Jem,
When I analyzed the spellbooks, I looked at what realms each school had, in an effort to maximize the value of having one character studying two realms. Basically, I wanted my bishop to pick two schools that had good spells in the same schools. Mage and Alchemy both have very weak mental and divine spells, so I made my bishop Wiz/Alc - and in this case, would make the other Bishop Psi/Div.
Does that seem reasonable? What justifications do others give for their breaking down the schools?
What do you think about only having one bishop, two utility and three fighter types? I was thinking that if you have a bishop in Div/Alc, then you could have a Samurai for Wizardry and a Monk for Psionics.
For the utility, you could have a Bard and a Ranger, and for your front line, add a fighter to the Samurai and the Monk?
Or do you need two dedicated spellcasters?
