new sig and a question

Tulle · 03-02-2002, 06:56 PM

err this is kinda embarrassing to ask but whats the benefit of choosing a specialty mage class (like the illusionist,necromancer etc)...i always choose the pure mage kit or the necromancer (for the name)but i would really like to know the difference between them (except for the fact that you lose spells on choosing a specialty and that cant be the only thing) so please, someone, write an answer and preferably some feedback about the new sig (-;

You get one extra spell per level. Thats it I think, theyre may be some save against spells from your school but I forget.

With specialtys (like Necromacy) it deals mostly with death so you have to have 1 or more of that kind of spell per level.

Hope this helps ya!

No, you can make your extra spell per level any spell you've got in that level, the specialty really has nothing to do with what school you choose, it's what school is the opposite - you get no bonus (eg more power, extra spells etc) from your specialty school, but you don't get any spells from the opposing school.

Put Simply:
Advantage: You get 1 extra spell slot to memorize in for each spell level.
Disadvantage: You cannot scribe spells from the opposite school of you speciality (e.g. if your a conjurer you cant scribe divination scrolls like identify)

to make it clearer,
you CAN cast spells of opposite school, you simply cant scribe them in your spell book

No, you can't. You can not cast them, not from scroll, not from the book.
