You Might Be an Order of Scribes Wizard | Wizard Subclass Guide for DND 5e 

Oh no! This comment section has only been made worse by the addition of yet more bees!

NOT THE BEES

I’m making an NPC inspired by Dr. bees for my eventual perfect draw TTRPG campaign Although he got reworked into a park ranger rather than bee themed alter ego of a wasp themed superhero

Finally, someone else makes this comment!

Bees and Swarmkeepers have been historic allies

"So you can wizard while you wizard" 💀

I had no interest in playing a Wizard, that is, until I heard about Scribes. I had a DM that would absolutely target your spell book and generally target your character's flavor, and that has kind of made me build characters that can survive the DM. Scribes is a Wizard that can survive that kind of DM.

​@@Bacon_and_BuschIf your strat somehow failed Just get a new DM

Wall of fire? No. Domain expansion: Malevolent Shrine

Dude thats absolutely amazing lol

Hot damn now this has given me inspiration for a muscle wizard!!

Yeah he's so fun to play, my buddy is doing drakkenhiem

Wooo did not expect this to get traction

It's like talking about the avatar live action that doesn't exist. Better example would've been harry potter or something.

​@@TheeOK1There is no live action Avatar in Ba Sing Se

Ohhhhhhhhhhhh thank you! This is excellent.

Okay Luther

Harry is that you?

Fabricate solves the time issue of copying a spellbook. The gold cost remains, however. Note that wizards do not need calligraphy proficiency to transcribe spells, and in fact gain no benefit from it, so the rule about high-craftsmanship items does not apply. You are "proficient" in transcribing spells just by being a wizard.

You do still have to pay gold to do this so its not entirely free, even if by this level gold should not be in short supply.

If only it cut the cost of copying as dramatically. This is my favorite wizard subclass but it feels the weight of those wizard student loans like no other.

On top of that, being able to cast from your spell book's manifestation is great too. Imagine you're in an Anti-Magic Field and you manifest you summon the manifestation outside of the field, then cast Dispel Magic from there. Boom, no more Anti-Magic Field.

Hope I did it justice!

This was my all-time favorite book series growing up and I watched this movie as a birthday present to myself. Normally I am a pretty calm person but I was yelling at the screen and throwing popcorn this day.

Emerald Quill magic item!

"As a heavy steel strapped oaken chest levitates on an invisible platform a tiny imp and it's homunculus look-alike load it with the pieces of loot... errr of a precious artifacts, and some unseen force is loading larger items of value. Meanwhile, a dusty and ink stained gnome intently studies the carvings around the ornate ruins, marking it all to memory for recording later. Hovering over this scene are a pair of glowing, eye like orbs keeping watch for anything that should approach. Oh how the gnome wishes they had a real fully equipped expedition with them, so these excursions could last more than an hour in the dark and under constant risk of violent encounters. They could write their notes on site, with time to translate texts more properly. This is what all that training was for after all." 1/8 cost and 1/32 time of producing Common/Uncommon Scrolls. 1/4 cost and 1/8 time of other scrolls. 1/2 cost and 1/4 time on other Common/Uncommon magic items.

That...fits remarkably well, actually

Why wouldn't you use Animate Dead? I mean sure, it would, depending on the setting, shift your alignment to evil, but there are no mechanical consequences for that. And it's not like those people are using their bodies any more.

@@theuncalledfor ...... Because necromancy is often frowned upon in most settings, so only morally dubious or outright evil characters would actually use it. Do you not know what kind of game DnD is? Everything you do has consequences, assuming your DM doesn't suck.

@@haku8135 So because it is "frowned upon" it's somehow actually morally wrong?

@@theuncalledfor ........ Are you just being a troll or are you actually this stupid? I can't tell.
