			==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]].

	Ironically, around the time of 3rd edition, Evokers began to be looked down upon as being "too [[weeaboo]]", with far greater love being directed at the "utility wizard" who focused on assorted spells that weren't combat focused, but let them do anything. Partially this was due to to the new mechanics for that edition; "Save or Suck" spells, which tended to cripple or outright destroy a foe immediately if they failed their save, were simply considered more resource efficient than painstakingly whittling down enemy hitpoints.

	'''Evokers''' are... well, really, what's to say? They blow shit up better than any other wizard. They start off with Sculpt Spells at level 2, letting them make safe pockets in their evocation spells to avoid blowing up their allies or non-coms who get in the way. Or, well, at least ensure they only get singed instead of fried. At level 6, Potent Cantrip means that even Evocation cantrips get to do half damage against critters that make their saving throws against them. The humble Empowered Evocation, a 10th level feature, lets an Evoker add their Intelligence modifier to the damage rolls of any Evocation wizard spells they cast. Finally, at level 14, they gain the Overchannel ability. What's that do? Once per long rest, they can cast an evocation spell of level 5 or lower and automatically do max damage. Once they've done so, if ~~theydo~~ it again without resting, they take 2D12 necrotic damage PER level of the spell they're casting like this. And if they're dumb enough to keep casting overchanneled spells? They keep taking necrotic damage, only the damage goes up by another 1D12 per time (so their third overchannelled spell is 3D12 damage per level of the spell, their fourth is 4D12, etc). RAW, you could originally overchannel your cantrips all day long with no ill effect (2d12 * 0 = 0), but this was later errataed so that you couldn't overchannel cantrips any more.
