Plane Sailing said:If you are having difficulty in keeping your 1st level sorcerers alive, can I recommend that you take a longspear as your simple weapon? Sorcerers get all simple weapons, and that includes the longspear with its marvellous *reach* - so anyone who attempts to attack you in melee must first face an AoO from you.
Best defensive weapon for the low level sorcerer!

Oh, me and longspear are going to be FAST friends!
I'm going with a race that gives +2 to cha (a homebrew race) so I'd rather that than human (its other benefits are nice too). Otherwise, Human it'd a-be.
Should I carry more than a longspear + Light Crossbow? Mayhaps a dagger, morningstar or light mace?
If this sorcerer bites it, I might try a socererous gnome with all illusions. However, my DM LOVES undead (and I played a rogue in his campaign for too long...)
