Simple Wizard
Get the vibes of being a wizard with a few powerful spells and then some standbys, without being overwhelmed with 20 spell slots at level 10.
Class: Wizard, or other prepared full caster with similar spells per day progression.
Level: 1
Replaces: Spellcasting
Benefit: Your spells prepared use the following chart:
| Backup Spells | Main Spells |
|---|---|
| 4 | 4 |
You get bonus spells based on a high ability modifier, reduced by your highest spell level as follows:
| Modifier Minus Spell Level | Bonus Spells | |
|---|---|---|
| Backup Spells | Main Spells | |
| +1 or less | — | — |
| +2 to +3 | 1 | — |
| +4 to +5 | 1 | 1 |
| +6 to +7 | 2 | 1 |
| +8 to +9 | 2 | 2 |
| +10 to +11 | 3 | 2 |
| +12 to +13 | 3 | 3 |
| +14 to +15 | 4 | 3 |
| +16 to +17 | 4 | 4 |
| etc. . . | ||
Main Spells: Main spells are regular spell slots, prepared and expended the normal way, with a spell level up to the highest level the class could normally cast (class level divided by 2, rounded up).
Backup Spells: Backup spells are prepared like normal, but are not expended when cast and can be used at-will. If you have the ability to fill an empty slot with 15 minutes of preparation (or similar), then you can swap out a filled backup slot in that time.
You are limited in the number of backup spells active at once to the number of backup spells you have. If you cast a backup spell with a duration other than instantaneous, and you already had the maximum number of backup spells with durations active at once, you choose one backup spell to end immediately.
Backup spells have a maximum spell level of two levels lower than the class could normally cast, or 0, whichever is higher (class level divided by 2, rounded up, minus 2).
Extra Spells from Other Sources[edit]
If a source (such as a class feature, feat, or item) would give you extra spell slots of your highest level, it gives you that many extra Main spell slots.
If a source would give you extra spell slots of every level (or every level except 0th), it gives you that many extra Backup slots (1 per spell slot of every level, not 1 per spell slot total).
If the extra slots have some restriction (such as from a Specialist wizard), the extra Main/Backup slots have that restriction.
