Wizards Limited to 2 Focus Points?


Rules Discussion

Dark Archive

So, Wizards get a Focus Point from their Arcane School from the start and then get another added to their pool with Advanced School Spell. I'm not finding any other way for a Wizard to gain that last Focus Point to reach the max of 3. Am I missing something? It looks like all other casters can manage this somehow but I'm surprised if, of all classes, the Wizard can't manage this on it's own.

Edit: Incorrect title. Wrong word order.


That appears to be correct, and I'd hazard it's intentional. Wizards don't get their "regain 2 focus points" feat until 14th level, and they don't get a "regain 3 focus points" feat at all.


I also agree it is intentional.

Slower focus recovery progression and missing improved recovery.

Even though the slower focus progression means nothing.

As a champion I can unlock it by lvl 10, and still I don't have the next step.

A monk will unlock it by lvl 14 and will also get the third step by lvl 18.

Probably some classes are meant to have just the second step.

I doubt that, it isn't onerous for a wizard to get that third focus point outside of class.

I think this is just a matter of content not being produced yet


There's always the option of taking a multiclass dedication


It's not quite as good as having a third Focus Point, but a Familiar with Familiar Focus can get you an extra use of Focus.
