Conjuration or Evocation specialists only?


Round 2: Words of Power Discussion


A quick breakdown on the number of words per school:

Abjuration: 4
Conjuration: 14
Divination: 2
Enchantment: 5
Evocation: 20
Illusion: 2
Necromancy: 6
Transmutation: 3
Universal: 3

So for the playtest, you can only be a Conjuration or Evocation specialist wizard? While it doesn't specifically state that out of your two bonus words per level, 1 has to be from the school, Can you really be an illusion specialist if there are only two illusion words in the entire game?

(I assume that there will be more words of power than what is listed in the final book.)

Also, if you combine words with one of them being from your specialist school, can you use it in your specialist slot? For example a spell that does both acid (conjuration) + fire (evocation). Can you use the spell in your evocation specialist slot?

You should read the sticky post by jason, he says this is a play-test, not the whole thing, yes there is going to be more in the book.

What Eric said.

This is only a playtest for us to peg some power and point balancing issues. The book version will contain quite a few more words.

Will some more words be released as the playtest progresses?
