Anyone have a mod that fixes wizards?

[Dreaguh]

Having trouble finding one, thought I'd ask the people. Any information is appreciated.

Um...What do you need "fixed", exactly? How are wizards broken?..

[BionicDance]

I think a doctor can fix them; just a little snip-snip will do it.

Spells are meh at best, can't hit 20 due to limit, unable to read many scrolls or the scrolls have been removed. Etc, feels like they got nerfed from DND

They're seriously buffed over tabletop, like BG3 wizards can change their prepared spells on a whim. Just about everybody's buifed vs. tabletop (off-hand, the one major nerf I recall is that BG3 gloomstalkers actually need to spend a bonus action to become invisible, instead of it being automatic).

If you're looking for a Wizard: Gale is trapped in an unstable portal near the crashed Nautiloid at the beginning. You can also free Withers to get a hireling Wizard or respec your character or any of your other companions INTO a Wizard.

Also, I don't know why you'd think spells are weak? They do a plethora of different things and, as a wizard, the abundance of spell scrolls would mean you'll have money issues rather then scroll issues.

Overall, Wizards got some big buffs from coming to BG3 from D&D5e.
Learning spells don't require downtime.
There's some powerful, exclusive spells you can learn later in the game.
You can learn like 95% of spells from scrolls barring stuff like Aid.
If you don't care about your character race, going Human, Half-Elf, or Gith can give you defensive tools that you wouldn't otherwise have.

Which spells in particular do you want that you don't have?

1. Which spells? Because most of the good staples are in the game, and several like Chromatic Orb have been objectively buffed.
2. Wizards have never needed level 20 to start being ridiculous. In fact, I'd say they start getting ridiculous by ~level 3 or 4 because that's when you start finding items that buff your spells. Spellsparkler alone is kinda nuts and is good through the end of the game.
3. You can read every scroll in the game regardless of your level, and there are certain spells that only wizards can learn through scribing a scroll.

You can cast up to five levelled spells in a single turn, defying the important tabletop "only one levelled spell per turn" balance rule, a bottle of water can make anyone vulnerable to your lightning spells without requiring a roll, and you can Long Rest as often as you want. Moreover, there are beneficial magic items everywhere, and Illithid abilities grant completely broken synergies.

Perhaps you're just bad at the game, or your tabletop DM goes incredibly easy on you. Casters in BG3 are completely brokenly OP.

Are you used to an older version of D&D? Everyone got nerfed and dumbed down in 5th, wizards are fine in the new ruleset but weak vs their older versions in some ways. They lost a lot of spells (as did many classes) and gained a lot of ways to use armor and weapons without spell failure and such. They also gained cantrips that actually damage things, which old version lacked. Its therefore much stronger at very low levels (1-4) and not as strong as you gain (8+)

You can rest, then rest, and stop think Wizards are weak.
