Here we are in the last class based survivor thread of this whole shebang! We finish with The Wizard.
Aaah... the Wizard... both the Best Class and the absolute WORST Class in DnD. It was introduced with a whopping EIGHT subclass in the PHB, adding to this the sheer volume of space taken by the spell section, it really felt like it was the Favorite Child of the PHB. I don't know why they insisted on this boring and bland Magic School based subclass system. Especially when collapsing them into a single 'School Specialist' subclass would have done the job, allowing them to include maybe the Bladesinger right off the bat as a 'Wizard with a dash of Fight' into the mix and then something that's a little more interesting on top.
I got my share of grievance with Mr. Wizkid here, but I still think the Diviner's ability is pretty neat.
The fact the Wizard started with 8 subclasses with dubious theming is probably the reason why it left SO many failed UAs in its wake! The new subclass had to work harder than any other to earn their places.
