The Red Wizards are the masters of Thay, the conquerors of that land’s native Rashemi, and the would-be magical overlords of Faerûn. 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. 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).

=== Requirements===
To qualify to become a Red Wizard, the character must fulfill the following criteria.

* '''Race:''' Human
* '''Feats:''' Spell Penetration, Greater Spell Penetration, one Metamagic or Item Creation Feat (other than Scribe Scroll)
* '''Spellcasting:''' Specialist Wizard, able to cast 3rd level arcane spells
* '''Skills:''' 8 Ranks in Spellcraft
* '''Alignment:''' Non-Good

===Class Skills===
The class skills of the Red Wizard are:
* Bluff
* Concentration
* Craft Alchemy
* Intimidate
* Lore
* Spellcraft

=== Class Features ===

'''Base Attack Bonus Progression:''' Low

'''Skill Points at Each Level: ''' 2 + Int modifier

''' Hit Dice:''' D4

''' Weapon and Armor Proficiency:''' The Red Wizard of Thay gains no new weapon or armor proficiencies.

'''Spells Per Day/Spells Known:''' When a new Red Wizard level is gained, the character gains new spells per day (and spells known, if applicable) as though he had gained a level in Wizard.

'''Enhanced Specialization:''' Upon becoming a Red Wizard, the character becomes even more skilled at casting spells from his chosen school of specialization - gaining +1 to DC for spells requiring a save and +1 to attempts to penetrate spell resistance. Red Wizards also lose the ability to learn new spells and use scrolls from a second prohibited school of magic (already known spells are not lost, however). This second prohibited school depends upon the Red Wizard's specialization school:

* Abjuration, Conjuration, Evocation, Necromancy, and Transmutation lose access to the school of Illusion
*Divination loses access to the school of Enchantment
*Enchantment and Illusion lose access to the school of Abjuration

'''Specialist Defense:''' A Red Wizard gains a bonus to defending against schools from his specialist school. This bonus is +1 at 1st level, +2 at 3rd level, +3 at 7th level, and +4 at 9th level.

'''Spell Power:''' At 2nd level, The Red Wizard's effective caster level for determining level-dependent variable checks for spells from all schools is increased by +1. This bonus increases by +1 every even-numbered Red Wizard level, to a maximum of +5 at 10th level.

'''Wizard Bonus Feat:''' Red Wizards gain a bonus metamagic or item creation feat at levels 5 and 10.
