Red Wizard of Thay

(PRESTIGE CLASS)
The Red Wizards are the masters of Thay, the conquerors of that land's native Rashemi, and the would-be magical overlords of Faerun. They focus on a school of magic more intently than any specialist, achieving incredible mastery of magic within a very narrow focus. Seen as cruel and evil tyrants by people across Toril, a few choose to leave their region, assume secret identities, and practice magic without having to worry about political alliances and possible slave uprisings. Early in their careers, would-be Red Wizards specialize in a school of magic and acquire the Tattoo Focus feat that prepares them for entry into the Red Wizards of Thay. All Red Wizards have some skill as a specialist wizard, and most follow that path exclusively, but a few dabble in other sorts of learning, such as combat or divine magic. While it is possible for a sorcerer or a bard to become a Red Wizard, such misfits are ridiculed in their homeland and are incredibly rare.

- Hit Dice: d4.
- Proficiencies: Red Wizards gain no weapon, armor or shield proficiencies.

BONUS SPELLS:

Upon gaining a level in Red Wizard of Thay, the character gains new spells per day as if he had also gained a level in his highest caster class (bard, sorcerer, or wizard). He does not learn any new spells through his abilities. He does not, however, gain any other benefit a character of that class would have gained (e.g., improved familiar, bonus feats).
