![]() ![]() I've always thought of abjurers to be quite weak, but my order of power would be.Ībjuration is really good in the end, though highly specialized. Divination and Illusion are extremely variable - in the right hands and at the right table, each one is a game-changer. Necromancy is potentially powerful but narrow in focus, Abjuration has a lot of obligatory spells like Dispel Magic but is not generally very powerful. This accounts for power and general utility - Enchantment effects can be powerful, but they rarely do anything other than target a Will save, Evocation rarely does anything but cause damage (though Contigency gives it a boost up from dead last). ![]() The general ranking of schools is as follows: Pathfinder just made it worse by accelerating the level at which you can summon beastly creatures and giving them shinier class abilities (seriously, did they really think the conjurer needed it?). Not technically available to wizard, but even so, another example of Conjuration doing everything.ĭisable/Debuff - Grease, Glitterdust, Stinking Cloud - the three best spells of their level for trivializing encounters. There are few problems Minor Creation can't at least partly solve. Need to go somewhere? Conjuration.Ĭreate. Need a fighter or a rogue? No, you don't. No other school gets the same combination of versatility and power (though transmutation is a close second). Air gets Su 24/7 flight at level 10 Wood apparently gets Sirocco as a 4th level spell instead of 6th level.Ĭonjuration reins supreme, and likely always will. Some of the elemental specialties can be good for specific boons. Still, divination is a really bad class of spells, and if you're *not* doing this specialty, you should be prohibiting divination (yes, you can do that in PF).Ĥ) Admixture (Evocation) - If you must blast, this plus Dazing Spell and Persistent Spell feats/rods is actually sort of decent.Īfter that.nothing I've noticed that stands out. summoned monster! And conjuration spells rock!Ģ) Transmutation - Uh.the augmentation subschool, I guess? Transmutation school powers are pretty bad this is 2nd solely because trans spells rock and the spectacles of annihilation (spontaneously swap any prepared trans spell for any other trans spell you know of same or lower level, as much as you want!) only function for transmuters.ģ) Foresight (Divination) - Roll a d20 in advance and use it later on when you need it. The spellbook progression is shown below for comparison purposes.If it's PF only, I'd choose specialties in this order:ġ) Teleportation (Conjuror) - PF's version of Abrupt Jaunt! And you still get the level 20 perm. They unlock even the 1st level spells fairly late (at level 4) and their caster level = their character level - 3. Paladin or Ranger (also Bloodrager in Pathfinder WotR). Warrior casters (full-BAB physical classes with minor casting abilities: up to lvl 4 spells): e.g.Their spellbook progression is the same regardless of whether they cast spells spontaneously or have to prepare them. Bard, Alchemist, Inquisitor, Magus, Eldritch Scoundrel (also Hunter, Skald and Warpriest in Pathfinder WotR). Half-casters (can cast up to lvl 6 spells): e.g. ![]() Sorcerer (also Oracle and Arcanist in Pathfinder WotR): their spellbook progression is delayed by 1 level. Full spontaneous casters (can cast up to lvl 9 spells spontaneously): e.g.Wizard, Druid, Cleric (also Shaman and Witch in Pathfinder WotR) - they're usually the first to gain access to the next-level spells. Full casters with spell preparation (can cast up to lvl 9 spells but have to prepare them): e.g.See Spellcasting for an overview of how to use spells.ĭifferent spellcaster classes unlock new levels of spells at different character levels but in terms of spellbook progression most of them can be grouped into several categories: Most spells deal damage or inflict a condition on the target. Spells are manifestations of magic in Pathfinder: Kingmaker, not necessarily of the offensive type. ![]()
