[QUOTE="StreamOfTheSky, post: 5634411, member: 35909"] I always preferred generalists, because while you don't need to know every spell in the game, or anything close to it, EVERY school (yes, even evocation) has at least a handful of spells that are painful to give up forever. But in Pathfinder, the school benefits are so much better than universalist, the extra spell slots are as huge a boon as they've always been, and the prohibited schools is [b]barely even a downside now[/b]. You can pay two spell slots to cast from an opposition school! This is a really bad expenditure in combat or during an adventuring day to rely on more than in the most isolated of incidents. But for utility/downtime use? It's completely insignificant. So now I CAN prohibit evocation and yet still taste the sweet, sweet fruit of Contingency on an off-day, for example. So, I really can't justify ever being a Universalist in PF. It just seems like a really crappy deal. [/QUOTE]
