Chad Fightercock has ascended to the godhead after killing the god of magic by punching him really hard. You're all losing 1 spellcasting level per day until Chad is defeated and the god of magic resurrected.

I ran an all spellcaster campaign where everyone rolled a wizard except one was a druid. Was one of the most fun campaigns I ran and it wasn't even light on the dungeon crawling. Don't hold their hands and don't be afraid if their characters are overwhelmed and they have to reroll.
Offer them chances to get cheap hirelings to be meatshields. Worst case scenario let them find some magic item that summons something once a day or whatever to help soak hits.

Honestly OP, the situation CAN work out, especially if you do something like pic related - which is to say, actually pay attention to what sort of wizards your players want to be, see if they can be fit into any departments or a hierarchy of any kind, instead of having them meet at a bar they could just meet at the buffet table of some event in Wizard College or something

It all depends on knowing what KIND of wizard your players want to play/have played before, If they are retards who are likly to fall out with eachother than engange in byzantian political scheming where you KNEW they'd wage war on each other eventually and the villain is essentially pulling a machevellian scheme to ensure that they either 1. keep the magical mayhem bickering to a minimum, preferably between themselves or 2. justifiably use any civilian casualties or unintended magic shit happening to strengthen their own political position because they can link the all wizard party to that event via non-magical, actually admisable in a legal court means.

Beast Lore is just really terrible in 2e, which I prefer. I actually had a system to overcharge magic before 4e came out, and a proper wizard's staff made a channeling test a free action. I had rules for channeling over multiple turns too, to at least give the possibility of using stronger spells at the cost of time. Worked pretty alright.

Oh, a number of reasons. First to remember is that a journeyman is basically a wizard grad student, plenty dangerous but not as much as the average mud grubber suspects. Official papers or not, it's sometimes less annoying and safer to not be noticed at all. For a heirophant specifically, you're often going to be sniffing up the trail of daemonologists and their luckiest, so surprise works to your advantage. And there's nothing to say you can't change into your nice robes to take advantage of a local noble or merchant's desire to look cosmopolitan by having you at table.

That’s fine. You’re now playing a PvP intrigue game on top of regular dungeon crawling.
>low level encounters will kill one
>another will likely drop the class out of boredom by 4th or 5th level
>the remaining wizards will begin squabbling over limited loot and forming their own paranoid suspicions when you start handing out notecards silently to each player detailing what powerful item they’ve acquired or valuable information they’ve discovered.
All wizards parties are tremendous fun if you can shift your mindset and adapt the game to more of an unspoken competition. Let them know you will allow PvP at the start and I guarantee it will be a shitstorm of epic proportions within 2 sessions.

>>
>>90290511
What's the problem? Any DM worth his salt should have no trouble with this. Do you find it difficult to run a game involving just one class? Can't you break away from the WOW standard of a Tank, a couple of DPS and a healer? A bunch of apprentices forming their own magic alliance and adventuring together can be great fun.
>>
>>90290511
sounds like fun actually, especially if they are all different types of wizards. As a DM your going to have to prepare accordingly with more magic based enemies to go around with heavy usage of silence, darkness, and other spells that force the wizard gang to think outside the box. Also consider banning counter spell since your players are guaranteed to spam that when they get level 3 spell slots and invalidate all of your attempts to counter their magical dominance.
Also just general DM advice if your players do something broken let them get away with it, but if they start relying on whatever gimmick they've put together then its up to you to shut it down make an encounter with the soul purpose to counter it if you must, and if that doesnt work tell them to quit that shit since its spoiling the fun (assuming it does actually spoil the fun for you).

I think I only played a wizard like twice? I play mostly martials and among them mostly barbarians and monks. The times I played wizards I stopped after a few levels and GM agreed because I was cakewalking the game. The only thing I did was picking fogs, grease like effects, and other stuff that I as a martial would have hated dealing with, mostly divide and conquer type spells that even if you save they hinder movement or sight. Damage spells? I think I didn't pick any, all worthless, only a few stat damage ones and mostly Con

Who said that can't be fun? This would allow your players to create a diverse array of wizards, each specialized in their own take on magic.

>They are evil "comic book nerds" that hate each other but just hang around because nobody else is willing to hang around with them - they argue about history and magic like pissed off nerds and are prone to outburst every time someone gets wrong some obscure magic detail wrong

>They are scammers, selling fake magic items for high price, when in reality they are just prestidigitation spells and other low tuer tricks

>They used to serve a dark lord, but tried betrayng him, and in exchange got cursed with long life and madness. Now they mostly wander around like rambling hobos, but if they can focus their attention they are dangerous.

First, have you tried not playing D&D?
Second, that sounds fucking awesome. Single-class parties have so much potential, and so many unified adventure seeds, and you can take people into so many different directions under the same core concepts, like one can be an enchanter, another some kind of illusionist charlatan, and someone can be the classic studious professional know-it-all wiseman, while someone else is the ambitious red wizard autist.

Good luck and have fun! I am genuinely jealous. I would fucking love to play in a game like this, but no-one ever takes the bait when I try to angle for it.

Fuck, that sounds even better. I want to play Clerical Error. A group of different clerics of different faiths, brought together by chance or necessity, working together to investigate something that's wrong and that concerns all their faiths.

Literally all you need to do is tell them that no-one can have more than one domain shared by anyone else, and they should all turn out fairly different. Of course, I'd run it as spontaneous divine casting, too, obviously.

Replace that with Mage that is how I broke my players from D&D-only shit. I had them roll up their D&D characters then converted them into Mage behind their backs and at the end of the first session their characters logged out of Wizards101 and I handed them their actual characters.
I mean it was WoD but sometimes you gotta take baby steps.

I will post a hell of a niche throwback that will seem like it came from nowhere, but didn't the Warcraft RPG had mages/wizards handicapped somewhat due to how corrupting and volatile Arcane magic could be (as opposed to Divine and Nature) and had options for implementing it mechanically?

Why not pull a Warcraft/Warhammer angle of "dangerous knowledge"?

>They are evil "comic book nerds" that hate each other but just hang around because nobody else is willing to hang around with them - they argue about history and magic like pissed off nerds and are prone to outburst every time someone gets wrong some obscure magic detail wrong
To make this even better, their debate has an incredibly simple solution. If it’s a history argument, people are still alive who witnessed the event and scholars recorded it in detail. If it’s a magical argument, a simple experiment would answer their question. But doing something like that would imply they’re not sure of their answer, and risk damaging their pride if they’re wrong. So it never occurs to them.
A PC resolving the argument leads the entire wizard group to gang up on them, each interpreting the answer as proving them right. No matter how straightforward the question is.

I think people assume big strong men pick up a thing or two about fighting by the time they're 40 so wouldn't be level one. also why I liked to start games at level 5. gives players much more leeway with their backstories and to do some of the DM work for you

Original D&D Magic was supposedly brain damaging in certain aspects, whenever you cast a spell, you forgot how to cast it before preparing it, literally causing temp. alzhaimers.
