[QUOTE="Lactantius, post: 5945072, member: 6694921"] IMHO, a focused diviner owns a focused conjurer. Conjurers get too much flattered by the community. Combine a focused diviner with some sort of spontaeneity and you count virtually as "prepared 3 divination spells per level" without the need to actually prepare divinations (and so, keep up flexibility). the tools of trade are: - Spontaenous Divination: all slots, even the prepared non-divination ones count as divination spell slot since you can make them so on-the-fly. - open slots which get refilled within 15 minutes (wizard class feature) or 1 full round (uncanny forethought, spellpool). Honestly, I find focused conjurers very, very boring. The whole idea behind them is to memorize all the same conjuration spells day-by-day. Going this route, you cut off the wizards main strength: filling the spell slots with many different spells. Focusing on conjuration sounds versatile since the spell school is very broad. Depending on the gamestyle, this can be true, but it also can be a lackluster. I find it boring memorizing a dozen battlefield controls or organizing my summoned minions. Plus, I wonder who memorizes spells like fabricate or major creation on a daily-based routine. This requires ALOT of creativity. But as said, this statement depends on the game style. I really, really prefer the magic philosophy of foreseeing, planning , disabling and undoing. Therefore, abjuration and divination are my favorite schools and so, they get a bonus on my daily spell preparation. [/QUOTE]
