Using Spell Focus [Good] to qualify for Archmage [Archive] - Wizards Community

10-13-07, 10:22 PM I'm 99% sure that, by RAW, a character cannot use Spell Focus [Good] as one of the two Spell Focus feats necessary to qualify for Archmage.

Now, does anyone disagree with that?

Also, would anyone allow it to work for qualification in their campaigns, contrary to the RAW ruling?

10-13-07, 10:54 PM Good is not a school of magic in the dnd sense, so it would not let you qualify.

Still, it costs you a feat (like any other spell focus feat), and I would view it as generally being inferior to them (and the spell focus feats are already considered fairly weak).

I have no qualms about allowing it though.:)

+1. Total agree-ance.

Same here. I think Spell Focus (Cold) should also work.
