Flaming Fist Wizard

Flaming Fist Wizards are wizards of the Flaming Fist that can be found guarding and patrolling the streets of Baldur's Gate during Act Three.

Involvement

Act Three

Flaming Fist Wizards can be found throughout the entire city of Baldur's Gate, guarding strategic locations such as Wyrm's Rock Fortress, Basilisk Gate Barracks, and Bloomridge Park. They can assist the party during certain public encounters, or fight against them should they be on the wrong side of the law.

Combat

Flaming Fist Wizards are powerful spellcasters that have the spell slots of a level 12 caster. They are able to create diversions and debuffs to aid their fellow Flaming Fists through upcasted  Slow and  Conjure Elemental: Fire Elemental spells, as well as being able to shut down party spells through  Counterspell. However, their damage output is low, consisting of upcasted  Melf's Acid Arrow spells and  Blight.

Notes

• Some members of this archetype may have slightly different passives, movement speed, weight, and size due to being members of different races.
• The Flaming Fist Wizard robe exists in the game as a  Simple Robe, but is inaccessible to players without third-party tools.
• Though Anderson and Shuurga have a caster archetype, and ability scores and amount of spell slots due to their race and level, both have no spells or cantrips to cast.
