If I have a specialist Wizard who takes the Arcane Discovery: Opposition Research, does the school of magic I choose still count as an opposition school for things that check for such, even though there are no longer any penalties?
For example:
Random Hypothetical Feat/Feature - Benefits: Choose a spell: Blah blah blah (The chosen spell may not be from an opposition school.)
Unfortunately, yes. Only the things spelled out in the Opposition Research ability are allowed. Namely: double spell slots and -4 spellcraft penalty on crafting.
That does not stop you or your GM from making houserules to fix what some might consider an oversight.
