[QUOTE="Artur Hawkwing, post: 5883281, member: 50177"] Qik The few times I've actually leveled a caster to 4th or 5th level, I find myself asking the same kind of questions. I'm pretty inexperienced with it, especially regarding PF, but I ask myself a couple of questions. Like who my character is and what kind of spells he/she would use. For example, my old Rogue-Sorcerer(ess) that I had in a game run by GlassEye, for the early part, there was a lot of stuff that she used to extricate herself from bad situations. Fog spells and the like. Then again, when you've a strength of 7....;) Anyway, I find it helps not just to ponder what spell to take, but if the char has developed to you, then think about what would best fit the character involved. Has he/she been in a situation where he/she would have found it useful to have Unseen Servant? Or perhaps been poisoned in combat and found it difficult to recover from, something his/her "Natural" talent might learn from, thus developing a Ray of Sickness? Would he/she do such a thing to the opponent? That's how I figure it out, though my casters always end up being disposable as in the past, aside from that Rogue-Sorcerer(ess), my 3/3.5 casters seemed to always end up in a Minmaxed group and had little, if anything, to contribute. Between that and the rules lawyering, it can really make the game not fun for someone who develops their character that way. :) [/QUOTE]
