Editing Evoker (section)

==4e Evoker==
The Evoker returned as a subclass for the [[Mage]] in [[Dungeons & Dragons 4th Edition]]. Being an Evoker was handled as a set of three features gained by choosing that specific magical school, and which were acquired at levels 1, 5 and 10. A Mage could also dabble in Evocation by taking the 1st and 5th level Evocation school benefits at levels 4 and 8.

* Evocation Apprentice: When you roll damage for an arcane evocation power, if any of the dice come up with a result of 1, pick one of them, reroll it, and use the new result.
* Evocation Expert: You gain a +2 bonus to Endurance checks and Intimidate checks.
* Evocation Master: When you use an arcane evocation power that deals one or more specific types of damage, you ignore a target’s resistance to any of those types of damage. You do not ignore any immunities the target might have.

Prior to this, an article in [[Dragon Magazine]] #383 had attempted to bring back support for the Evoker on a conceptual level by providing a number of heroic tier spells all revolving around blasting foes with elemental magic; these spells consisted of '''Skewering Spikes''' (level 1 Encounter, launch stone/metal spikes at up to three targets), '''Arcane Whirlwind''' (level 1 Daily, creates a burst of thunder and a zone of whipping winds that can slide enemies about), '''Mystical Debris''' (level 2 at-will Utility, create zones of difficult terrain at will by manipulating patches of earth), '''Cinderfall''' (level 3 Encounter, a fireball style burst of fire damage that automatically deals at least some fire damage to one target), '''Scattering Shock''' (level 5 Daily, yank a group of creatures together and then zap the with lightning), '''Force Ladder''' (level 6 encounter Utility, creates a ladder of pure force that you can scale), '''Corrosive Mist''' (level 7 Encounter, creates an explosion of acid that lingers as a short-lived corrosive mist), and '''Firescythe''' (level 9 Daily, sweep a scythe-blade of fire across an area, cutting down anyone who doesn't drop prone, though your allies can drop prone as a free action before it strikes).
