REBALANCED WIZARD SLAYER
(Design by SixOfSpades, Dundee Slaytern, & Alson)

ADVANTAGES:

2% Magic Resistance per level
1% Magic Damage Resistance per level
Able to use the Thieving skill of Detect Illusions: 2% per level, plus a modifier based on the WS's INT score
5% chance of causing Spell Failure on each ranged or melee hit (cumulative), with an additional 5% every 10 levels (10% at 10, 15% at 20, 20% at 30, 25% at 40, 30% at 50)
Able to cast Anti-Magic Zone once per day at Level 14, with 1 more at every 10 levels thereafter
At Level 5, -1 bonuses to Save vs. Spells and Save vs. Wands, with an additional -1 bonus every 10 levels thereafter

DISADVANTAGES:

Cannot exceed Mastery (***) in any weapon
Gains 1 weapon proficiency point per 4 levels, instead of 1 per 3 levels
+1 THAC0 penalty at Levels 9, 13, 15, and 21
Cannot use magical Amulets, Cloaks, Gauntlets, Rings, Belts, or Boots, UNLESS those particular items are Anti-Spellcaster in nature
Cannot use ANY magical items that cast spells, UNLESS those spells are Anti-Spellcaster in nature

================================================== =====================

The list of items that we want to open up to Wizard Slayers:
Belt of Inertial Barrier
Cloak of Balduran
Cloak of Mirroring
Rod of Absorbtion
Horn of Silence
Amulet of 5% Magic Resistance
Amulet of Spell Warding
Kaligun's Amulet of Magic Resistance
Black Spider Figurine (Kitthix)
Potion of Invulnerability
Potion of Magic Blocking
Potion of Magic Protection
Potion of Magic Shielding
Ring of Spell Turning
Wand of Spell Striking
Horn of Blasting
Potion of Regeneration
Horn of Kazgaroth
Glasses of Identification?
Claw of Kazgaroth
Cloak of Displacement
Book of Infinite Spells (Spell Turning)
Book of Infinite Spells (True Seeing)
Brine Potion
Potion of Clarity
Potion of Freedom
Potion of Stone Form
Ring of Free Action
Ring of Gaxx
Carsomyr* (Must be Lawful Good to use)
Purifier* (Ditto)
Red/Green/Blue/Purple Globes?
Horns of Valhalla

The list of items that we want to CLOSE OFF to Wizard Slayers:
White Dragon Scale
Vhailor's Helm
Helm of Brilliance
Drow Piwafwi Cloak
There may be more, of course. For instance, it may be decided that Ilbratha should be forbidden, since it provides defense in combat; I just happen to believe it's more useful against spellcasters (deflects Fireballs, and things like that).
