Weapon Specialization and spells

[Storyteller01]

The hypothetical character is a fighter/wizard.

Gotcha! Hard to keep up with the classes available.

It doesn't work with Magic Missile.

Magic Missile is not a ray spell and, more generally speaking, it is not an attack. Accordingly, nothing that grants a bonus to attacks affects it.

Oh, I thought I had read on this thread that they were also talking about magic missle?

Wouldn't you have to take levels in Fighter to be eligible for WS? I know... their spell casters, they should be allowed.

There are actually caster-level based feats like Ranged Spell Specialization in Complete Arcane.

 

[Li Shenron]

There was also Spell Specialization in Tome & Blood, which worked like WS but on Rays OR Energy Missiles, and required 4 spellcasting levels (perhaps arcane) IIRC.
