So my character is in the process of being stabbed in the back so I might need a new one. Thinking of using this old subclass I made for the Something Borrowed (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?585284-D-amp-D-Subclass-Contest-VIII-Something-Borrowed&p=23831912&viewfull=1) contest. Figured it could use a bit more of a look sense there was a lot going on over there.
Forbidden Knowledge
(wizard of a bit of GOO Warlock spice)
"The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown."
Some seek to understand...
Many believe that knowledge is the ultimate goal in life. They spend part their lives in libraries and schools learning everything they can. But some delve to deep and seal themselves up in ancient ruins and endanger themselves searching for forgotten knowledge. Those who follow Forbidden Knowledge often consider themselves protectors and sharers of such knowledge, but not all are so keen to share what they have strived for years to discover.
Boons of Knowledge

You may switch any amount of invocations each time you gain a feature in this class (6th, 10th, 14th). In addition, you may use your wizard level for the purpose of meeting prerequisites.
