The Complete Wizard's Handbook

The Complete Wizard's Handbook is a supplementary rulebook published in 1990 for the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game.

Examples include the Academician, who suffers a penalty to attack rolls because he lacks a killer instinct, but his scholarly reputation earns him positive reaction bonuses when he meets fellows in his field; the Anagokok, a primitive wizard from a frigid or equatorial climate, who suffers penalties when in a hostile environment, but in his home climate he is masterful, capable of finding food and water in even the most desolate lands, and hardy enough to endure the most brutal weather conditions; and other kits such as the Amazon Sorceress and the Witch.

An entire chapter is devoted to a discussion of role-playing and various wizard-character stereotypes, and a "Wizardly Lists" miscellany is included at the end of the book.

[2] He praised the addition of two strong and well developed female roles (the Amazon Sorceress and the Witch), and highlighted the "deliciously obscure and distinctive" Anagokok character.

[2] Conversely, he criticized the role-playing material as for not being written in a way that would be of immediate use for players, and the "Wizardly Lists" miscellany to be a "sign of incomplete and careless development" as the ideas deserved a fuller treatment.
