Editing Evoker (section)

==3e Evoker==
The Evoker was an option for a [[Specialist Wizard]] right out of the [[Player's Handbook]] in [[Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition]]. Whilst not as powerful as the "[[Batman]] [[Wizard]]" archetype, the evoker's focus on blasting and sniping was perfectly competent, and wouldn't piss off the [[Dungeon Master]] the way a played-for-cheese [[Enchanter]] or [[Diviner]] would.

The simplest way to build a [[Sorcerer (Dungeons & Dragons)|sorcerer]] in 3e is basically as a glorified evoker, although the relative dearth of spells that 3e sorcerers have mean this is actually a lot harder than it looks.

The Evoker eventually got its own "full class reinterpretation" in the [[Warmage]], similarly to the [[Necromancer]] and the [[Dread Necromancer]] or the [[Enchanter]] or [[Illusionist]] and the [[Beguiler]].
