[QUOTE="RogueJK, post: 7563006, member: 170"] Thanks for the detailed write-up, Esker. I'm currently AT3/Wiz1, with: STR 10 DEX 18 CON 16 INT 16 WIS 12 CHA 15 Skills: Arcana, Deception, Insight, Investigation, Perception (Expertise), Persuasion, Sleight of Hand, Stealth (Expertise) AT Cantrips: Mage Hand, Message, Toll the Dead Wiz Cantrips: Booming Blade, Minor Illusion, Prestidigitation AT 1st Level: Absorb Elements, Silent Image, Tasha's Hideous Laughter Wiz 1st Level: Alarm (scribed), Detect Magic, Feather Fall, Find Familiar, Fog Cloud, Grease, Illusory Script (scribed), Shield Out of combat, I'm the party scout, trapfinder, face, and utility caster. In combat, my tactics currently tend towards Hiding and Sneak Attacking with a Light Crossbow, and sometimes using my Rapier to BB+Disengage when a melee enemy closes on me. I drop the occasional spell, like Tasha's, Fog Cloud, or Grease, and use Shield/Absorb Elements to mitigate damage as needed. At 5th level, I'm picking up Wiz2, to get Bladesong. This AC/Concentration/Movement increase coincides with BB's damage increase, and my combat tactics will switch to focusing more on being a melee striker with BB + Disengage. The Barbarian and Cleric are usually engaged with at least one melee enemy apiece, so between that and having my Owl familiar Help, I can pretty reliably guarantee Sneak Attacks in melee. And I'll still have a Light Crossbow or Hand Crossbow (when Bladesong is active) for ranged Sneak Attacks as needed, plus Toll the Dead for other ranged attacks when I can't get Sneak Attack, the enemy is behind cover, or the enemy has a high AC.
