Class Features[edit]

All of the following are class features of the Philosopher:

Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Philosophers are skilled with all simple weapons. Philosophers are not proficient with any type of armor nor with shields.

Spells: A philosopher casts arcane spells which are drawn from the philosopher list. A philosopher casts spells spontaneously.

To cast a spell, the philosopher must have an Intelligence score equal to at least 10 + the spell level. The Difficulty Class for a saving throw against a philosopher’s spell is 10 + the spell level + the philosopher’s Intelligence modifier.

Like other spellcasters, a philosopher can cast only a certain number of spells of each spell level per day. His base daily spell allotment is given on Table: The Philosopher. In addition, she receives bonus spells per day if she has a high Intelligence score. A philosopher must rest for 8 hours before casting spells
