I read your FAQ section and I noticed once again you point out High Sorcery mages don’t have to specialize but they loose Enhance Specialization. So my question then is this negates the Prerequisite that you have to be a specialist? I didn’t mind giving up two schools of magic since this is in the spirit of classic Dragonlance, I just didn't like being force to giving up a third.
#2 brimstone Aug 25, 2003 15:36:16	I know I'm not Trampas, but... I would think one could probably be a Specialist Wizard (like you are saying) but then wouldn't have to take the Extra Specialization...and therefore not have to choose one more forbidden school. I think that would work with the "Generalist Wizard of High Sorcery" rule.
#3 shugi Aug 25, 2003 15:38:01	I'm not Trampas, but I might as well respond. You are correct - the "generalist" option in AoM means that a normal wizard can become a Wizard of High Sorcery. In fact, Dalamar is written up in this fashion. The "generalist" would get none of the benefits (nor hindrances) associated with specialization. Edit: Brim & I think alike. :D

#5 shugi Aug 25, 2003 15:44:55	I think RPGs themselves are about options, but that's a whole 'nother discussion. Suffice to say, I'm very tempted to use the "generalist" rule, but I'm currently enforcing specialization for the WoHS. It makes DL magic a bit more unique, IMHO. Of course, we can all do what makes us happy. :D

It seems logical that if one were to become a "Generalist Wizard of High Sorcery" that the specialization requirement of the WoHS prestige class is waived (and you don't gain the benefit/detriment of the enhanced specialization class feature). What of the other requirements for the WoHS prestige class? Do you still have to take the spell focus feat?
#9 Dragonhelm Aug 26, 2003 9:25:36	All other requirements remain, including spell focus.
#10 zombiegleemax Aug 27, 2003 16:15:50	Just to be "traels", danish word for being irritating in a certain way. IF you are a specialist wizard, You DON't have to take the enhanced specialization??? Like the fighter is not required to take his bonus feats.
#11 shugi Aug 27, 2003 17:34:03	If you are a specialist wizard and you join the WoHS, then you must take the Enhanced Specialization ability. Likewise, you must drop an additional school of magic. Of course, you could make these optional as a "house rule".
