[QUOTE="duhtroll, post: 2101306, member: 27586"] I was kidding about people not playing wizards. I know they are still loads of fun and new discoveries are around every corner. I'll be a little more specific with this PC and maybe it will help: I play a wizard level 4, currently in a FR campaign. (Silverymoon area) I have access to any book I want to use (stop drooling). I also have access to/am member of the wizard school listed in Silver Marches (wizard college p.60) that allows me to make any item/buy any spells I want. Item cost is 60% of DMG or book value. The downside? We have little money or treasure and our GM is throwing CR stuff twice our level at us -- or more. There are 5 of us in the party and only two of us are longtime gamers who can abuse the rules when needed. ;) When I say little or no treasure I mean a handful of minor magic items for the entire party so far and no one has more that 1500 gold to spend on anything. I have no magic items to speak of. We track all expenses, so I'm busy enough buying spells and making scrolls. Within the rules, (of course!!) I would like to venture into the Shadow Adept area for PrClass or something that does not rely on damage spells (but can cast a few for fun sometimes). I love the use of spells that have unintended uses (low level illusions breaking encounters and the like.) I'm not locked into anything. I thought of necro ray spells with that high dex (below) and taking things like twin spell/chain spell at higher levels, but I feel there is a better way to uber this PC - I just can't put my finger on it. Some of you "out of the box thinkers" help me out on this one. 4th human wizard - we rolled stats with 5d6/drop2 STR 13 DEX 18 CON 16 INT 18 WIS 15 CHA 14 What feats, prestige class combos, and spell combos would you use, knowing you probably won't have tons of cash to spend, but otherwise very nice access to item creation and spells from anywhere you want? I will be very appreciative for any help! Thanks all, -Andrew [/QUOTE]
