Gale’s incredibly strange stat setup makes those the place we’ll start. We’d much rather prefer the durability or utility upgrades found in other archetypes for the Wizard of Waterdeep. Even for a blaster Gale, we don’t think Evocation is worth investing in. And dealing half damage on a cantrip is fine, but not really worth the investment. Sculpt Spells only matter in very specific situations, when your party member is stuck behind enemy lines. The reason we don’t choose the default Evocation subclass, despite its ability to save a lot of money, is that you aren’t really getting much utility out of it. Make sure to get him a Shield so he can make use of that Civil Militia trait. It’ll also give Gale a small pool of health, which works well with his lackluster defenses early on. Abjuration is great for saving money since several Abjuration spells are found scattered throughout the early and midgame. Divination is a great subclass, but not if you want Gale to have a wide board of magic spells with low cost.

Gale doesn’t have great Medicine, making Transmutation a chore for him.

Here are a few of our tips to make your Gale as strong as possible.Ĭhoose the Abjuration Subclass.
