[QUOTE="Graf, post: 4279580, member: 3087"] I've got more coming but just to chime in: tactics are huge in 4e. WD's been banging that drum in my kots game to little effect but (and others) are right. Especially in group with controllers and strikers. The sane thing for a lower level wizard is to take initiate of the faith, toughness or something that makes you less squishy. In Mirna's case I'm really loath to do so though. Her background "requires" a bunch of non-wizard trained skills. that increases pressure on the rest of the group (a squishy with 20ish hit points can go from full to negative hit points in a surprise round) Also: I'm very keen to go more or less straight orb controller. We may say that she got Gladir to get her a copy of the sleep spell (the potential for pranking is to awesome to resist) but her encounter and daily will be the ice-terain control spells and she'll have thunderwave (?) and cloud of daggers. I have some other stuff to do this morning but I'll try to get a spit ball up today. [/QUOTE]
