Special Equipment. The abjurer has an arcane grimoire (+1), included in it's statistics.

Arcane Ward. The abjurer has a magical ward that has 24 Hit Points. Whenever the abjurer takes damage, the ward takes the damage instead. If the ward is reduced to 0 Hit Points, the abjurer takes any remaining damage. When the abjurer casts an abjuration spell of 1st level or higher, the ward regains a number of Hit Points equal to twice the level of the spell.

Arcane Recovery (1/day). After finishing a short rest, the abjurer chooses expended spell slots to recover, which can have a combined level that is equal to or less than half it's wizard level rounded up, plus one due to it's arcane grimoire (6), and none of the slots can be 6th level or higher.

Improved Abjuration. When the abjurer casts an abjuration spell that requires it to make an ability check as a part of casting that spell (as in Counterspell and Dispel Magic), it adds it's proficiency bonus (+3) to that ability check.
