Chupacabra
First Post
New campaign starting up soon. I've played D&D since back in the day, but this is my first time to run an arcane caster under the 3.5 (or 3.0 for that matter) rules. Previously I've stuck with sword swingers, divine casters, or trap-springers (or some combo of the 3).
For the new campaign I created a human wizard (non-specialized), highest stat is 15 (+2 bonus) which of course went to INT. That gives me a whopping 5 level 1 spells to choose from. The campaign is going to be fairly standard, based on my past experiences with this DM. So I'm expecting a mix of combat, investigation, and social interaction. The setting is pretty standard also, typical Greyhawk-esque world. No side trips to the Underdark or Eberron or other planes are contemplated.
I was thinking along the lines of this line-up:
Charm Person
Mage Armor
Magic Missile (although I hate to be cliche)
Sleep and/or Color Spray and/or Hypnotic Pattern
Something like that. Any hints, tips or suggestions?
