Conclusion

Introduction

I truly believe that work should stand aloneon it's own content and not have people become

biased against it due to it's creator. That said,

please don't steal it. I might one day decide to

actually publish this work and try to make moneyoff of it. Everyone else is after all.

Well, what do we have in this book? Theplayers I DM tend to enjoy magic much more thanweapons. Thus we have developed new powers,

feats, items for the arcane. I've kept class and

racial based prerequisites to a minimum and evenleft them open where possible. That way, when new

races and classes are released, my options will still

be viable for them without going into anyadditional house rules.

Also, this book contains stuff designed for

the Heroic Tier of gameplay. My own players

enjoy this the best so I've done the most work on it.With this said, enjoy!

Chapter 1: Heroic Tier Feats

All right, this is where we get into some

sweet crunchy bits. I have always loved feats sincethe start of third edition of this fine game. I lovethe options and the customization that they give

you and your character. Lets face it, there were

some feats that we all took, but there were manythat were just for style. In this new edition (4th for

those counting) you have much more possibilities.

Not only does the new edition give you newpossibilities, it also gives you more feats.

I might eventually create more books like

this one. The possibilities are near limitless. This

particular book is designed after the arcane caster,specifically the wizard. I've thrown in more than a

few feats that can be applied to other classes and

one that almost solely does. Still, they have anarcane feel to them so I've included them.

When I saw the feats that Wizards of the

Coast put out in their base books, I must say I wasdisappointed. Most of the feats seemed to apply

more toward martial classes. To be fair, most of

them are crossovers from last edition and it was the

martial classes that got most of the feats. Not so in

this edition. Also, I was quite disappointed withthe lack of Metamagic feats. I began working on

them when I came across the Quintessential Wizardby Mongoose Publishing. I strongly recommend

you go out and buy that bad boy. I also still haven't

seen the new Arcane Power book in it's entirety andI heard they have included them there. Between

those two Metamagic feats should be covered. I

was sort of leaning to Mongoose Publishing's styleanyhow, so I don't need to go with that.

Also, I have often wondered what

goes through the mind of these gamecreators. How do they think some of theirstuff is balanced or even fun? What did

they mean when they said whatever they

said? To eliminate this (and to remindmyself later what I was thinking) I've

included the right hand column of notes.

I've included thoughts, examples in oneparticular complicated case, and

explanations for what I've created. I hope

they help. They also help me fill out the

book. This way my poor book is more thanjust three or four pages. Makes me feel like

I've accomplished a bit more.

Also, this is my first time creatinganything even remotely like this. The

format is kinda basic (I didn't even try to put

in the images for my new basic attackspells. I hope you guys using this don't

mind. I gotta keep things to a certain

acceptable format or people will always

complain. Also, as of typing this, I wonder

how I'm gonna make that funny column ofquick feat descriptions that all the books

include. I thought about not doing it, but Ilove to see it in other books. I have quite a

few feats here and it would be no fun to

read through them all over and over lookingfor just one. So the table is crucial. We'll

see how it turns out. And I gotta remember

to highlight every other entry on it to makeit more readable.

Heroic Tier Feats

Adaptive Training

Prerequisites: power from a class or power source other

than from your primary class.

Benefit: Alter the primary attack and damage ability scorefor a single attack power (at-will, encounter, or daily) to that

of your primary class.

Assault Versatility

Prerequisites: 15 or higher ability score in your class's

primary ability

Benefit: Gain an additional 1st level at-will attack power

from your primary class.

Concussive Blast

Benefit: Whenever you use a power that pushes a target, the

target is also knocked prone.

Dimensional Stepper

Benefit: Whenever you teleport, increase the distance by one

square. This is a feat bonus to movement.

Eldrich Assault

Benefit: You over-channel your arcane energies to make an

arcane at-will attack power more potent. Once per

encounter,as a free action, before making an attack roll, you

can, as a free action, activate this power allowing your next

attack to cause maximum damage.

Eldrich Bolt

Prerequisites: arcane power source, you must posses at least

two at-will attack powers from your primary class.

Benefit: Choose a power you already posses. Replace one of

your 1st level at-will attack powers with the Eldrich Bolt

power using the attack and energy and relevant spell

descriptors of your chosen power. At the end of a extended

rest, you can refocus this feat to be linked to a different

power.

Eldrich Bolt ranged 20

target: one creature attack: same as chosen power

effect: 1d6 + abil mod damage and energy

of your chosen power

special: this power can be used as a basic

ranged attack

Notes

Adaptive Training: This is sort of based on the

Melee Training feat where you swap your basic

attack and damage. But since you are using this feat

for a more powerful ability, I've limited it to a singlepower. This should make multiclassing and power

swapping a bit more useful.

Assault Versatility: One additional at-will power

doesn't make anybody more powerful. I've included

the prereq to make it so you have to be at least a little

good at what you do. Some might think this would

take away from humans, but they can take it too.

Concussive Blast: This one's just fun. Gives a real

sweet feel to a wizard's Thunderwave. This

particular feat might be on the upper end of Heroic,

but doesn't quite break into Paragon level power

Dimensional Stepper: There are already feats that

increase your base movement, this my be more

powerful, but it's definitely used less often. I think

that balances it out. On a side note, I can't believe

that teleport wasn't in my spellchecker.

Eldrich Assault: Clerics already have a one-up on

this with their channel divinity powers. Besides,

wizard powers might attack quite a few foes, but at-

will powers don't exactly do that much damage.

Eldrich Bolt: Not every arcane class has an abilitythat can be used as a ranged basic attack. Most do,

but for the rest, I offer this option. In addition, you

might not like the one your class has, and this

provides an additional option, and options are where

it's at. This power also can give a good feel to a

class. Lets look at an example. Lets have a wizard

pick an illusionary power that attacks your enemy's

will defenses with psychic energy.

Eldrich Bolt ranged 20

target: one creature

attack: Intelligence vs. Will

effect: 1d6 + int mod psychicdamage

special: this power is arcane,

illusion, psychic,

implement

You get the same spell descriptors as the original

spell. Hope this example helps.

Wall Specialization extend wall lengthWand Mastery wand of accuracy class feature enhanced wand attack

Eldrich Grasp

Prerequisites: arcane power source, you must posses at least

two at-will attack powers from your primary class.

Benefit: Choose a power you already posses. Replace one of

your 1st level at-will attack powers with the Eldrich Grasp

power using the attack and energy and relevant spell

descriptors of your chosen power. At the end of a extended

rest, you can refocus this feat to be linked to a different

power.

Eldrich Grasp melee touch

target: one creature

attack: same as chosen power

effect: 1d6 + abil mod damage and energy

of your chosen power

special: this power can be used as a basic

melee attack

Eldrich Grasp: Ok, this one is much like the

Eldrich Bolt, but with a basic melee attack. So with

both of these, you might notice that the damage is

less than eitherMagic Missile orEldrich Blast. I did

that on purpose. I think that this makes up for the

additional options you gain, and you gain quite a

few. Ok, with the prerequesite, I did this so you still

must maintain at least one at-will power from your

class after you've taken this feat. And unless you are

human or take the Arcane Versitility feat you won'tbe able to get this one and Arcane Bolt. I won't go

into another example, give you a few more thoughts.

With these two feats, you can gain powers using any

ability score attacking any defense. If you already

have a power that does it, you got another. Also, the

energies allowed are just as limitless.

6/36

Energy Expertise

Benefit: Choose two related energy types (i.e. fire, acid,

poison, radiant, etc.). You gain a +1 feat bonus to attack rolls

with any power you use that utilizes that energy type. The

bonus increases to +2 at 11th level and +3 at 21th level.Special: You can take this feat more than once. Each time

you select this feat, choose two different energy types.

Note: Feat bonuses from this feat and others do not stack

with one another.

Energy Focus

Benefit: Choose an two related energy types (i.e. fire, acid,

poison, radiant, etc.). You gain a +1 feat bonus to damage

rolls with any power you use that utilizes those energy types.

The bonus increases to +2 at 11th level and +3 at 21th level.

Special: You can take this feat more than once. Each time

you select this feat, choose two other energy types.

Energy Modification

Prerequisites: trained in arcana

Benefit: Choose an energy type (radiant, necrotic, acid, cold,

fire, lightning, thunder, poison, psychic, etc.). Once per

encounter as a free action, you can modify one of your arcane

at-will powers to use the chosen energy type instead of the

power's original energy type. Modify the spell descriptor as

appropriate.

Innate Channeling

Prerequisites: Dragonborn or Genasi

Benefit: Whenever you have an ability that randomly

generates what energy form it produces (such as several

chaotic sorcerous powers) you may opt, before rolling, toselect the same element of your breath weapon or genasi

manifestation.

Special: if you are of another race that has energy attacks

and/or resistances, you also qualify for this feat.

Mind over Matter

Benefit: When calculating hit points (not healing surges) you

can replace your constitution score with your highest ability

score.

Orb Mastery

Prerequisites: orb of imposition class feature

Benefit: Once per encounter as a free action, you can useyour orb to cause an enemy to make two saving throws

against an effect of one of your powers and take the lower of

the results. This ability must be used before the saving throw

is made. This ability uses up your Orb of Imposition

encounter ability.

Energy Expertise: As fighters have weapon

expertise, I've given wizards this feat. This way you

can specialize in a specific energy source. It's

important to note that feat bonuses don't stack. Thus

if you take some sort of implement expertise or spellexpertise or whatever that grants you an attack, it

won't stack. Let's keep it balanced people.

Energy Focus: Lets face it, WotC isn't always the

most creative group in the land. I've created this feat

so if you can link the energy forms in your mind and

explain it to your DM, go ahead and choose any two

energy forms. Have fun and don't be so limiting.

Energy Modification: At first I thought to just

permanently change the spell description, but then

you might just as well make a new spell. This way

you get another option in combat. Also, I felt that

changing encounter or daily powers in this way

would be too powerful. If you don't think so, go

with it, it's your game.

Innate Channeling: Obviously if you are born of

ice, you'd have a better understanding of ice magic.

With the wild magic of certain spells, I thought this

feat appropriate, and my group loved it. Of course

I've included a note about new races as well. Whoknows what elemental races are coming down the

line.

Mind of Matter: a popular feat last edition and

with all the backgrounds giving it to you for free, I

went ahead and made it a feat.

Orb Mastery: If you have a class feature, why not

give players an option to make it stronger. This feat

does just that. It doesn't give you a new power, but anew use for a power you already have.

7/36

Potent Magic

Benefit: Choose a single energy type you can cast, such as

fire, poison, necrotic, etc. Whenever you cast a spell using

that energy type, the damage die of the power increases by

one step as shown on the weapon charts in the PHB.

Protective Burst

Prerequisites: trained in arcana

Benefit: If you choose yourself as the origin point for an area

burst effect, you get a -5 to hit yourself , take half damage and

do not provoke attacks of opportunity.

Ranged Combat Training

Benefit: Choose an ability other than Dexterity (or Strength

for heavy thrown weapons). When you make a ranged basic

attack using a weapon you are proficient with, you can use

that ability instead of Dexterity (or Strength) for the attack

roll and the damage roll.

Secret Mage

Prerequisites: trained in stealth or bluff

Benefit: Character gives no outward signs that he is casting a

spell and all spell effects appear to be generated from an

alternate location, such as from the sky, illusionary rifts in

reality, from the ground, or detonating without an origin

location thus concealing the fact that you cast the spell.

Shifting Invisibility

Prerequisites: Dexterity 13

Benefit: every round you are invisible, you can shift 1 square

as a free action at any point during your turn.

Staff Mastery

Prerequisites: Wizard, staff of defense class feature

Benefit: Once per encounter as a free action, you can use

your staff to cause an enemy to make two attack rolls to hit

you and take the lower of the results. This ability must be

used before the attack roll is made. This ability uses up your

Wand of Defense encounter ability.

Wall Specialization

Benefit: when creating a wall, you can extend the wall by

one additional full height square. This bonus increases to +2

squares at 11th level and +3 squares at 21st level.

Wand Mastery

Prerequisites: Wizard, wand of accuracy class feature

Benefit: Once per encounter as a free action, you can use

your wand to make an attack roll, rolling twice and taking

either result. This ability must be used before the attack roll

is made. This ability uses up your Wand of Accuracy

encounter ability

Potent Magic: This is equivalent to using a bigger

weapon. On average, you cause one or two

additional points of damage. It's a cool effect, but is

hardly overpowered.

Protective Burst: Sometimes when you're

surrounded, you gotta do what you gotta do. This

more-or-less turns area burst into close bursts. Trust

me, it's worth it.

Ranged Combat Training: There is already a

melee combat training feat. I went ahead and made

this one, it's only fair.

Secret Mage: This bad boy is for character and

style only. It does not make it so you do not come

out of hiding when you attack. But it does make you

more awesome.

Shifting Invisibility: At first glance, this is a very

powerful ability. However, since all invisibilities

vanish whenever you attack and few powers grant

invisibility to begin with, I think that balances it out

fairly well. I also added a mobility type prerequisite

to balance it down just a little more.

Staff Mastery: As with the orb and wand mastery,

this should add some combat options that can be a lot

of fun.

Wall Specialization: Honestly, I find this feat to be

a bit on the weak side. Still, it has a pretty cool

effect, especially for those wizards that specialize in

such things.

Wand Mastery: As with the orb and staff mastery,

this adds a another combat action. There are already

abilities out that let others do this very thing, clearly

it's not overrated.

Chapter 2: Heroic Powers

All right, I was gonna right some witty paragraph about my powers, but at the end of this

I am running out of ideas. I'll just give you the powers and have at it. That said, you can

easily see that the vast majority of my work was with first level at-will attack powers. These

are what define a wizard in my opinion. I hope you enjoy them and the options they

provide you.

Following several pages of at-will powers are my encounter, daily, and utility powers.

I've incorporated teleportation, telekinesis, and all other goodies I've developed.

(Developed sounds much better than made up.)

These powers should carry you easily through tenth level. After that you are on your

own. Well, perhaps my own campaign will progress beyond the Heroic level and

I'll have another book of this stuff for you by then. Don't hold your breath, though.

Still, if you are impatient, send me the stuff you made up and I'll put it in thisnice format and get it out there. Well, at least the first part. I honestly have no idea

how to get this information out to the people. I'll try to come up with some ideas.

In the meantime, if you are reading this then I was successful. Send me your stuff

and I'll do the same.

Notes

As is apparent, I've put quite a bit of work into the

wizard's at-will attack powers. I truly feel that

these are what defines a wizard. He might have

additional encounter, utility, and daily powers, butwhen things get dicey and you gotta dig hard, this

is what you end up with. This is what makes your

magic unique over all other wizards.

If you don't like what you chose, you can always

swap one out every level. So experiment with what

works for you.

I've also attempted to make sure that there are

ranged, bursts, blasts, area effects, lingering

conjurations and whatnot for just about every

energy source. This game is about options after all,

lets make some.

That said, even though I admire what Mongoose

Publishing has done with their Quintessential

Wizard, I do not care for the weapon based powers.

Leave them to the Swordmage in my opinion. But

if you like em, go ahead and have fun.

I've also included a new type of spell, well not

really. It's the teleport magic. Not only can you

teleport yourself around, you can teleport your

enemies. When you teleport yourself, you gotta

make sure you get all of you and that you end up

safely in a wall. Not so with your enemies. If you

happen to leave little bits of blood and bone lying

around afterwards, all the better.

Now, on to some other powers. I have pages of

these at-will powers, I don't think I'll make quite so

many encounter, utility, and daily. I sorta enjoy

this column format so I'll go ahead and fill a

column for every category at every level. On to

bigger and better powers!

Notes

I almost feel like I should write a few paragraphs

explaining what how some of these powers actually

work. I won't though. If you truly cannot figure

them out through their explanations, drop me a linethrough e-mail and I'll give you a description and

and example or two. This way I'm also getting

some feedback. See how sneaky I am?

That said, I am really proud of some of these, but

some of em ended up being filler. Not too many

mind you, but a few.

Again I was surprised by some of the words that

weren't in my dictionary, words such as undead,

unliving, eldrich, fae, extraplanar, pseudoplane,

teleport, and teleportation among others. Stupid

D&D expanding my vocabulary.

Looking back over these powers, I realize just how

awesome some of these abilities are. I especially

enjoy the domination effects. There just weren't

enough in the original content. Sure, there were

monsters that could almost do it at will, but what

about wizards? And again the teleport magic is

amazing. Pay close attention to Fractal Shove, it's

one of my favorites.

Once I got going, I had to stop myself from

creating new powers on the spot. I shifted some of

the power's levels around and renamed a fewpowers. Honestly, I still haven't figured out what

differentiates a first level daily from a fifth level

daily. So I tried to put the weaker ones lower level.

That said, that means that some of the official

content is clearly better than this stuff. But you

might give up a few damage for a new effect or

options.

That said, remember that wizards are controllers

and not strikers. Sure, they can pull off some

amazing amounts of damage if everyone is

bunched together, but compared to a sorcerer or

warlock, it's just not your forte. Pick powers you

like and have at it.

Now, lets see what kinds of magic items I can

scrounge up from my various notes and notebooks.

Chapter 3: Magic Items

The most difficult part of creating new items isn't

the creative ideas. We all come up with what if's

and how about's. And with this new edition, game

balance is seldom the problem either. If the item is

too powerful, make it a higher level, or heaven

forbid, an artifact. The real problem is the item

level.

What makes one magic sword a level 3 weapon and

another a level 4? Within the half-tier 5-level sets,

it's fairly easy to figure out. But how does one fine

tune the item costs?

Of course I took an extensive look at the existing,

official and unofficial items that have been thus farreleased. Is my new magic hat more powerful than

this other one or is it weaker? How could I best

utilize it? What skill, class, feat, item combination

would make this item seem broken and overly

powerful? Are there common monsters that this

won't effect at all?

When it comes down to it, I faked it. I just thought

to myself, what is the lowest level character I want

to have this item? A few items got thrown out cause

they would make nice Paragon Tier items, and that's

not what I'm doing here. I even threw out a couple

magic rods. Wizards aren't proficient in rods. It'skinda hard to actually stick to the subject matter of

the book. I like more and more.

Anyhow, on to the items.

Firstly, I don't have too many weapons and armors.

While cool and sometimes lifesaving, if you're

hitting someone with a weapon you're doing it

wrong. If someone is hitting you, your team failed

you. You aren't some front line warmage like the

sorcerer or some sword-wielding arcane warrior like

the swordmage. You are a back line controller. But

still, to each their own. Have fun with it. I'veincluded what I hope are a couple armors and

weapons that we enjoyed and think you might as

well.

I did much more focus on implements. Orbs and

wands are my favorites. But I was actually

disappointed with how few cool tomes they

included. So I've included more than a few of my

own. Not all of em have been tested, but they

should be balanced or even a bit weak. I thought

about including some hats and masks that are

discussed in the Quintessential Wizard but we

haven't really done anything with em.

As wands go, the most brilliant concept the folks so

far have come up with has been the Master's wands.

I have so many at-will spells, however, I didn't think

I would create them all here. But it turns out that

once I got rolling, they just came out. I hope youenjoy them.

The tomes weren't hard to come up with. The ideas

seemed to flow quite easily. However, I did not

have a wide variety to compare them to. It makes

choosing an item level for tomes a bit difficult.

Still, I did my best and I think they turned out quite

well. Feel free to tweak them as you see fit.

Finally, I had a bunch of really cool alchemical

items all worked up, but the files got corrupted. I

think I'll release another one of these bad boys full

of rituals and alchemy and consumable items. But,at least with my group, we haven't done much with

em. I include all these cool new potions and

explosives and rituals, but my people don't use em.

I think they feel they are just throwing away money

if they do. Gotta find some way to break them of

that thinking. So I'll save them for another time.

Armor

Pocketed Armor Level 2+These robes are filled with secret pockets that carefully hold

various arcane paraphernalia.

Lvl 12 +3 13,000 gp Lvl 27 +6 1,625,000 gpArmor: Cloth, LeatherEnhancement: ACProperty: This armor holds a number of small items such as

potions, elixirs, reagents, daggers, wands, orbs, and the like inextradimensional pockets only the wearer can access, and thewearer can retrieve them as a free action. The armor can hold anumber of items of this nature equal to 3 plus the enchantment

bonus of the armor.

Robes of Rampant Destruction Level 4+These tattered robes are often worn by truly destructive mages,

protecting them from their own devastation.

Lvl 4 +1 840 gp Lvl 19 +4 105,000 gpLvl 9 +2 4,200 gp Lvl 24 +5 525,000 gpLvl 14 +3 21,000 gp Lvl 29 +6 2,625,000 gp

Armor: ClothEnhancement: ACProperty: The wearer of this armor can ignore his own spelleffects, not taking any damage or detrimental effects.Power (Daily): Free Action. Use this power when you cast a

spell. A choose a number of targets equal to or less thanthe enchantment bonus of this armor. Those creatures are

unaffected by the spell.

Notes

Though the proper choice in armor can be the

matter of life or death for a wizard, most do not

focus on such matters. Arcane studies are of more

import. That said, we haven't really came up with

too many viable armors. We had a few more, but

they clearly ended up broken after some playtesting,

so I will not include them here.

And just cause they are called robes doesn't mean

that they have to be. Your cloth armor might be a

swanky swashbuckling outfit or formal uniform, or

even a tattered loincloth. Customize your

character's look, it makes all the difference.

Weapons

Arcane Etched Level 4+Pulsing mystical runes are etched down the length of this weapon

allowing arcane energy to be channeled through it.


Lvl 14 +3 21,000 gp Lvl 29 +6 2,625,000 gpWeapon: AnyEnhancement: Attack rolls and damage rollsCritical: +1d6 damage per plus, +1d8 damage per plus if the

attack has the arcane keyword.Property: This weapon can be used as an implement by any arcane

class. You do not gain the proficiency bonus of thisweapon for such attacks.

Power (Encounter): Standard Action. You can change one ofyour ranged attack power into a melee touch power usingthis weapon as the implement.

Easy Wield Level 3+Perfectly balanced with a slight intelligence that guides in

combat, even the most untrained soldier is formidable with this

mystical weapon.

proficient in the weapon.Power (Daily): Free Action. You add double the enchantment

bonus to the next attack you make before the end ofyour next turn.

Notes

There are some mages that enjoy wielding physical

weapons, but most of them end up swordmages

instead. That said, wizards don't get much training

weaponwise, so they need magical bonuses. That's

where the Easy Wield weapon comes in. I thought

to put that as an armor ability, but it was clearly too

powerful. I don't think it is so with weapons.

When making a weapon choice other than that

you're proficient in, go crazy. If you aren't

proficient in it, don't worry about whatever bonuses

they get. Odds are unless you get more training,

you won't hit anything, so make it look awesome.

Notes

As I stated earlier, I like orbs. I enjoy the Masterypower that goes with them. But most of all I love

their names and their style. You might wield a staff,

or whip out a wand, flip through a tome, but you

caress an orb and coax out it's power.

With the sustaining powers of the Implement

Mastery class ability, it was an easy step to continue

those effects and enhance them with the orbs. If

you can't tell yet, we had a wikkid dominator mage

in my group. It was amazing.

If any of these is slightly overpowered, it is the Orb

of Dimensional Redirection. So while I enjoyencounter power items better, I bumped that to a

daily power and put distance limits to it. With those

changes, I felt it a bit underpowered since I didn't

want it to be less than 5th level. So I bumped up the

crit damage for teleport magic. Not so useful unless

you use my enhanced spell list from earlier.
