DM: so player I hear you got a wizard for me
Player: yeah he's a Kalishtar order of scribe wizard
DM: Oh that's rare
Player: his dream spirit is an ancient Egyptian king
DM: we don't have egypt but I'll think of something
Player: also as a wizard he writes his spells onto playing cards he keeps on his forearm called a duel disk
DM: ... Duel disk? ... What is your wizard named again
Player: yugi moto
This....this is good 😂
awesoooome
Now I want to play my own monster card duelist theme character
I declare this idea plagarised... by me
@@idankatz8085 the court of belial has heard your case, and in the case of Katz v. H'ghar the court rules in favor of H'ghar
I got inspired by the wizardly quill giving you the ability to draw in any color over any surface and think that you can do a graffiti artist with this, theming your spells as street art.
Brilliant for a modern campaign!
I had an idea of a scribes wizard that uses a needle instead of a quill to make spells as tattoos on your skin instead of in a book. Adding to the manifest mind Cortana from Halo is a good option.
Ooh, I like that! Fun thinking about what the awakened mind would look like!
In D&D 3.5 there was a creature called Runic Guardian on the Monster Manual II that said it would need it's entire body marked with runes to have tier 7 spell Soo . . . Yeah the closest thing we have to official rules for tattoo spells don't look good. But hey if you you talk a little with your DM you could also gain innate casting of a 7th level spell once per long rest. Or you could have extra: 1 1st level, 2nd level, 2rd level and 1 5th level spell.
Cool idea. You could really create a more dark and sinister character by leaning into the body horror element. Say, the tattoos burn themselves away, including the surrounding skin, when the spell is used. The Scribe has to tattoo themselves again during rest periods. Your spell slots are literally your limbs, and higher level spells require larger areas of flesh to be tattooed over.
I love scribes wizard so, so much. One thing I want to try at some point is multiclassing three or four levels of monster slayer ranger for the Hunter's Sense feature, which lets you straight-up force the DM to tell you which damage types a monster is resistant, immune, or vulnerable to -- admittedly pretty MAD, but if you go custom-origin half-elf you can take the standard array and still start with a 16 Intelligence and 14 each in Dexterity, Constitution, and Wisdom.
Every one makes the same mistake. It's not the level of the spell you are casting, it's the level of the spell slot you are using. Example fireball cast with a third level slot you could use damage type of third level spells. But fireball upcast to a fifth level slot you could use damage only from fifth level spells, such as psychic, necrotic, or force, (synaptic static, negative energy flood, or steel wind strike).
I've definitely got some ideas from this. I'm thinking about a historian that casts spells and causes historical events to appear for their spellcasting, ex. Cloud of Daggers summoning an illusion of a battlefield, and anyone caught inside is stabbed by warriors who don't notice them there

Noice
I have a few ideas.
The Amnesiac: You were once a great wizard, however, you lost your memory. No worries, you had a contingency for this. You have stored your memories into various magic items that guide you along your journey. One of which is your awakened spellbook. As the campaign goes on, you slowly get your memories back.
The Apprentice: You have taken on the study of magic. The only trouble is, your Master got themselves trapped inside a book.
The Conduit: This one requires another wizard player. The Awakened Spellbook is a fantasy device that psychically links both you and the other Wizard. This allows you to share knowledge. Make sure you or the other wizard has the Sending cantrip. Grab a bunch of knowledge skills (especially Arcana) and grab the skill expert feat to gain expertise. Now use that spell book to send information between you and the other wizard.
The Monk: This takes more of a martial arts theme, only you are using intelligence instead of wisdom. The spell book is a series of mystical martial arts techniques passed down through the ages. Your spells are cast through a bunch of seemingly mundane items such as rings, a quarterstaff, and a cloak. However, each of these items is in fact sentient. Basically, you're playing Dr Strange.
The Multiverse Scholar: You are a person who can enter a multiversal mind link through your dreams that connects multiple worlds. The knowledge of various races can be found in this realm, allowing you to access these places. Your Spell Book helps you connect with these places and access this information.
The apprentice book idea reminds me of the Xbox game "Kameo". :)
That Multiverse Scholar idea is from Everything, Everywhere, All At Once, init? :D
@@3nertia I haven't seen that film. Though I have heard it's really good.
@@The482075 I highly recommend it!
Now I am imagining a chef wizard with Gordon Ramsay as a sentient cookbook
So my Scribe story ties in with my background, Cloistered Scholar. Cloistered scholar lists some libraries or Sage Houses that you were taught in. So I thought of this(his name’s Kleo) Kleo would always read rather than play as a young child. While in a library, he wandered into a restricted section, and found an Eldritch tome. After trying to perform a ritual that was too high level, he was ripped away from his home and teleported to an unknown location. After some wandering and living on the street, he found that the city he was in was Silverymoon. He was taken in by the Map House, and started his Wizard training there. After training for 7 years, he became a sort of ambassador for the Map House, and now wanders the world experimenting with magic and furthering the knowledge of the arcane.
I came up with the idea of using the “Rune Carver” background from Bigby presents “Glory of the Giants”.
Imagine a Scribes Wizard that studied Runecraft and was able to wield the magic of Giants.
I made a Scribes wizard with the entertainer background, a musician who seeks to understand complicated arcane sigils through song and lyric. His spellbook was a repertoire of songs, each a different spell whose melody translated to magic. His awakened mind was a cascading string of notes, and he could transmute the damage of his spells by thinking of different ways to play the song in his head, ie different instruments, dynamics, tempo, or key signature. Going by your naming idea, I’d call his archetype the Arcane Composer
Makes total sense to awaken the mind through the magic of song! well done!
Lovely!
I had an idea that you were being haunted by someone who used to own the book
Love the Zordon idea! Very fun!
Gotta bring the childhood back!
I play in a local clubs game, a gnome order of scribes wizard who was previously an archaeologist focused on Dragons.
He became a professor at the Greyhawk university museum aswell as the acting head-librarian, and so he went on regular expeditions to excavations.
One of the excavations lead to an ancient dragon-cult library where there was indeed a dragon bound to a spellbook, the bronze-scaled monster itself sealed away to the aethereal plane, in an exact copy of the ancient library while it was still active.
Now the bronze dragon (LN), lives and travels alongside my wizard bound in the spellbook and teaching the gnome professor the secrets of the arcane along their travels together.
Its a 5e Spelljammer campaign, so I doubt the Greyhawk Uni will ever see their head-archaeologist again soon...
Another great video !
I'm thinking about doing a villain with this subclass, what with the sentient source of magic corrumpting the wizard.
I'm playing an Order of Scribes wizard in my current campaign, and even without reflavoring, I love the subclass. I love being able to instantly cast certain Rituals, especially since my DM's setting is one of planar travel, and we have a scroll that can return us when we need to that we can use through a 10 minute ritual. A ritual that my character can use with his ability. We haven't had to use it yet, but just having the option makes us bold and makes us commit to fights that have been tense and amazing.
Hey friend! Great to see you around! That sounds amazing! Love it when the players get bold!
i love the "Recorder" idea, i had a similar flavor with an arcane programmer Scribe that could summon a hologram like Fi from Skyward Sword, but now i want to make a character that talks like Jacket rom Payday 2.
Im playing a gnome scribes wizard (with one level in order cleric) in a campaign right now.
A pickle merchant who prepares his spells by cooking his spell components into pickled eggs. The pickled egg jar glows during casting and if you look closely, the eggs turn to planets and the cloudy herbs and spices turn to galaxies in the jar.
His families fortune comes from thier secret, a tree in the swamp with a tiny star in its trunk. The remnants of a smite from a long dead god. Through research the family found that it could be used to gain access to the powers and secrets of the clerics with out devoting your self to a willful or petty God. There are plenty of long dead gods and great heroes who have transcend to constellations in the sky. Dead gods and heroes aren't using this power. What harm could it do? They call this power source The Celestial Compost.
Absolutely amazing
i made a scribes wizard that was a plasmoid who was originally ink in a bottle until an animate objects spell went wrong and well ink blob plasmoid. the same goes for the spell book it was animated the same way only the knowledge in the book became sentient and uses illusion spell in its pages to project an image of what it thinks it would look like outside the book. the character has no need for a quill just uses a pseudopod and when someone is attuning to a magic tattoo that my character made it is just him slowly making the ink form under the skin, like if a tattoo artist didn't need to move the needle the ink just goes under the skin and goes where it is suppose to.
Ok this is BRILLIANT! and perfect fun for spelljammer coming up!
@@TheClericCorner well spelljammer wasn't what I had in mind but can be yeah I have a second scribes wizard also who's an Air Elemental Dragonborn who has a spell book but it is inhabited by a sylph who is his familiar as well and when he casts a spell changing it to bludgeoning damage its just the sylph changing the damage to buffering air/wind. Same goes for other elements it is just him asking different spirits and smaller fey to change the damage type for him.
Wanted to put this here before I forgot. Next time you get around to fighter, any ideas for flavoring the Psi Warrior. I can't get jedi knight out of my head and would love some other examples to get my head in the right space.
My OoS wizard wandered through a portal in his college’s library (borrowing the idea of L-Space from the Discworld novels, that all libraries in the multiverse are interconnected) and discovered an abandoned iPhone 4S, taking it as his spellbook. The quill is a stylus, copying spells from scrolls is taking photos of them, the Awakened sentience is Siri (“Sir Eye”), and when I get to level 6 the “scholar from the past” Manifest Mind is going to be Steve Jobs. One finger’s worth of Shocking Grasp recharges the phone.
You could also reflavor as a artist your awaken mind a painting plate and switching spell types as changing colors on your painting
Ooh, sounds like some fun chromaturgy!
Loved this idea: your wizard is a mute that has a powerful grimwar that currently is a +1 to attach and saves but with enough study and practice can become the legendary +3.
This spell book has been lost for ages and kills anyone who opens it, so when you find it you as a scribe wizard are able to manifest the souls of those your spell book has killed and you roll play them.
Because the wizard can’t talk you play the manifested mind and translate what the super intelligent wizard is trying to tell everyone and participate in the verbal part of each spell
I picture this as a surfer dude, valley girl, or old farmer who can’t make the wizard too mad cause they don’t get to experience life if they aren’t manifested but the wizard can’t communicate or cast spells if they aren’t happy with him.
So much fun!
Great timing! I'm actually building a scribes wizard for an upcoming game
ooh! Let us know what you whip up!
@@TheClericCorner mark of scribing gnome, scribes wizard. Went full scribe lol. He's the burnt out gifted kid. Focuses on magic built around language with some charm spells mixed in, but his main damage spells are lightning based since he can use shocking grasp, witch bolt, and firebolt (reflavored with lightning)... going for the "creative spark" vibe with the spells hence lightning
He's an anthropologist by trade, hence the love for spoken and written language
I just like the idea of an Artillerist Artificer /Scribe, using lots of low level spells on wands and scrolls to make a magic missile mini gun from 1 big scroll
My awakened spellbook is the spirit of an elvish mage from long ago, its half Jarvis and half teacher.
I do the weekly recaps as my wizard dictating to his mentor, who quipd back at him.
I can see your spell book being tattoos on your body.
And when it wakes up, all the ink runs off your body and spirals around and forms some sort of creature. Would be interesting if that was your familiar as well but not necessary. And depending on what color inks you use, the creature are those colors. So like hiring spells might be gold ink.
Hope we get a video for Bladesingers.
I played a Tempest Cleric/Scribes Wizard character who was a kitsune. Her awakened spellbook was her own body, and the spells appeared as magical tattoos. To fit the lightning and thunder theme, her Manifest Mind is a Will-O-Wisp called Foxfire. 🙂
Im making a elderly gnome scribe wizard named Gary Gimblespunk who used to have a job copying books and spells and such, but was recently laid off due to the new fangled technology of a printer. He has a comically large spellbook with stereotypical purple wizard robes with gold stars and giant round glasses.
well I was in a group and I made a scribes wizard but my spellbook was a huge scroll that had maps drawn over the spells to hide them, my awakend mind since I was playing an owlin was an owl sage his quill was just a feather he plucked from himself and his familiar was a owl and used it to make his maps by having a bird eye view from above
Automan (1980's tv series) makes a great theme.
10:45 maybe you could multi class a few levels in genie warlock and take pact of the tomb, you find a genie lamp that has a genie trapped inside and all they want is to gain knowledge of the world and you agree to help as long as you get a bit of power from the genie
5:55 lvl 1 sorcerer, variant human feat metamagic adept: transmuted spell, (twin/distant/careful/empowered), warlock lvl 3 pact of the tome, then Scribes Wizard
someone's inner power blossoms, then starts growing rapidly, so they seek out any magic book, find a sus one, and realize they need training
In the Dark Sun setting arcane magic is illegal so wizards have to hide their spellbooks among other things to conceal their magic use. I had an idea that my wizard would use his really long beard as his spellbook with the necessary info recorded in various braids, beads and weaving patterns. Instead of a magic quill he has a little lizard familiar that lives in his beard and does his braiding and beading
My wizard found a strange crystal and metal looking glass that, when charged with shocking grasp, is a spellbound connected to an invisible network of information.
It's my phone. The quill is the stylus.
Made a human Order of Scribes wizard who stumbles upon a smartphone-like device which served not only as a spellbook but also a library of various books all over the multiverse. However it's processing of information can vary depending on some skill checks, more specifically on history, investigation, and arcana.
I have this character idea of a below average size gnome who’s animated spell book is a angel and demon version of himself so a evil and void gnome but he’s just so nice that his evil side is just a little rude
I played a scribe that useless the Faceless(?) background. Part of thing was i had to give subtle clies as to who i actually was. It took over 20 sesions before anyone figured it out.
I'm playing one of these nerdy people as my first character. RUclips algorithm working well for once! I took inspiration from Avatar and the ancestral barbarkan. The mind in the book isn't entirely his own creation, it's made with the spirit of an ancestor. When he reaches 14 that bonus on arcana checks will basically be fragments of memories of the spirit's past life. The rest of its consciousness is used up with animating the quill and storing knowledge in case the book ia destroyed and it needs to be resummoned into another.
I'm curious about that part of the level 2 feature; resummoning your spellbook at will in 1 hour. No cost other than another blank book. What did that look like with the geomancer and his tablets? :P
I don't really understand the familiar one. Are you combining your manifested mind and familiar in to one ability, losing out on having them both be seperate? And when you and your familiar is combined into one body, does that mean you no longer have access to the familiar spell?
So I dm for kids, my current dmpc is an order of scribes eizard whose spell book/lore hold/formula text/grimiore is a manifested part of his soul. Something he forged with in himself as part of his right of passage. He comes from a race of people are either druids, clerics, or sorcerers. He chose the dificult path and so learned the mathmatics and runic scripts of magic rather than become something he knew he wasn't.
I call this version The Meta-Mathematician
I'm casting dragons breath with bludgeoning damage, what are you doing with your spells?
Bullet seed
I've got a Half Elf, Half Thri-Kreen character for a Spelljammer Campaign named Luna Actias (Part of her appearance & her full name's based on the Luna Moth). Her personality is basically Elle Woods & Keyleth of Vox Machina in that she's very bubbly, out-going, &, although a bit ditzy, can be very wise for her age. Initially I was gonna go for the "Familiar" route with a bit of a Warlock feel in that Luna's familiar is actually her accidental patron disguised as her familiar. But, then I realized it completely against her morals & "No Cheat Codes" Mantra.
So now I might go with the "Carver" Build, but, because Moth Jokes about Moths being attracted to lamps, I wanted lights, more specifically candles, to be her power source, so I might be going for a candlemaker feel for the "Carver" build. The candles themselves are a different color corresponding with either the element or magic school (I.E: Illusion, Conjuration, Divination) & her awakened spellbook is basically Madame Leota from "The Haunted Mansion" but with a more Man in the Moon feel rather than ghostly feel.
Update: So, my sister & I talked about it, & we agreed that the whole "Elle Woods" Feel I was going for was enough for her character & I didn't have to over complicate her character with the "Carver" Build.
But yeah, I can definitely see Luna's "Animated Spellbook" basically being one of those chibi server screens with a little chibi mothman Mascot acting as the personification of her spellbook or something.
DUDE I had the exact same idea for an ancestral guardian in the spellbook. I had the idea of a Dwarf OoS Wizard who like his grandfather or some dead ancestor is not like the other dwarfs and when he found his grandfather's spellbook but he was also a smith and dwarfcraft and magic was against the rules. And then he found out and gets exiled. bit iffy on the backstory. iffy about the backstory
I just came up with a wizard who really has no magical ability who finds an item while no one can detect magic coming from it (though some swear they have seen mysterious figures of creatures in it) the new wizard knows his spells come from it
But why it can't have magic detected in it or why it can give a non magical person magic or even who or what inside it does no one knows
The awakened mind takes random forms of creatures such as psuedodragons mephits and other things when summoned
I see that what do you meme in the background - A wizard that wields spells in the form of depicted comedic memes...
Day 1 of asking for a necro-wizard video. (Btw, love the videos, keep the good work)
Thank you! Might be a bit since we get back to the wizard 😅
My scribes wizard has a gauntlet that holds my spells that has holes in it to hold runestones that look like the Jackie Chan adventures talismans with a picture of the spell on it
When he cast the spell he draws a octagon in the air and a the picture of the spell drawing itself inside the octagon
The awakened mind looks like the frame of a d12 with a brain inside of it
My brother when I told him said it sounds like the infinity gauntlet
Edit I forgot to mention he found the gauntlet with the spell runes in an ancient temple
the character is kinda like a magical Indiana jones who unlike Dr Jones searches temples because it's fun and has treasure though learning a bit of history is also cool to him
CHOIRBALL!
My scribes wizard uses a ribbon, which normally holds her hair.
Sorry got distracted by the sign in the back that says SRIBES

Finally someone noticed 😎
@@TheClericCorner I had to dig further than I thought into the comments to find this. :D
First!
I really like your videos. But the background music is unnerving. One can’t concentrate with this doodling sound!!! Please stop using it!
Why does everyone NOT READ the feature proper. To change the damage type, it's not the level of the spell. It's the level at which you cast the spell from the spell slot. Fireball cast with a third level slot can be changed to any other damage type type of third level. But upcast at fifth level spell slot, you use a damage type of fifth level spell. PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND BEFORE YOU MAKE A VIDEO. You have good ideas, but learn the features. Magic missile cast at 5th level slot can be damage type changed to any type of 5th level spell.
