Copying spell scrolls is the only feature that explicitly relies on it. Other than that, it's just expectations. You've hit the nail on the head that it comes down to disagreement over what the wizard is. But the original post is about 5e, and I feel like 5e is fairly clear. A few bits about...

That's well within the spell's purview, IMHO. The wording used ("...extends the time limit on raising the target from the dead") is so nonspecific that trying to prevent its use in that manner seems like an untenable position. I think that goes without saying for all of the dead-raising...

As hard as you're trying to be "right on the internet", nobody in this thread is confused about the DnD mechanical implementation of proficiency. We're trying to discuss what it would even mean for someone to devote their life to being a math professor, being good at it, and somehow never...

I'm sorry to tell you your interpretation of proficiency is flawed ;). You don't have to be classically trained to be proficient, you just have to be good at something. Check your dictionary.

While it's not a balance issue if a wizard isn't proficient in Arcana, it is an existential issue. DnD wizards are built around Arcana from a conceptual standpoint. How can one research and cast spells without studying the arcane? It would be like talking about a renowned mathematician with...

Birds are already smart. Have you seen the shenanigans a raven can get up to? Go watch some youtube videos of ravens solving puzzles and stuff. A recent study at Lund University (Sweden) determined that ravens have a higher IQ than chimpanzees. I've read articles in National Geographic...

PS - I've managed to navigate the dmsguild submittal process and uploaded the pack of them. I did all the PHB and XGE wizard spells, so 292 by my count! There are detailed instructions for the three levels of arcana enthusiasm, as well as the 292 spell scrolls both with and without a parchment...

As soon as I started thinking of algorithmic solutions to the massive quantity of spells, I should have known you had me hooked (I can't resist a fun coding project). For anyone considering a similar project, I ended up just using the Python keyboard module. Everything else produced sub-par...

Thanks! It's not entirely out of the question, but it would require a different approach to what I'm doing now to be any kind of sensible for that number of spells. I automated the generation of linear spellscript (which is all I generally use), but I currently use PowerPoint with shapes and...

If you want to "play wizard" you just tell your dm that your character does something super cool. If you want to be a wizard, you begin by going to your component shelf and acquiring some bones. Haha, I joke! Everyone knows you don't actually need the bones to record your spells! But they...

Ahoy, good reader! Inspired by the Acq-Inc company roles here: http://www.enworld.org/forum/content.php?6248-Download-Acquisitions-Inc-s-8-Iconic-Characters but not satisfied with the roles in their final, as-printed form, I've been working on some variations. The basic premise is a wizard...

Nothing wrong with that, I was just putting out a few charts based on the published material. I prefer a goalpost system myself, but everyone's got their own preferences.

If anyone is curious, based on Leveling Up (PHB 15), Adventuring Day XP (DMG 84), and Combat Encounter XP (DMG 82) (obviously, you can substitute social or exploratory encounters for combat encounters)...
