: Reflex; DC: Spell (L5); Half) in a 10m radius. Creatures must also succeed a Fortitude save or be knocked down for one round. This feature benefits from applicable Metamagic that you know, at no additional cost.

10 Unlimited Power Your Astroclasm capacity increases to 2. Your Syzygy counter now also increments when casting Evocation spells without Arcane Focus.
