Specialist Wizards Options

[Galactygon]

Although I haven't made any major decisions in this area, I have thought of giving Specialist Wizards a bit more attention and depth as well as having more specialist opponents (including Irenicus) rather than simple mages. Most of the specialists would naturally specialize in schools that match their character.

The specialist wizards will recieve the following stats:

- At 17th level, immunity hold spells is granted

Here is what I have thought so far about NPC specialists:

Abjurer
- Nalia

Conjurer
- Zallanora (a high-level cowled enforcer official)

Invoker
- Edwin (I am not sure about this, but he does mention himself as someone hurling fireballs)
- Sendai

Necromancer
- Just about any Lich with a few exceptions (they might be conjurers, invokers, or simple mages)
- Lavok
- Irenicus

Some of the above are listed as NPCs that have dual classed, but I will remove the unkitted dual class restrictions from the game (so you can have a Dweomerkeeper of Mystra dualed to an Abjurer) by applying the AddSuperKit() command. At the moment I am unsure how to allow 2 kits to be active with multi-classed characters, but I will hopefully have it figured out when I get there.

That would be even harder to implement than allowing conjurers to pick their monsters.
Otherwise, your idea would be the closest to AD&D.
