-The powers of an Invoker are words of creation which they can speak to change reality with. This kind of mirrors the concept of the Thu'um as seein in [[The Elder Scrolls]]. There is even a [[Paragon Path]] which turns your character into a contemplative kind of person, who rarely speaks because of the great power of their voice. This is in turn mirrored by the Greybeards of The Elder Scrolls. Make sure to play a [[Dragonborn]] Invoker so [[meme|you can be Dragonborn while you're Dragonborn.]] Note that while [[Player's Handbook]] 2 came out before Skyrim did, but given the long development cycle of Skyrim and the long lore that both franchises have it is impossible to say if someone ripped someone else off, or that this is just a coincidence.

[[Crunch]]-wise, they're Divine Controllers who are much sturdier than the [[Wizard]] class, and have better area control overall.
