Spells: A wizard casts arcane spells. She
is limited to a certain number of spells of each spell level per day, according
to her class level. A wizard must prepare spells ahead of time by getting
a good night's sleep and spending 1 hour studying her spellbook. While studying,
the wizard decides which spells to prepare. To learn, prepare, or cast a spell,
a wizard must have an Intelligence score of at least 10 + the spell's level.
A wizard's bonus spells are based on Intelligence. The Difficulty Class for
saving throws against wizard spells is 10 + the spell's level + the wizard's
Intelligence modifier.
Bonus Languages: A wizard may substitute Draconic
for one of the bonus languages available to the character.
Familiar: A wizard can summon a familiar in
exactly the same manner as a sorcerer. See the sorcerer description.
Scribe Scroll: A wizard has the bonus item
creation feat Scribe Scroll, enabling her to create magic scrolls.
Bonus Feats: Every five levels, a wizard gains
a bonus feat. This feat must be a metamagic feat, an item creation feat, or
Spell Mastery.
Spellbooks: Wizards must study their spellbooks
each day to prepare their spells. A wizard cannot prepare any spell not recorded
in her spellbook (except for read magic, which all wizards can prepare from
memory).
Spell Mastery: A wizard (and only a wizard)
can take the special feat Spell Mastery. Each time the wizard takes this feat,
choose a number of spells equal to the wizard's Intelligence modifier (they
must be spells that the wizard already knows). From that point on, the wizard
can prepare these spells without referring to a spellbook.
School Specialization
A school is one of eight groupings of spells, each defined by a common theme,
such as illusion or necromancy. A wizard may specialize in one school of magic.
Specialization allows a wizard to cast extra spells from the chosen school,
but the wizard then never learns to cast spells from one or more other schools.
Spells of the school or schools that the specialist gives up are not available
to her, and she can't even cast such spells from scrolls or wands.
The wizard must choose whether to specialize and how at 1st level. She may
not change her specialization later.
The specialist can prepare one additional spell (of the school selected as
a specialty) per spell level each day.
The specialist gains a +2 bonus to Spellcraft checks to learn the spells of
her chosen school.
The eight schools of arcane magic are Abjuration,
Conjuration, Divination, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, Necromancy, and
Transmutation. Spells that do not fall into any of these schools are called
universal spells.
Abjuration: To become an abjurer, a wizard
must select a prohibited school or schools from the following choices: (1)
either Conjuration, Enchantment, Evocation, Illusion, or
Transmutation; or (2) both Divination and
Necromancy.
Conjuration: To become a conjurer, a wizard
must select a prohibited school or schools from one of the following choices:
(1) Evocation; (2) any two of the following three schools: Abjuration, Enchantment,
and Illusion; (3)
Transmutation, or (4) any three schools.
Divination: To become a diviner, a wizard
must select any other single school as a prohibited school.
Enchantment: To become an enchanter, a wizard
must select a prohibited school or schools from the following choices: (1)
either Abjuration, Conjuration, Evocation, Illusion, or
Transmutation; or (2) both Divination and
Necromancy.
Evocation: To become an evoker, a wizard must select a prohibited school or
schools from one of the following choices: (1) Conjuration; (2) any two of
the following three schools: Abjuration, Enchantment, and Illusion; (3)Transmutation;
or (4) any three schools.
Illusion: To become an illusionist, a wizard
must select a prohibited school or schools from the following choices: (1)
either Abjuration, Conjuration, Enchantment, Evocation, or Transmutation;
or (2) both Divination and Necromancy.
Necromancy: To become a necromancer, a wizard
must select any other single school as a prohibited school.
Transmutation: To become a transmuter, a wizard must select a prohibited school
or schools from one of the following choices: (1) Conjuration; (2) Evocation;
(2) any two of the following three schools: Abjuration, Enchantment, and Illusion;
or (4) any three schools.
Universal: Not a school, but a category for
spells all wizards can learn. A wizard cannot select universal as a specialty
school or as a school to which she does not have access.
SORCERER & WIZARDS FAMILIARS
Familiar: A sorcerer or a wizard can call a familiar. Doing so takes a day
and uses up magical materials that cost 100 gp. A familiar is a magical, unusually
tough, and intelligent version of a small animal. It is a magical beast, not
an animal. The creature serves as a companion and servant.
Even if the character is multiclassed with two or more classes that allow
a familiar, only one familiar is permitted. For these kinds of multiclassed
characters all the class levels in classes allowing a familiar are combined
for determining the familiar’s abilities.
The master chooses the type of familiar he gets. As the master increases in
level, the familiar also increases in power. In the special case of a character
with both sorcerer and wizard levels, the character can add those levels together
to determine the power level of the familiar.
If the familiar dies, or the master chooses to dismiss it, the master must
attempt a Fortitude saving throw (DC 15). If the saving throw fails, the master
loses 200 experience points per class level. A successful saving throw reduces
the loss to half of that amount. However, a master's experience point total
can never go below zero as the result of a familiar's demise. A slain or dismissed
familiar cannot be replaced for a year and day. Slain familiars can be raised
from the dead just as characters can be, but do not lose a level or a Constitution
point when this happy event occurs.
These special abilities only apply when the master and familiar are within
one mile of each other.
Table: Familiars
Familiar Special
-------- -------
Bat -
Cat Master gains a +2 bonus to Move Silently checks
Hawk -

Move Silently checks
Rat Master gains a +2 bonus to Fortitude saves
Raven Speaks one language
Snake (Tiny) Poisonous bite
Toad Master gains +2 to Constitution score
Weasel Master gains a +2 bonus on Reflex saves
Familiar Basics: Use the basic statistics for a creature of its type, but
make these changes:
Hit Dice: Treat as the master's character level (for effects related to Hit
Dice). Use the familiar's normal total if it is higher.
Hit Points: One-half the master's total, rounded down.
Attacks: Use the master's base attack bonus. Use the familiar's Dexterity
or Strength modifier, whichever is greater, to get the familiar's melee attack
bonus with unarmed attacks. Damage equals that of a normal creature of that
type.
Saving Throws: The familiar uses the master's base saving throw bonuses if
they're better than the familiar's.
Skills: Use the normal skills for an animal of that type or the master's,
whichever are better.
Familiar Ability Descriptions: All familiars have special abilities (or impart
abilities to their masters) depending on the level of the master. The abilities
are cumulative.
Table: Familiar Special Abilities
Master Natural
Class Level Armor Int Special
----------- ------- --- -------
1-2 +1 6 Alertness, improved evasion, share
spells, empathic link
3-4 +2 7 Touch
5-6 +3 8 Speak with master
7-8 +4 9 Speak with animals of its type
9-10 +5 10
11-12 +6 11 Spell resistance
13-14 +7 12 Scry on familiar
15-16 +8 13
17-18 +9 14
19-20 +10 15
Natural Armor: This number improves the familiar's AC.
Intelligence: The familiar's Intelligence score.
Alertness: The presence of the familiar sharpens its master's senses. While
the familiar is within arm's reach, the master gains Alertness.
Improved Evasion: If the familiar is subjected to an attack that normally
allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, the familiar takes no damage
if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw
fails. Improved evasion is an extraordinary ability.
Share Spells: At the master's option, he may have any spell he or she casts
on themselves also affect a familiar. The familiar must be within 5 feet at
the time. If the spell has a duration other than instantaneous, the spell
stops affecting the familiar if it moves farther than 5 feet away. The spell's
effect will not be restored even if the familiar returns to the master before
the duration would otherwise have ended. Additionally, the master may cast
a spell with a target of "You" on a familiar (as a Touch range spell)
instead. The master and familiar can share spells even if the spells normally
do not affect creatures of the familiar's type.
Empathic Link: The master has an empathic link with the familiar out to a
distance of up to one mile. The master cannot see through the familiar's eyes,
but the two of them can communicate telepathically. This is a supernatural
ability.
Because of the empathic link between the familiar and the master, the master
has the same connection to an item or place that the familiar does. For instance,
if his familiar has seen a room, a master can teleport into that room as if
he has seen it too.
Touch: If the master is 3rd level or higher, the familiar can deliver touch
spells for the master. When the master casts a touch spell, the familiar can
be designated as the "toucher." (The master and the familiar have
to be in contact at the time of casting.) The familiar can then deliver the
touch spell just as the master could. As normal, if the master casts another
spell, the touch spell dissipates.
Speak with Animals of Its Type: The familiar can communicate with animals
of approximately the same type as itself (including dire variants). The communication
is limited by the Intelligence of the conversing creatures.
Speak with Master: The familiar and master can communicate verbally as if
they were using a common language. Other creatures do not understand the communication
with out magical help.
Spell Resistance: If the master is 11th level or higher, the familiar gains
spell resistance equal to the master's level + 5.
Scry: If the master is 13th level or higher, the master may scry on the familiar
(as if casting the spell scrying) once per day. This is a spell-like ability
that requires no material components or focus.
