best school for wizards


Advice

Silver Crusade

What do you believe is a good school for a wizard? Prlersonally I like wood/conjuring(Summoning?)/ and air W/ opposition research discovery thing ofc.


Evocation (admixture)

Conjuration (Teleportation)

Divination (Foresight)

Elemental Air and Void

In no particular order.

Conjuration is usually seen as the best school because it does everything. It has good battlefield control spells, spells that target different defenses, spells that bypass SR, and summoning spells, which are among the best in the game. Conjuration even has good blasting spells. Snowball in particular is the best first level blasting spell.


Yeah, Conjuration (Teleportation) is really difficult to beat.
Divination (Foresight) gives you a ton of free rerolls which can be vital as well.

What kind of campaign are you playing in?


Spell wise I'm always loving transmutation, but as far as class abilities it's not so great.


My vote goes to Divination. Let me explain in depth:

You're a wizard, and you go first.

Wizards always get the nicest toys depending on what you want, and a Divination wizard uses them before all the other kids.

Your a wizard harry.


Pfah. Hogwarts has a terrible educational environment and doesn't actually teach any life skills. No language courses, no maths, no ethics.

I demand a wizarding school that covers knowledges other than arcana and a half assed job at history and at least teaches Celestial, the four elemental languages, and Draconic even if they're too squeamish to cover infernal and abyssal. Ignorance is for sorcerers.

Conjuration is considered to be strong if not the strongest due to versatility and ability to bypass SR.

Divination has the potential to break ('cheat') adventures. Knowing is half the battle...

However personally I find Evocation more FUN. :)


Divination is amazing if you are ever making attack rolls (prescience), need to pierce spell resistance, or know a save is coming... so, almost always.

The problem with divination is having to choose a divination spell as one of your two free spells a level. This sucks pretty harsh at low levels.

Low levels also have fairly situational divination spells to put into your school slots.
