Wizards and Rogues of the Realms is an accessory for the 2nd edition of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game, published in 1995.
Shannon Appelcline commented that among other changes to the Forgotten Realms publications in the 1990s, there were "a number of more player-oriented books — doubtless intended to sell like the PHBR volumes.
[1] He criticized that adjustments to character mechanics were "generally no more than tweaks, and as such are a little uninspiring", with a few exceptions including "wizards that cast offensive spells at two levels beyond their ability, and wizards that gain intelligence-determined spell bonuses in the way that clerics gain wisdom bonuses".
[1] Ramshaw concluded the review: "The book suggests that players should choose kits for their roleplaying potential rather than for any extra power they may yield.
Better yet, players could instead consult the Skills & Powers tome and customise the backgrounds, personalities and abilities of their characters as they see fit.
