public class Wizard

extends CClass

A character class devoted to the mastery of arcane magic. Wizards are the quintessential wielders of arcane magic. They are practically unlimited in their expertise with it. Wizards cast magic by scribing known spells into their spellbooks or scrolls, studying their spellbooks to prepare selected spells for casting, and then triggering the spell to be cast from memory or scrolls. After a spell is cast, the process must be repeated to cast it again.

Wizards can specialize in a school of magic. A wizard who specializes in a school of magic must select one of the eight schools of magic to specialize in and a combination of one or more schools that are prohibited. The speciallist can cast extra spells in this school but can never cast spells from one or more of the prohibited schools. Wizards (only) may also select the Spell Mastery feat that allows them to prepare spells without studying a spellbook.

At 1st-level, wizards may summon a familliar just like a sorcerer and automatically gain the Scribe Scroll feat. Wizards gain a metamagic feat every five levels in addition to feats normally gained. Initially, wizards are not proficient with armor or shields and they are only proficient with clubs, daggers, light and heavy crossbows, and quarterstaffs. Wizard have no alignment restrictions; they may be of any alignment.

This cclass is typcially used in fantasy campaign settings.
