Message: <blockquote data-quote="Steampunkette" data-source="post: 9478006" data-attributes="member: 6796468">In a 5e game..?I'd be inclined to make him a Warlock rather than a Wizard at all. He hits the Test of Magic and knows he can't win so he reaches out to Fistandantilus to make a deal for some of his life force to beat the Dark Elves. He gets "Magical Knowledge" from the exchange and also winds up with gold skin and hourglass eyes, but he manages to largely break his deal with Fistandantilus just not -entirely-. It's also -why- he's weak.When he goes back in time to before the Test he is in a healthier body without gold skin or hourglass eyes. He then hunts down Fistandantilus in Istar and beats him and absorbs him to take his power rather than letting him die and linger as a Vestige (3e Style) looking for someone to leech off.But not just because of Fistandantilus essentially functioning as a patron... but also the Staff of Magius as a Pact Boon. Sure, Par Salien is the one who handed it to him... but class mechanics? Having a magic staff of Pveathrfall, Daylight, and Knock feels like something a Warlock might get from a patron.Plus it's not like he actually cast a -ton- of spells throughout his day. He typically went for "Big Bang for your Buck" on spells with impact on the fight rather than tons of lesser magics. Sort of like how Warlocks don't use lower-level spells than the highest spell slot they've got.To make Raistlin in 5e you'd just make a Warlock, at the end of the day.</blockquote>
