2d6 × 10 gp (average 70 gp). In addition, each character begins play with an outfit worth 10 gp or less.
The wizard has a Poor base attack bonus, Poor Fortitude, Poor Reflex, and Good Will saving throw bonuses. (See Table: Attack & Save Bonuses By Level, on the Classes page.)
A wizard is proficient with basic weapons, as well as any one of the following weapon groups:
(See the Weapons page for more information about weapons and weapon groups.)
(A character who does not begin as a wizard at 1st character level does not gain these proficiencies.)
Wizards are not proficient with any type of armor or shield. Armor interferes with a wizard's gestures, which can cause his spells with somatic components to fail (see Arcane Spell Failure, on the Magic page, for details.)
A wizard has the following special abilities.
Spells
A wizard casts arcane spells drawn from the sorcerer/wizard spell list. A wizard must choose and prepare his spells ahead of time.
To learn, prepare, or cast a spell, the wizard must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a witch's spell is based on Intelligence (see Spell Save DCs, on the Magic page, for details).
A wizard can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His daily spell allotment is given on Table: Wizard.
A wizard may know any number of spells. He must choose and prepare his spells ahead of time by getting 8 hours of sleep and spending 1 hour studying his spellbook. While studying, the wizard decides which spells to prepare.
A wizard begins play with a spellbook containing all 0-level wizard spells (except those from his opposed schools, if any) plus three 1st-level spells of his choice. The wizard also selects a number of additional 1st-level spells equal to his Intelligence modifier to add to the spellbook.
Gaining New Spells
Wizards perform a certain amount of spell research between adventures. Each time a character attains a new wizard level, he gains two spells of his choice to add to his spellbook. The two free spells must be of spell levels he can cast.
At any time, a wizard can also add spells found in other wizards' spellbooks to his own. Wizards can also learn spells from scrolls. (See the Spells page for details.)
Bonus Languages
A wizard may substitute Draconic, Titanic, Celestial, or Infernal (as appropriate for the world from which he hails) for one of the bonus languages available to the character because of his race.
Arcane Knowledge (Ex)
A wizard gains a +1 competence bonus on Knowledge? (arcana) checks for every two wizard levels he has. This does not necessarily represent specific knowledge of particular arcane phenomena, magical creatures, or esoteric lore; rather, this ability represents a general understanding of arcane magic and its manifestations. This ability allows the character to make untrained Knowledge? checks with any DC, not only DC 10, on applicable topics.
Read Magic (Ex)
Wizards are trained in working with magical writings and diagrams. A wizard gains a +4 competence bonus to Arcane Script checks.
See the Spells page for information about which spells have been modified from their Pathfinder versions.
