What is a divination wizard?
The Diviner is a basic Wizard with a few insanely strong abilities. Divination as a school of magic is all about preparation; you can win any fight if you know what’s in there.

How does the divination Wizard’s portent feature work?
For example, if a halfling has advantage on an ability check and rolls a 1and a 13, the halfling could use the Lucky trait to reroll the 1.

How often can you replace a d20 in Wizards of the Coast?
When you finish a long rest, roll two d20s and record the numbers rolled.

You must choose to do so before the roll, and you can replace a roll in this way only once per turn.
