[QUOTE="tglassy, post: 7849616, member: 6855204"] Also, what about languages? Are languages a big thing? Because, as a Slave who is studying to be a Wizard in a world where people will string me up because I dare to do magic, or even if they think I'll do magic, like if they find my spell book, I was really thinking of being a Variant Human and taking the Linguist Feat, not just for the extra +1 to Intelligence, which I need, but also so I can create Cyphers. My spell book would be written in a Cypher, so nobody else could read it. It would just look like doodles or stories or something that is NOT instructions on how to cast a spell. But it also comes with 3 more languages known, which could be really useful...if languages are a thing. If they aren't, then it's a ribbon. Comprehend Languages is a stop gap for languages, but only lets you hear it. Tongues is great, but tells everyone around you you're a magic user, because everyone hears their own language. Just knowing languages will better allow him to hide what he is. I figure, Elvish, Draconic, maybe Dwarven or Giant are good options. I also plan on taking the Keen Mind feat at lvl 4, again for the +1 int (getting me to 18), but also so I can remember everything I've seen or heard in the past month, such as my spell book, which I may have to throw away or light on fire at some point to keep from getting caught.
