Madflavz Posted Saturday at 01:27 AM Share Posted Saturday at 01:27 AM I was wondering if anyone would be interested in creating a mod for Baldur’s Gate 3 that adds the Red Wizard as a Wizard subclass or maybe even as a feat. The Red Wizards are already referenced in game through the Necromancy of Thay book, so it feels like a natural, lore friendly addition. In D&D 3.5e, the Red Wizard was a prestige class that focused exclusively on a specific school of magic and using Circle Magic. In 5e, there are a few cool ways this could be adapted. One option could be a full Wizard subclass as an alternative to the School of Necromancym, less focused on raising undead minions and more on controlling death magic itself, with Thayan inspired features that emphasize raw necrotic power, suppression, or magical dominance. Another route could be a subclass centered on cooperative magic, leaning into the Circle Magic flavor by boosting spells when cast with allies or over time. A feat version could also work that adds unique bonuses when synergizing spells with other party members. Here are some homebrew takes for inspiration: https://www.reddit.com/r/UnearthedArcana/comments/7okkay/archetype_wizard_archetype_red_wizard_of_thay/ https://www.reddit.com/r/UnearthedArcana/comments/dd8k2b/red_wizard_training_new_feat/ https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/68902-my-take-on-one-of-my-iconic-wizard-groups-subclass Would be awesome to see this brought into BG3 if any modders that also love Forgotten Realsm lore want to give it a shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
