DC bonuses for Specializing in a magic school


Rules Questions


Like the title says do you get any bonuses to the saving throw DC to the spells you cast when you cast from your specialized school as a wizard? I think I remember something like that from 3.x but couldn't find that in Pathfinder.


You get a bonus spell slot for your specialized school, but I think you have to take Spell Focus to get a bonus to the save DC.

What you're remembering is from pre-3e. Before 3.X, specialist wizards got +1 to the DC of their spells. Evokers were scary. That was removed with 3.X. Instead, you get a bonus spell slot to prepare one of your specialist spells.

In 3.X and PRPG, a 5th level evoker, for example, has access to 3rd level spells. She could prepare burning hands, scorching ray, and fireball in addition to her normal allotment of spells.
