Red Wizard is a human mage class who are members of the Red Wizards of Thay and assigned to the Order of the Eight Staves to hunt, capture and study Wild Mages. The Red Wizard Enclave in the Athkatla Waukeen's Promenade is their base of operations in the Amn area. Their leader is a Red Wizard named Lanneth.

Gameplay

The wizards all have assigned kits, such as Abjurer, Invoker, Illusionist and Transmuter. They are proficient with Staff, Dagger and or Dart, and mostly wear no armor. The enclave has a total of eight different types of Red Wizards, with slight variations in their memorized spells. There is a total of eight different Red Wizard creature varieties used in the enclave and a few other encounters in Neera's Shadows of Amn questline. Although similar, they are not identical and use level 1 through 5 spells.

When wounded, the wizards quaff their potions of extra healing, if they have them, to continue the fight.

Mod content

This section is about unofficial content that is only available via fan-made mods.

Mods:

Installation of the Sword Coast Stratagems Mod makes some changes to the Red Wizards, and even more changes if the "Smarter Mages" component is installed. These changes include shifting the assigned kits around (no illusionists), an SCS AI mage script, different spells depending on their assigned kit and a ready to deploy Minor Sequencer.

If the Spell Revisions Mod is installed (with or without SCS), then the memorized Red Wizard spells will be changed to the SR versions.

Red Wizard - "I could look into it for you. For YOU, I mean. No one else. You wouldn't even have to do anything for me. Not much, anyway. Nothing you wouldn't enjoy, I assure you."

Red Wizard - "I should be pursuing my research, not chaperoning these insipid mercenaries..."

Red Wizard - "Now this is a fight, don't you think?"

Red Wizard (Female) - "Experienced gladiators WOULD make the best bodyguards, but they can't be trusted—especially Ghallus here. It's a pity, really... Oh, look! The mercenary's done for. You should have been honest and told him you'd give him a big sack for his body."
