Allowed Races

Not all races can become specialists of all schools. Usually, these limitations are due to a particular race's body chemistry, mental or emotional predisposition, magical resistance, or cultural restrictions. The history of the DM's campaign world might also suggest limitations.

If the DM imposes racial restrictions on a new school, he should present justification for them. For instance, gnomes are restricted from specializing in our school of metamorphics. The reason? A thousand years ago in our campaign world, a brotherhood of transfigurist gnomes accidently developed a metamorphics spell that permanently transformed a city of gnomes into a field weeds. The gods were so upset by this carelessness that the transfigurist specialty has been forbidden to gnomes ever since.
