Keep on the Shadowfell (OOC)

[Charwoman Gene]

Hallo gene! nice to see you here!

Out of curiosity, if you want a battlefield controller, why did you choose acid arrow over sleep?Isn't it a bit too awesome to pass?

I wanted the ability to choose a high-damage daily. I might go back in and redo it.

FYI - you're not including the Eladrin +2 to Arcana and History in your skill bonuses.

I don't want to intrude, really, just an opinion. Fact is, Sleep is probably one of the best spells in the game, despite being 1st level. I don't remember any other spell that inflicts the "unconscious" condition. So maybe you don't want to prepare it because of flavour reason or tastes etc., but i think you should know it. Again, just an opinion.

I agree that Sleep is one of, if not the best, low level control spell the wizard has available. But I guess if you doubt the damage-dealing ability of the rest of the party, then having a high-damage dealer for the daily spell is not a bad thing.
And as far as I know this party has only 1 striker (the Rogue, who is primarily melee, but may do a bit distance), so extra ranged damage is not a bad thing.

As it seems we've got enough meatshields and such, I wouldnt mind swapping to a Ranger actually. If nobody objects, ofcourse.

Edit: Or perhaps a warlock.. *will read up some more*

I don't. Having another striker would be awesome.

I'd say it's one of the best at any level. It's an area attack that initually causes the slowed condition, which is very good in the first round or so; then if they fail the save they're unconscious, and obvously there's no better condition, and, as i said if i'm not mistaken no other spell causes that.
Anyway, i'd take flaming sphere over acid arrow; freezing cloud is only good against minion if i don't miss something...

I don't think damage dealing's gonna be too much of a problem.

So here's my draft so far, just need to spend my remaining gp on mundane equipment. Whadaya think?
