Well, yes. It was funny. And in DnD you can access the other schools anyway if you are an arance caster (I have made Sorcerors who can cast Lightning Bolt just as well as Invisibility). Hmm. Not seeing what the problem here is then, since you can cast any type of arcane spell as a Wizard/Sorceror/Bard, and you can cast any type of divine spell as a Cleric/Priest/Knight, and Druid's and Rangers get a weird hybrid spell list that takes things from both the divine and arcane spell lists.

And I'm not saying it is his fault - it was fun as hell, because we were playing an evil party so everyone expected everyone to backstab them at some point, but no one expected anyone to join up with Demigorgon. It was pure luck that I was neutral-evil and the Ranger was chaotic-good, and therefore neither of us had felt the need to take the feat. Especially since we could both just heal ourselves without having to rely on the necromancer (who was a wizard/cleric, half half, which is how he got access to most of his spells).
