Abjurer
Shield Companions and Banish Foes
Your study of magic is focused on spells that block, banish, or protect—ending harmful effects, banishing evil influences, and protecting the weak. Abjurers are sought when baleful spirits require exorcism, when important locations must be guarded against magical spying, and when portals to other planes of existence must be closed. Adventuring parties value Abjurers for the protection they provide their companions against a variety of hostile magic and other attacks.
Level 3: Abjuration Savant
Choose two Wizard spells from the Abjuration school, each of which must be no higher than level 2, and add them to your spellbook for free.
In addition, whenever you gain access to a new level of spell slots in this class, you can add one Wizard spell from the Abjuration school to your spell book for free. The chosen spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.
Level 3: Arcane Ward
You can weave magic around yourself for protection. When you cast an Abjuration spell with a spell slot, you can simultaneously use a strand of the spell’s magic to create a magical ward on yourself that lasts until you finish a Long Rest. The ward has a Hit Point maximum equal to twice your Wizard level plus your Intelligence modifier. Whenever you take damage, the ward takes the damage instead. If this damage reduces the ward to 0 Hit Points, you take any remaining damage. While the ward has 0 Hit Points, it can’t absorb damage, but its magic remains.
If you have resistance or immunity to a damage type, all applied before the Arcane Ward takes damage.
Whenever you cast an Abjuration spell with a spell slot, the ward regains a number of Hit Points equal to twice the level of the spell slot. Alternatively, as a Bonus Action, you can expend a spell slot, and the ward regains a number of Hit Points equal to twice the level of the spell slot expended.
Once you create the ward, you can’t create it again until you finish a Long Rest.
Level 6: Projected Ward
When a creature that you can see within 30 feet of yourself takes damage, you can use your Reaction to cause your Arcane Ward to absorb that damage. If this damage reduces the ward to 0 Hit Points, the warded creature takes any remaining damage.
If the creature has resistance or immunity to a damage type, all applied before the Arcane Ward takes damage.
Level 10: Spell Breaker
You always have the Counterspell and Dispel Magic spell prepared, you can cast Dispel Magic as a Bonus Action, and you can add your Proficiency Bonus to its ability check.
If you cast either of the spells with a spell slot, if the spell fails to either counter another spell or dispel a spell, you spell slot is not expended.
Level 14: Spell Resistance
You have Advantage on saving throws against spells, and you have Resistance against the damage of spells.
