Orc Abjurer Wizard Build Guide

The gold and time you spend to copy abjuration spells into your spellbook is halved.

When you cast an abjuration spell of 1st level or higher, you can create a magical ward on yourself. The ward has hit points equal to twice your wizard level + your Intelligence modifier. Whenever you take damage, the ward takes the damage instead. If the damage reduces the ward to 0 hit points, you take any remaining damage. When you cast an abjuration spell of 1st level or higher, the ward regains hit points equal to twice the spell's level.

When a creature you can see within 30 feet takes damage, you can use your reaction to cause your Arcane Ward to absorb that damage. If the damage reduces the ward to 0 hit points, the warded creature takes any remaining damage.

When you cast the Counterspell or Dispel Magic spell, you add your proficiency bonus to your ability check if one is required.

You have advantage on saving throws against spells. Furthermore, you have resistance against the damage of spells.

Bonus action Dash with temp HP gives the Wizard both mobility and survivability.

Dropping to 1 HP instead of 0 once per rest is a powerful survival tool for frontline Wizards.
