I was interested to see how many different types of wizard are out there, so I created this poll.
-
I necromancer through and through. Though I have also focused on enchanting and evocation.
-
Bilvikki is an illusionist...useful for a goblin trying to survive in a hostile big city, but he's also a scavenger of spells and will use anything as long as it works (which is probably typical behaviour for a goblin). The only exception to that is necromancy, but not the whole spell school though, he often uses 'Finger of Death' for instance. However he's terrified of undeath so would probably run screaming in fear if he ever called anything up :)
-
Heh heh, come on illusionists!
-
Generalist.
Why sacrifice any school of magic, when you can get scrolls, and learn every spell ever created?
-
generalist, or evocation, causing damage is my main priority as wizard can cause some of the most damage in game.

What about the laundry spell *grins*
-
Heh Bil always wondered why there were so many dessicated corpses lying around his washing line :D
-
Mith, Necromancer with focuse in Enchanting. Mith isent heavy on doing blunt damage(fireball, chain lightning), usually uses spells that focuse more on your will and fort saves. Cripple you first, then use a few spells to finish you off.
-
Storold, protector of the weave in the chapter of protection(Abjurer). Greater spellfocus in abjuration as well, uses almost all his magic to protect himself from harm.
-
So quite an equal balance, apart from diviners, who seem to be rare.
-
Eight_Bit plays or at least has, a Diviner, i dont see her used much anymore, think she is like lvl 19 or so. Also i think Yardislan is a Diviner, though he might just focuse in Divination, not really sure.
So there is at least 1, if not 2.
-
you cannot beat the funky magic sheilds
-
Eight_Bit played an elf named Lluleninque (must be atleast 3 spelling mistakes in this name :)) but I think she was an enchantress. Atleast I know that Maddison was her apprentice and Maddison was an enchantress. Though they did both also use divination...ah...they could have been both.
I am confused....
-
Hmm.. come foward diviners/diviner, and show us you exist!
-
My character started as a necromancer. but is now more of a generalist using what ever magic works best for her.

I can almost guarantee there won't be more than MAYBE one. The NWN Divination spells are... Shall we say, a bit weak?
-
Premonition? That's a favorite of lots of high level wizards. Mind you, it doesn't really compensate for lots of under-powered spells, but it helps.
-
Sure, that's great for a level 15th Wizard, who could easily have a wide variety of other spells to choose from, most of which give better than 1 Turn + 1 Round/level duration and +2 AC, +2 Ref, and 75% Concealment. (Or do damage that, in terms of overall spell power, is still greater.)
An extended Ghostly Visage and a Displacement would be only a little bit less powerful. And an eighth level spell?
Much like Bards, Diviners got the short end of the stick in NWN.
-
Diviners get a cool RP approce though. On quests they can use scrying and such. I wish mith could scry lol.. but no, he dosent get See invis.. True Seeing, or Premition, what does he get.. nothing i know of.. a bad rep! I originally thought to make Mith a Diviner, but the prohibbited school was to much of a hit so i dident go that way.

I know exactly what you mean. On quest when somebody goes: "Look who's there, invisible" then you're the only one with a dumb look on your face cause you can't see a thing :p
-
HAHhah.. omg.. yea. Like on Lia's quest, everyone said there wa a black wizard, and mith wanted to say "where" so bad, but i held it back becouse it would make him look dumb lol. But i have found a loop hole for us. Gnomish Lens, 8k for see invis, Mith used to carry 2 of them but he gave them up for some RP reasions, though i think im going to go get 2... or 4 more! Mmm See invis *purrs*
-
Llu is an Enchantress and Transmutationist. I cast a few Divination spells, but I kept away with it because that was Maddison's thing.
-
And on another note, im suprised tos ee the list so balanced, i alwese figured there were more Generlists then anything else by far.
-
oh hey 8_bit, i thought she was a Diviner *shrugs* oh well.

*laughs* I had the same wish to same word and I always wanted to buy the lens but every time I forgot or something got in the way. Need to get back to that topic soon.

Illusionist! Wheee!
Evil Enchantments Shall Suffer!
-
Yardislan is a generalist, not a diviner. quests just seem to serendipitously put him into that position for positive effect. ;)
-
Sin'Dolin was a generalist who had focus in illusion and greater focus in necromancy.
Malor is a Generalist with focus in Enchantment.
-
I think wizards need to be able to do a bit of every kind of arcane spell.
-
Either an Illutionist or a Conjurer
-
Too many generalists... specialists, where art thou?
-
Hmm, Rhynn has Greater Spell Focus in Illusions. I'm thinking of taking an additional spell focus but can't choose which would make most sense for Rhynn. Originally I would have had her focus in necromancy but she seems to have grown out of that almost completley (in fact, I don't think she has a single necromancy spell prepared.) I was thinking Abjuration, Conjuration, or Divination...
Divination calls me for some reason, but Abjuration does as well..Hmm...that's if I feel like using the feat at all. Typically I'd give her an arcane defence in Enchantment since she could really use it. But I would only take that feat if someone (finally) teaches her in character to ward them off. Hmm...might make for good Rp...
-
Caniel is a specialist in Enchantment.
-
If Tyeaan ever actually takes a Spell Focus feat, it'll be Divination. Why Divination? He's a scholar.
Like most Wizards.
