Obviously you must also be a specialist wizard. You can get in at level 4 simply with some skill points in knowledge (arcana) and spellcraft, spell focus, and being able to cast second level spells. The Master Specialist is one of the earliest entry prestige classes around, and that is without cheese, even. You may need to decide for yourself if your character fits that mold. Additionally, there are times when I point out a specific school as being less useful to stick around for all ten levels and other schools as being worthwhile. Others will go all ten levels of Master Specialist and never consider Archmage. Some characters will utilize Master Specialist just for those entry requirements. As the flavor text points out, reaching archmage is easy through Master Specialist. Specific builds will conflict with this, but I found it much easier to write this way than to try and consider fitting in all the amazing prestige class and multiclass builds you can consider. Therefore, I am assuming you want to take as much of this prestige class as useful and possible. However, it is far more difficult to give advice of how much of one prestige class you must take given a base class plus prestige class as compared to just being given a base class. Obviously this isn't always the case as there are many other prestige classes out there. What does that mean, exactly? I mean taking all ten levels of the prestige class if it appears in the best interest of the specialist wizard. As I considered a variety of points, I decided to keep the point of view that the character will be trying to make as much use of the class as possible. I also want to mention a few thoughts I had while writing this handbook. In this handbook I will try to look at the Master Specialist from the perspective of each school instead of as a whole, because you are only going to be receiving the goodies related to your chosen specialty. Part of this is because there are so many spells out there and part of it is because spellcasters in general have so many options. That is, even within the same school, two or three builds could actually end up looking quite different. The Master Specialist allows for a great deal of … specialization. Will it be a good choice? That depends on the school, what you are looking to do with your specialization, and whether or not you are using alternate class features. Then you realized you wanted more so you found the handy dandy Master Specialist to mesh with your chosen school. So you chose wizard and you picked out a school for specialization.
