[QUOTE="Treantmonklvl20, post: 5634633, member: 55582"] Even in 3.5 it wasn't nearly as bad as it sounds. I did this analysis a few years ago: [url=http://community.wizards.com/go/thread/view/75882/19864630/Focused_Specialist_is_better_than_you_think]Whoops! Browser Settings Incompatible[/url] Logicninja posted an objection in the responses pointing out how (in the example of a 9th level wizard) a FS would not be able to memorize a variety of spells he listed, and that was unacceptable. I pointed out the Generalist did not have enough memorization slots for all those spells, but then gave alternates that would perform a similar function from Conjuration for every spell he listed. For your example, if I remember correctly we replaced contingency with greater shadow evocation (mimicking contingency). Though I agree, in Pathfinder you just cast contingency. Also note that if you don't want to use up extra memorization slots (and naturally you don't), then consider scrolls, staves or wands, as there is no penalty for using these items to cast from your opposition school.
