D&D 3E/3.5 Incantatrix 3.0 vs 3.5 prohibited school question

[Binho]

As a sorcerer, it is entirely possible there will be one school of magic you just don't have any use for.

You are right. But that's not my point. A sorcerer can pick his spells from any school if he wants. With this, he is just not allowed to.

As a wizard, it is entirely possible there will be one school of magic you just don't have any slot for. So they give up the school they won't use and gain benefits. The sorcerer don't have the benefits, but still has to choose a prohibited school since the beginning.

Of course, this will not ruin the sorcerer build of any one, but it still limit it. Limit without some tradeoff.

Just pointing that once again, no love for the poor sorcerer. Anyone knows why WotC hates so much sorcerers and monks? (they would be very pissed with monk/sorcerers )

Communication fail... My intend was to say that there is no errata for this part.

@Sekhmet , correct me if i'm wrong, but would your sorcerer be like a specialized wizard with NO benefits since the beginning? He must endure 6 levels limiting his spell schools. That certainly make the sorcerer worse, at least when comes to versatility point of view.

Think about what a specialist wizard gets for his denied schools.

A specialist wizard gains 1 additional spell per level [per day] (that must be from his chosen school), a bonus feat every four levels, and +2 to spellcraft to learn spells of their chosen school.
A sorcerer gains two additional spells per level [per day] (of any school), and no bonus to Spellcraft.

Yes, a sorcerer must have a good idea of what he plans to do in his career, and a wizard can rely on "winging it" as far as spells known goes.
The Wizard is, as it stands, much better at versatility, where a Sorcerer is better at any individual career option.
