I disagree a bit with you on the Enchanter my dear SixofSpades.

Sure the invocation school is powerful, but it is not essential in the same way as the abjuration school is.

There are plenty of damage spells outside the invocation group and many of them are very good (do we need to mention ADHW). Really the only place where the enchanter gets really shafted spell-wise is in the level 1 spells department where they miss out both Magic Missile and Chromatic Orb. Sure Larloch's Minor Drain can restore your hit points, but that spell sucks!

Actually the worst thing about giving up invocation is not losing a damage spell, but rather a summon. I mean, it really hurts not being able to cast Mordenkainen's Sword.


But then again, I think it says something that there is not a single enchantment/charm spell among the top three spell levels.
