[QUOTE="NotAYakk, post: 7871859, member: 72555"] [B]Wizard[/B] [I]This is in response to the increased versatility of the other arcane spellcasting classes. The second feature is aimed at the ridiculous fact that some wizards MC a constitution-save class at 1st level for no other reason than improved concentration...[/I] [B]Spellbook Versatility[/B] 1st-level wizard feature (enhances Spellcasting) During a short rest, a Wizard may change one spell they know for another spell in their spellbook. In addition, a wizard may attempt to cast an unprepared spell directly from their spellbook. This takes 1 minute or 2x the standard casting time (whichever is longer), and expends a spell slot as normal. Perform an intelligence(arcana) check with a DC equal to 10 plus twice the spell's level. On a failure, the slot is expended without casting the spell successfully. [I]This gives Wizards two ways to leverage their spellbook for flexibility; the short rest is reliable, while the directly from spellbook means they can try a utility spell when they are desperate. By default there is always a chance of failure, until 20 int and +6 proficiency, when level 1 spells are auto-success. So wizards will probably still leave mage armor as a spell prepared if they want it up every day.[/I] [B]Arcane Concentration[/B] 1st-level wizard feature (enhances Proficiencies) Wizards can add their proficiency bonus to Constitution saving throws when they are saving to maintain concentration on a Wizard spell. [I]I restricted this to Wizard spells, to avoid dip-addiction or having to put it at a medium level (the real benefit is at high levels, when that sweet +6 bonus makes DC 10 rolls much, much easier to succeed at). I just dislike the "well, if you make a level 20 wizard, actually make them a figher 1 first, because con + armor proficiency is better than the wizard capstone" style issues. This dilutes that a bit.[/I] [/QUOTE]
