Make the most of your specialized school

[weckar]

What feats/class abilities exist that specifically interact with the wizard's specialized school?

I frankly only know about the Theurgic Specialist and Metamagic School Focus feats, but those hardly seem good unless you want to use a boatload of cheese...

Complete Mage has a few feats like "Toughening Transmutation" that require either Spell Focus in a specific school or to be a specialist. Similar requirements to Metamagic School Focus. Every school has at least one.

Theurgic Specialist is very 'dialable' in terms of how good it is. Anywhere from +1 to +16 caster level are possible via the use or not of practiced spellcaster and the amount of theurging done.

There is also the 'Tatoo Focus' feat which is pretty marginal unless you are going Red Wizard.

This doesn't actually count but,

But I like to limit reserve feats to wizards that specialize in that thing. It makes them a bit more special. This is not required by the rules and is just opinion/flavor.

Mind bender gives up to +4 enchanting caster level, but at 5/10 progression I can't say it actually has merit. It doesn't even apply to its own abilities, if you don't don't use PHB RAW that is.

Mindbender does not directly interact with your specialty school, though

Master Specialist is a PrC focused on school specialization.

Sorcerer/hexblade/wizard has an ACF that focuses on schools called School Mastery.

Wizard has the variant class "High Specialist."

Wizard has the focused specialist ACF.

Changelings have racial sublevels for wizard in Races of Eberron, one of which is dual specialization in transmutation and illusion, at the cost of a total of three banned schools. This interacts nicely with things that grant bonuses to school specializations, since you get two specializations. Master specialist and focused specialist, for example, give you double the benefits.

That's kinda neat. I know it is also technically possible to 'specialize' in nearly everything through combining Aligned caster with abyssal specialist...
