[QUOTE="Gloombunny, post: 3995704, member: 54916"] Consider specializing in divination. An extra divination spell per day isn't as attractive as other schools, but you only have to drop one school in exchange for it. That's correct. Note that you aren't required to prepare more than that one spell per level from your specialized school. Even if you're, say, a conjuration specialist, you can still fill the rest of your slots with illusions or transmutations or whatever. For this reason it's best to specialize in a school that can do lots of different things, so that even with one of your slots restricted you can still adapt your preparation to meet different situations. Conjuration and transmutation are good choices for specialization, if you're not doing the divination thing. (They're also bad schools to take as barred, because you lose out on such a wide variety of spells by barring them.) Don't worry about having a low strength as a wizard. Your crossbow doesn't care how strong you are, and if you're ever in the situation of needing to hit someone in melee then you're probably already screwed. In which case you'll really be wanting those extra hitpoints. [/QUOTE]
