Wizard is a character Class in Baldur's Gate 3.

Overview

Wizards channel magic through their extensive knowledge of the arcane to fight enemies and aid allies in combat. Wizards use Intelligence as their primary ability score.

Class information

Attributes

Hit points: At level 1: 6 + Constitution modifier; On level up: 4 + Constitution modifier
Key Ability Scores: Intelligence for Spells; Constitution for Hit Points and Concentration checks; Dexterity for Armour Class
Spellcasting Ability: Intelligence
Prepared spells

You may swap your Prepared Spells at any time while out of combat, but can only have a certain number of Spells prepared at a time. The Spells must be of a level for which you have Spell Slots.
Spell Scribing: Spellscribing button on the Spellbook page
A Wizard who finds a Scroll for a Spell they do not know may permanently copy that Spell to their Spellbook at the cost of the scroll and 50gp per level of the Spell (Picture example). The Spell must be one for which the Wizard has a spell slot, even if they got it by multiclassing (so a L4 Cleric / L1 Wizard can transcribe Level 3 spells); note that this will not work for Warlock spell slots as they are a unique incompatible type. For information about how this interacts with multiclassing, class changes, and unobtainable scrolls, see the dedicated page for the feature.
