At second level, for instance, they gain Minor Illusion as a cantrip for all of their minor illusion needs. They are treated like any other Arcane Tradition within the game, and as such get special abilities at certain points. In the most recent edition of Dungeons and Dragons illusionists are different. The School of Illusion and the Innate Abilities of Illusionists in D&D Today, I thought we would talk about illusions and how they are really freaking twisted in the world of D&D. It takes a certain type of character to be an Illusionist. They are, without a shadow of a doubt, sort of evil. Instead, in 5E (Fifth Edition, Version 5, whatever you want to call it), there is one simple truth about those who specialise in the School of Illusion. Where this makes a lot more sense, and allows for the class to be refined, it also lets go of the traditional notion that illusionists are tricksters or happy gnome folk who make things sparkle. It is no longer a primary class like it was in the days of yore, but instead it has become an Arcane Tradition and school of magic for Wizards to specialise in. We may also have a load of different options for each class in the form of Arcane Traditions however, in the new rules Illusionist has been relegated. Yes, we may have Sorcerers and Warlocks, neither of which are in AD&D. In old school Advanced Dungeons and Dragons there was one class which isn’t in the Dungeons and Dragons fifth edition like there is today.
