'''Balance Note:''' Most Fighter-level classes are pretty wimpy when it comes to personally affecting the course of a plot. This class is not. In Fighter-level campaigns where it isn't possible to find a variety of scrolls, wands, and high-level NPC Wizards to employ, the DM will definitely need to consider the suitability of the Powerful Wizard class in their campaign.
==Powerful Wizard==
'''{{Anchor|Familiar}}:''' The Powerful Wizard has a familiar, just like the [[SRD:Wizard#Familiar|Wizard]].
'''{{Anchor|Arcane}}:''' Spells the Powerful Wizard casts are arcane, and therefore suffer from arcane spell failure. Since this is an arcane spellcasting class, the Powerful Wizard can qualify for arcane spellcasting prestige classes.
'''{{Anchor|Save DCs}}:''' The save DCs of the Powerful Wizard's spells are equal to 10 + half Hit Dice + Intelligence modifier.
'''{{Anchor|At-Will, Encounter, and Daily Spells}}:''' At-Will spells can be cast as frequently as the Powerful Wizard wants. Whenever a Powerful Wizard casts an Encounter spell, she can't cast it again for 5 minutes. Whenever a Powerful Wizard casts a Daily spell, she can't cast it again until she spends 6 consecutive hours resting or doing nothing more stressful than making Craft checks.
'''{{Anchor|Learning Spells}}:''' At the specified levels, the Powerful Wizard learns spell(s) from the specified lists. The Powerful Wizard can choose to learn a spell from a lower-level list of the same type (at-will, encounter, daily) instead of from the new list.
'''{{Anchor|Level 1 At-Wills}}:''' At 1st level, the Powerful Wizard gains two At-Will spells chosen from the following list: ''[[SRD:Detect Poison|detect poison]]'', ''[[SRD:Detect Magic|detect magic]]'', ''[[SRD:Read Magic|read magic]]'', ''[[SRD:Dancing Lights|dancing lights]]'', ''[[SRD:Light|light]]'', ''[[SRD:Ghost Sound|ghost sound]]'', ''[[SRD:Mage Hand|mage hand]]'', ''[[SRD:Mending|mending]]'', ''[[SRD:Message|message]]'', ''[[SRD:Open/Close|open/close]]'', ''[[SRD:Arcane Mark|arcane mark]]'', ''[[SRD:Prestidigitation|prestidigitation]]''.
