Customized Wizard Characters While there is a broad selection of specialist wizards to choose from in this book, some players may want to create more unique characters. Player’s Option: Skills & Powers introduced the concept of point-based character design; this section now expands that material for wizards. Dozens of new powers, abilities, and restrictions are described here, allowing the creation of almost any kind of magic-using character imaginable.

If you want to use the material here in conjunction with Skills & Powers , this section takes the place of the character class design rules. In addition to the initial allotment of 40 character points assigned to a character in this chapter, a player may also choose to spend points left over from the race design chapter and save points in this step for proficiency selections. Note that there is no restriction on how a character spends his points in this system.

As always, the DM has the final word on whether or not a particular character is appropriate for his campaign. If the DM doesn’t like the way a character is put together, he can have the player try again.
