    Makes me remember how a well build Divination Wizard in 3.5 could give you a -10 penalty on your next save once a day, cast disintegrate on you, and then as you roll natural 20 brags about how he predicted it all.

      The fact that divination wizard can force any creature to fail Is Amazing to me.
      Immagine fighting a boss, then you decide It Is over and force a fail on polymorf to turn him into a frog, then have your familiar drop him from 60m for 20d6 damage.
      Actually doable at lvl 7 lol.
      No Need to have success when you can force everyone else to fail.
      Can beat any class in the game as long as you get a 1, no joke, can also force legendary resistances from bosses

    The character I’m playing in my current campaign is a Divination Wizard/Gunslinger Fighter with the lucky feat. At his heart, he’s a Gambler. I’ve worked hard to make him feel like an entirely unique class based completely around his luck and pre-cognition abilities.
    He’s trying to use his uncanny luck combined with divination magic to rewrite his own destiny, trying to locate and then learn how to control the Deck of Many Things.
    And he’s neutral evil.
    And the party doesn’t know that.
    Aren’t I naughty?

  • @callumprice1710
    @callumprice1710 3 года назад +2

    Divination are fucking amazeballs to play with (if they aren't jerks but that can be said of all classes) because they basically get to "future predict" where every time they long rest they roll 2 d20 (more at higher levels) and "store" those rolls. They can basically swap almost any other d20 roll made by enemies or players, with those "stored" rolls. Effectively they "see" the future every time they take a long rest. But playing with one means you can manipulate dice, like " oh no the bbeg just made a save, how about I swap that save with the 5 I have stored so he is almost assured to fail it" or alternatively give a player a 15 for one of their rolls. But this means its kinda like bardic inspiration except it can be used to negatively affect enemies. So its kinda like a mage bard combo class in its utility, where you are still a wizard with access to fireball and all those fun spells but also with the ability to help out party members with rolls and dice manipulate. Its like having a party support wizard. Only problem is this is basically all game mechanic and not really in character, so only the wizard kinda knows he's doing it.
