Most wizards are devoted to their art. The unorthodox wizard realizes that the laws of wizardry are not the laws of the universe, and strive to combine wizardry with other activities and studies. Intelligent and driven, many unorthodox wizards advance fair in their other career. As they grow in power this often becomes a high-responsibility and orderly task such as chancellor or auditor. But at heart, the unorthodox wizard remains open-minded and curious, always ready to learn.

Class Abilities

The unorthodox wizard has all the standard wizard's class abilities except as noted below.

Analyze Device (Ex)

The unorthodox wizard applies his mind to the study of all kinds of devices, including magic items. He can use Intelligence as the attribute modifier of the Disable Device and Use Magic Device skills. This replaces Scribe Scroll.

Hedge Magic

A unorthodox wizard is less orthodox than a regular wizard, and is able to learn spells unusual to his class. At second level and every two levels after, the unorthodox wizard can add one spell from the witch spell list to his spell list and spellbook at its witch spell level. This replaces bonus feats. This spell must be of a spell level strictly less than the unorthodox wizard's class level when the ability is gained. Hedge magic replaces bonus feats.
