Wizard
A downloadable BitD playbook
Wizard playbook for Blades in the Dark, by John Harper.
The Universe has revealed its ways to your mind. The forces that shape it are now at your beck and call. But beware, these forces will demand their own sacrifices in return. What sacrifices have you made in order to bend magic to your will? What unforeseen consequences have put your loved ones in danger? What hidden knowledge drives you to further delve into the mysteries of the 'verse?
This playbook uses the Magnitude charts from the book in order to set the cost of a spell. The Wizard has to accumulate a new resource, Flow, in order to bring forth these effects. To do so they must expose themselves to risk and danger. The goal of this class is to allow easy import and appraisal of the spells from the OGL 3.5 SRD, measuring them using the Magnitude charts.
This is a revamped version of my Wizard playbook.
NOTE. Current version is based on export from Notion.so workspace. I plan on redoing the layout in dedicated software.

The is really cool, but I have a question. Max flow is tier + attune + playbook. I know what tier and attune are, but what number is "playbook?"
Thanks.
Hey!
Thanks bunch for the interest.
“Playbook” is your playbook level (you can count this by the nr of Special Abilities you have picked)
Ah, that makes sense. AFAIK that's not a standard concept in Blades, and I don't see where it's explained in your documentation. I would suggest perhaps explaining more clearly.
Thanks again!
Oh thanks for pointing that out! Not sure why I assumed this was explained in the book. Will try to address this.
