Cheapy....I am forever impressed at your library of links sir...I hope to learn to eventually save these myself lol...but then again YOU are always available :P
I would like to verify. What is a sub school? Is that like the admixture, or are they like the wood and such?
Admixture.
Awesome thanks
I have a related question that I'm not sure is answered by Cheapy's link:
Is the bonus spell slot granted by ordinary wizard specialization considered a "school power" or is it superseded by the Thassilonian Specialist's two bonus slots (of the same spell)?
Basically, does a 1st level Thassilonian Specialist (Wrath), who has an 18 Intelligence, get four or five 1st level spells per day?
P.S. I apologize if this has already been answered in other threads; I'm pretty new to these forums.
In general, archetypes and other alternate class options (like Thassilonian specialists) modify classes in the specified ways and leave the other class features unchanged. See Advanced Player's Guide:
Alternate Class Features
Most of the options presented on the following pages include a host of alternate class features. When a character selects a class, he must choose to use the standard class features found in the Core Rulebook or those listed in one of the archetypes presented here. Each alternate class feature replaces a specific class feature from its parent class. For example, the elemental fist class feature of the monk of the four winds replaces the stunning fist class feature of the monk. When an archetype includes multiple class features, a character must take all of them—often blocking the character from ever gaining certain familiar class features, but replacing them with equally powerful options. All of the other class features found in the core class and not mentioned among the alternate class features remain unchanged and are acquired normally when the character reaches the appropriate level (unless noted otherwise). A character who takes an alternate class feature does not count as having the class feature that was replaced when meeting any requirements or prerequisites.A character can take more than one archetype and garner additional alternate class features, but none of the alternate class features can replace or alter the same class feature from the core class as another alternate class feature. For example, a paladin could not be both a hospitaler and an undead scourge since they both modify the smite evil class feature and both replace the aura of justice class feature. A paladin could, however, be both an undead scourge and a warrior of the holy light, since none of their new class features replace the same core class feature.
To answer your specific question, a 1st level Thassilonian specialist of Wrath with 18 Int would be able to prepare four 1st-level spells: one as a wizard 1, one from a high Int, and two slots with the same Evocation spell. To gain that extra spell slot at each spell level, the Thassilonian specialist cannot learn or prepare spells from the prohibited schools, at all (a normal specialist can learn spells from opposition schools and prepare them by using two spell slots). Basically, these replace the normal bonus spell slot and opposition schools for a specialist. The Thassilonian specialist still receives the associated school powers and other wizard class abilities as normal; for Wrath (Evocation), the specialist receives Arcane Bond, Intense Spells, Force Missile, Scribe Scroll, bonus feats at 5th/10th/etc., and Elemental Wall at 8th.
A thorough and clear answer to my question
Thanks, this is how I thought it worked, but wanted to be absolutely certain.
