Force of Wall of Force
Tired of all these spellcasters that learn so many different powerful spells with no clear reason to even cast half of them? Looking to have a specific and almost single-minded approach to mage training? Hoping to make some schmucks eat it on an invisible wall? This is the class for you!
A mage who eschews common magical theory in the sole pursuit of the wall of force spell becomes a scion of the spell itself: a Force of Wall of Force. The normal rules of wizardry are thrown out the window, and while a veteran Force of Wall of Force can't detonate a fireball or rain down lightning, they can cast their signature spell in ways otherwise unthinkable.

Spellcasting
Your training and understanding of magic center entirely around the casting of the wall of force spell. The spell list for this class consists of wall of force as well as all cantrips from the wizard and artificer spell lists.
- Cantrips
At 1st level, you know four cantrips of your choice from the force of wall of force spell list. You learn additional cantrips of your choice at higher levels, as shown in the cantrips known column of the force of wall of force table.
- Spell slots
The force of wall of force table shows the number of spell slots you have to cast the wall of force spell. You must expend a spell slot to cast this spell. You regain all expended spell slots when you finish a long rest.
- Spellcasting ability
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your spells. You are learning the ways of the wall of force spell through rigorous study, and the lessons you learn power your understanding of magic. You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
Spell attack modifier = your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence modifier
- Spellcasting focus
You can use an arcane focus or any clear gemstone as a spellcasting focus for your force of wall of force spells.
Unarmored Defense
As long as you aren't wearing armor, your armor class equals 10 + your Dexterity modifier + your Intelligence modifier.
Team Builder
When you started out, you weren't particularly helpful, being a mage who couldn't cast non-cantrips. But you won't allow that to remain unchanged. Beginning at 2nd level, you can take the Help action as a bonus action on each of your turns.
Force of Force of Wall of Force
At 3rd level, you join a league of like-minded mages... a Force of them... a Force of Force of Wall of Force. Choose between mages wall and bastion, all detailed at the end of the class description. Your choice grants you features at 3rd level and again at 9th and 17th level.
Ability Score Increase
When you reach 4th level, and again at 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 19th level, you can increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or you can increase two ability scores of your choice by 1. As normal, you can't increase an ability score above 20 using this feature.
Extra Attack
This class was a horrible idea, and I have to throw the players a bone here. At 7th level, you can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the attack action on your turn. At 13th level, you can instead take three attacks.
Multiforce
You only have one powerful spell you can cast, but you'll be danged if you aren't one of the best at it. Beginning at 10th level, you can concentrate on up to two instances of the wall of force spell. At 20th level, you can concentrate on up to three instances of the spell.
Reinforced Wall of Force
At 11th level, as long as you are concentrating on exactly one instance of the wall of force spell, you have advantage on saving throws to maintain concentration on the spell.
Wall of Force Enforcer
At 15th level, you recover all expended spell slots at the end of a short or long rest.
Unstoppable Force
At 18th level, you and any objects worn or carried by you can move freely through any wall of force created by a spell you cast.
