Epic Selectable Class Feats:Blinding Speed

Description:
Wizards are arcane spellcasters who depend on intensive study to create their magic. To wizards, magic is not a talent but a difficult, rewarding art. When they are prepared for battle, wizards can use their spells to devastating effect. When caught by surprise, they are vulnerable. The wizard's strength is her spells; everything else is secondary. She learns new spells as she experiments and grows in experience, and she can also learn them from other wizards. In addition, over time a wizard learns to manipulate her spells so they go farther, work better, or are improved in some other way. A wizard can call a familiar, a magical creature, small or large, that serves her.

Spells
A Wizard may choose to specialize in a spell school, gaining one additional prepared spell per level but losing the ability to cast spells from the opposed spell school, even spells from scrolls. A Wizard does not have to specialize, thus keeping access to all spells.

Schools of magic are groups of related spells that work in similar ways. A Wizard may choose to specialize in a school of magic and therefore gains one additional prepared spell per level but loses the ability to cast spells from one other opposed school. In addition, specialist wizards have a bonus in identifying spells from their area of expertise and a penalty in identifying spells from the opposing school. A Wizard does not have to specialize, thus keeping access to all spells.

The default schools of opposition, as set up by BioWare, are different from PnP due to the limited selection of spells available in NWN for some schools. These defaults are as follows:

Abjuration - opposed by Conjuration
Conjuration - opposed by Transmutation
Divination - opposed by Illusion
Enchantment - opposed by Illusion
Evocation - opposed by Conjuration
Illusion - opposed by Enchantment
Necromancy - opposed by Divination
Transmutation - opposed by Conjuration

Note that the Abjuration, Evocation, and Necromancy schools are not listed as opposition for any other schools. Therefore, spells in these three (3) schools can be used by any Wizard, regardless of specialization.

Epic Wizard:
Knowledge is power and the quest for knowledge never ends. There is an everlasting supply of arcane lore for the epic wizard to discover.

Hit Die: d4 and Skill Points: 2 + Int modifier

Prestige Class Tips:
The Pale Master is a strong prestige class that builds upon the wizard's magical abilities.

Notes: Wizards learn new spells at each level-up or from wizard scrolls they find during play.
Which spells are memorized on rest are selected using the spell-book (shortcut key B).
Wizard familiars gain additional feats and abilities once the wizard level of the Player Character reaches 15.

Spellcasting: Arcane (Intelligence-based, requires preparation, armor-related chance of spell failure is a factor); Wizards begin the game knowing all cantrips and four 1st-level spells. Must have an Intelligence score of 10 + the spell’s level to cast a spell.
