ILLUSIONISTS EXPERIENCE

ILLUSIONIST COMBAT AND SAVES:

Illusionists use the same attack tables and saving throws as magic-users, and do not gain combat options or maneuvers except those available to all classes.

 

ILLUSIONIST RESTRICTIONS: Illusionists have a narrower range of spells than magic-users (although they have a slightly larger number per day they can cast, see bonus spells--above).  The other restrictions that the Illusionists have are related to magic item use and construction.  Illusionists may make scrolls and foci using the same rules as other casters.  However, they may only use wands and miscellaneous items useable by all classes, or ones limited to magic-users that specifically deal with illusions, invisibility, light, darkness and phantasms.  Illusionists may not make potions or poisons.  They may only create permanent items that they themselves can use.
