Sin Wizard Specializations [Homebrew]


Rise of the Runelords


These are pretty much still a work in progress. But these are homebrewed for Sin Wizards both PC and NPC alike. They have been working pretty well so far. But I was wondering if anyone was doing anything with Sin Wizard Specializations in their campaign, if so would they like to share. Or suggestions if some of this seems too potent. (My characters are level 6 at the moment so far I only have had to deal with a Wizard of Envy and he seems to be enjoying it so far.)

comments/suggestions all welcome! Even the harsh ones, since these are all still works in progress.


Look a little strong for my tastes (especially DR 5 at first level), but other than that pretty darn nice.

Do these conform exactly with the Runelord spec/anti schools? (Seem to, just wanted to be sure).


Yeah, but I wanted Abjuration to be attractive. Since being banned from Evocation and Necromancy schools can be a big turn off for some Wizards.

And yes, Specializations / Prohibited schools are as they were officially stated. Even their sin descriptions are unchanged.

Just thought you should know you have pride in their twice, although one is actually wrath.

Really like these things, but won't get to use them. All the people who like casters prefer other classes, so no wizards.


Doh, and it's too late to edit it. ; ;

The first Pride is wrath.

My mistake.

You could always use them for the badguys. lol These abilities are equally available to PCs and NPCs (Goodguy and badguy alike) in my campaign.

Although the only specialist I know of so far is Momma Graul.
