Class Features - War Magic Wizard

Arcane Deflection

When you are hit by an attack or you fail a saving throw, you can use your reaction to gain a +2 bonus to your AC against that attack or a +4 bonus to that saving throw.

When you use this feature, you can’t cast spells other than cantrips until the end of your next turn.

Tactical Wit

You can add your INT mod (+5) to your initiative rolls.

Power Surge

You can store magical energy within yourself to later empower your damaging spells.

Store a maximum number of power surges equal to your INT mod (+5). Whenever you finish a long rest, your number of power surges resets to one. Whenever you successfully end a spell with Dispel Magic or Counterspell, you gain one power surge, as you steal magic from the spell you foiled. If you end a short rest with no power surges, you gain one power surge.

Once per turn when you deal damage to a creature or object with a wizard spell, you can spend one power surge to deal extra force damage to that target. The extra damage equals half your wizard level.

Durable Magic

While you maintain Concentration on a spell, you have a +2 bonus to AC and all saving throws.
