I wasn’t sure what Ritalin would be wearing underneath their skirt so I decided to see if their old pants would fit. It doesn’t seem to, but I liked drawing it

I think the reason I love DnD wizards, aside from enjoying the mechanics of playing them, is that, in RP terms, wizards can be people with no real talent or innate special ability beyond a sheer determination to learn magic the hard way.

Wizards are really the only class who prioritize the “Intelligence” score, which in DnD terms is more about acquired knowledge than any kind of inherent ability. They have no great athletic ability, like the martial classes. They’re unique among all DnD spellcasters – they aren’t grappling with and trying to control great power they’d have no matter what (like a sorcerer) or receiving power from a mighty force beyond themselves that demands responsibility and devotion (like a cleric or a warlock). 

Wizards seek out power. Which, in DnD worlds, is actually kind of a nuts thing to do. So it’s always fun to figure our why your wizard character would even want to learn all these arcane secrets. Why they would work so, so hard at it, in spite of all the danger. Wizards can be characters with no “talent” or “special skill” beyond a work ethic and determination to try their hardest.

I just…love the RP possibilities that opens up. That’s why wizards are my favorite class. And also probably why I gravitate toward loving wizard characters in DnD shows and podcasts.
