White wizards are learned spellcasters who turn clarity of purpose into battlefield command. Their magic shapes sightlines, movement, and morale; their voice can steady allies, halt a charge, or make hesitation feel inevitable. They are not the most destructive casters, but they excel at deciding where a fight happens and who gets to act with confidence.
The voice that gives the battlefield its shape.
Full caster; battlefield controller, tactical support, and forceful negotiator.

Authority Dice
Hit die d6
Intelligence
ConstitutionYou gain spellcasting, a spellbook, and the ability to prepare and cast White Wizard spells using Intelligence. You use the Wizard spell-slot progression; your spellbook and preparation work as described in the 2024 Wizard Spellcasting feature, but your class spells come from the White Wizard spell list.
You gain proficiency in Insight and one other skill from the White Wizard skill options. You also gain proficiency with Calligrapher’s Supplies, and you can use your spellbook as a spellcasting focus for your White Wizard spells.
You gain a pool of Authority Dice equal to your Proficiency Bonus, regained when you finish a Long Rest. The dice are d6s, becoming d8s at level 5, d10s at level 11, and d12s at level 17. As a Bonus Action, choose a creature within 60 feet that can hear you and expend a die to issue a brief command: an ally can use its Reaction to move up to half its Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks, or an enemy must make a Wisdom save against your spell save DC or have its Speed reduced to 0 until the start of your next turn.
You can cast one prepared White Wizard spell of level 1 with the Ritual tag as a Ritual if it is in your spellbook. You can also add a spell you find to your spellbook by spending the usual time and gold described for a Wizard.
Choose a White Wizard subclass. Your choice grants features at levels 3, 6, 10, and 14.
When you use Voice of Authority, you can affect two creatures within range with the same command by expending an additional Authority Die. Each creature makes its own save if the command calls for one.
Ability Score Improvement
When you roll Initiative and have no Authority Dice remaining, you regain one die. In addition, a creature that succeeds on its save against your Voice of Authority is immune to your enemy-targeting command until the start of your next turn.
You gain a feature from your White Wizard subclass.
Once on each of your turns when you deal damage with a White Wizard spell, you can reduce one affected creature’s Speed by 10 feet until the start of your next turn.
Ability Score Improvement
When you roll Initiative, you can choose a number of willing creatures up to your Intelligence modifier (minimum one) within 60 feet that can hear you. Each chosen creature gains Temporary Hit Points equal to your White Wizard level.
You gain a feature from your White Wizard subclass.
When you expend an Authority Die, roll it twice and use either result for any effect that uses the die’s roll. You also regain all expended Authority Dice when you finish a Short or Long Rest.
Ability Score Improvement
When you use Voice of Authority, you can affect one additional creature for each Authority Die you expend beyond the first, rather than requiring one extra die per additional creature. You can still affect no more than five creatures with one use.
You gain a feature from your White Wizard subclass.
When you or an ally within 30 feet fails a saving throw, you can use your Reaction and expend an Authority Die to add the die roll to the save, potentially turning it into a success. A creature can benefit from this feature only once per turn.
Ability Score Improvement
When you roll Initiative and have fewer than two Authority Dice remaining, you regain dice until you have two. Your Authority Dice become d12s if they have not already.
When a creature succeeds on a saving throw against one of your White Wizard spells, it takes Psychic damage equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1). A creature can take this damage only once per turn.
You gain the Ability Score Improvement feat or another feat for which you qualify. You also gain an Epic Boon feat or another feat for which you qualify.
When you roll Initiative, you regain all expended Authority Dice. Once per Long Rest, when you issue a command with Voice of Authority, you can choose any number of creatures you can see within 60 feet; each can immediately move up to half its Speed without provoking Opportunity Attacks, and each enemy of your choice must succeed on a Wisdom saving throw or have the Stunned condition until the end of your next turn.

MulticlassingTo multiclass into or out of White Wizard, you must meet the 2024 multiclassing prerequisite of Intelligence 13. You gain only the proficiencies specified by the multiclassing rules; spell slots follow the multiclass spellcaster rules. Authority Dice are based on your White Wizard level, not your total level.
Full spellcasting, using the 2024 Wizard spell-slot progression and Intelligence.
You prepare White Wizard spells from your spellbook as a Wizard does; your spellbook starts with six level 1 White Wizard spells and gains two White Wizard spells of a level you can cast whenever you gain a White Wizard level. You can also copy eligible White Wizard spells you find into it. The spellList field is a thematic selection, not an exhaustive list; use the White Wizard spell list as the class list.

White wizards are learned spellcasters who turn clarity of purpose into battlefield command.
Their magic shapes sightlines, movement, and morale; their voice can steady allies, halt a charge, or make hesitation feel inevitable. They are not the most destructive casters, but they excel at deciding where a fight happens and who gets to act with confidence.
You are a full caster who shapes the field and helps allies act decisively.
Use control spells to create favorable positions, then spend Authority Dice when a single move or failed save could change the fight. Your best turns often improve the whole party rather than maximize your own damage; track reactions, hearing, range, and your limited dice carefully.
Most White Wizards begin as diligent students of arcane theory, rhetoric, history, or military strategy.
A mentor tests not only their spellcraft but their judgment: initiates must resolve a tense dispute or crisis without relying on threats or magic to override consent. Those who pass receive a spellbook and a charge to use influence responsibly.
People often welcome a White Wizard’s counsel in a crisis, then wonder whether they chose freely or were expertly guided.
Rulers prize their insight, soldiers respect their ability to steady a line, and communities that have suffered under coercive leaders may distrust them on sight.
