Spellbook

Restricted Schools

Abjurers cannot learn spells from the schools of Alteration or Illusion unless that spell is also from the school of Abjuration.

Learn Spells Roll

The learn spell roll can be found by looking up the Intelligence Ability Score table.

Starting Spells

There are multiple rules for how to obtain your starting spells, and your GM will choose which option you will be using.

Guaranteed Versatility

At 1st-level the spell book contains 5 spells.

1 of the starting spells must be read magic
The abjurer then gains one offensive, one defensive, and one other spell. The final spell is a randomly chosen spell from the school of Abjuration.
The abjurer need not make a Learn Spells roll for any of these spells as they are assumed to have learned them over the course of their long apprenticeship.

Fast Learner

At 1st-level the spell book contains 3d4 1st-level spells.

2 of the starting spells must be read magic and detect magic.
The rest of the starting spells can be chosen from universal magic spells (1st-level spells only) without making a learn spells roll. Or make learn spells rolls for non-universal magic spells. The Abjurer can also choose one spell from the school of Abjuration (1st-level spells only) without making a learn spells roll.
The GM may assign you spells instead to start with.

Spells of Choice

At 1st-level, the abjurer chooses 1st-level spells they wish to gain and must roll learn spells checks for each spell, stopping when all 1st-level spells have been exhausted or when the abjurer has learned their maximum number of spells.

No spells are guaranteed using this method, and there is a chance that the abjurer starts with 0 spells, having to resort to finding spells through other means and fighting with weapons until that point.

Learning New Spells

Can only learn spells of a level for which you have spell slots.
Can learn a spell from another's spell book with a learn spells roll.
Gain 1 spell when leveling up. This spell must be from the school of Abjuration, and must be approved by the DM.
The maximum number of spells you can learn per level can be found by looking up the Intelligence Ability Score table.

Casting Spells

A wizard cannot just cast any spell they have learned. They must memorize these spells into appropriate spell slots ahead of time.
The wizard can only cast spells that they have memorized. The wizard cannot cast that spell again once cast, until they return to their spell book and memorizes it again.
A wizard cannot choose to forget a memorized spell to replace it with another one. They can, however, cast a spell just to cleanse his mind for another spell.

Special Features

Non-Abjurers hit by a abjuration spell save at a -1 penalty.

This penalty increases to -2 if the target is a specialist of an opposition school (alteration or illusion).

+15% chance when learning a abjuration spell
-15% chance when learning spells from other schools.

At 8th level, the abjurer gains a +1 bonus to saving throws vs. paralyzation, poison, and death magic.

At 14th level, the abjurer gains immunity to all forms of hold spells.
