It's in Nimro, IIRC... maybe Baalgor, but pretty sure Nimro.

Greetings and Salutations. Just as confirmation ... it's PF Book 10: Mount Nimro, starting page 42. Have a nice day. Farewell and safe journeys for now.

The Revision castrated the OCC. That is my opinion on the matter.

Playing a lifeforce wizard seems cool. However, they have very limited selection of spells and abilities and the class seems very one dimensional. I personally found it extremely boring class to play after a while. Even though I had an 8th level Gromek Lifeforce wizard that was a holy terror in combat.

I personally would like to see more detail in future books and non-combat abilities/spells added to this magic class.

Mods

The Life Force Wizard can absorb life energy (H.P.) of all living creatures. Things that cannot be drained are, Vampires, Undead, Dead, Mummies, Zombies, Skeletons, UnLiving things like Constructs, Golems, Etc….

If touching the target in any way, shape or form, The Life Force Wizard can drain any one opponent of all it’s Hit Points in an instant sending the target into a coma. Unless treated, the victim will die in 2d6 minutes in what seems to be natural causes. Regular Restrictions apply.

The P.P.E. drains away at the rate of one point per Hour.
Life Force Wizards are not limited to Wizard spell magic and can learn others including, Wards, Summoning Circles, Necro-Magic, or any other form of arcana as a Life Force Wizard as long as they have the necessary skills to do so.

I'd be more inclined, if I were to do something like this, to make "Life Force" be a modifier that you can apply to any magic OCC... so you would have a "Life Force Wizard" and a "Life Force Diabolist", but a Life Force Wizard couldn't flat-out learn diabolism in addition to his wizardly skills without switching OCCs.

Notice the way I said "if they had the necessary skills". This usually means that that they Must be a Diabolist or Summoner Before becoming a life force wizard. The only way to get the necessary skills is from formal training. The formal training will not normally be available after becoming a life force wizard.
