Specialist Wizards

Wizards that choose to specialize in one of the eight major schools of magic are called Specialist wizards. Specialist wizards receive one additional spell per spell level than unspecialized wizards (with the exception of Divination spells less that 4th level, which can be used bay any specialist wizard). Specialist wizards are unable to cast spells from the opposing school. To cast a spell, a Specialist wizard must have an Intelligence equal or greater than the spells level plus 10. Intelligence is the casting statistic for a Specialist wizard. It affects their maximum spellcasting level, spells saving throw DCs and number of bonus spells. Dexterity and Constitution are also important to the Specialist wizard. The Specialist wizard spell casting progression can be found here.

Hit Points per level: 1-4
