Does anyone have any information about how to play a wild mage in a 3rd edition campaign? I can't seem to find any official information about 3rd edition wild mages anywhere.

| Well I've never played 2nd edition DnD, thats the rules that BG I and II use, but I'm more than positive that they had a wild mage. I just haven't seen anything about them in 3rd edition. |

| I have yet to run across any 3.0/3.5 books that have stats for Wild Mages as a class. Definitely nothing in any Realms product covers them. There might be a 3rd party product that has something on wild magic. |

| After a quick search I found something. Mongoose Publishing has an Encyclopaedia Arcane called Chaos Magic that ssems to be as close to a wild mage as your going to get in current editions. Mongooses Encyclopaedia are usually excellent supplements. |

Yeah, but it lost a lot of the flavor of the original (even though I only know it through the Baldur's Gate series). |

One of the previous writers for Wizards made a prestige class for
wild mages. Ill try and scare up my source.

I think SKR did a better job of capturing the 2E feel than the official 3E version did. I was very excited when Rich Baker commented to me that he was working on a 3E version (pretty sure it was him; it was years back), and then so disappointed when I actually saw it...
The wild mage remains one of my fave 2E classes. I played one for a little bit, and had much much fun with him. |

| I'm also sure that someone (or multiple someones) worked on an expanded table (based on a d1000 rather than a d100) that was included in a netbook in the nineties. I'm sure, because I have the table in my compilation files, and still use it, but I cannot remember the exact source anymore. |
