I have a Goblin Enchantment Wizard, current stats - S6 D14 C11 I20 W12 Ch14, 22hp. She has a 1-level dip in divine Soul, so she currently a Divine Soul 1/Enchantment Wizard 5.
She is mostly a back line character, occasionally moves to the front and tries hyp gaze and then disengages if she fails. She also hides as a bonus action a lot (she is proficient in stealth from background). Her only defenses are shield and mage armor, so her AC is not great even with shield.
When she turns 6th level Wizard she will get Instinctive Charm. I am wondering if it is worth keeping Shield. I can't really see her using it a lot since instinctive charm is usually going to be more effective at redirecting attacks and you make the decision on the roll with instinctive charm, so if you wait to see if the roll hits it is too late.
