Regardless of whether or not the rules technically allow me to use the 3rd level spell slot at 1st level to cast level 0-1 spells, my DM will allow me to do it. With that in mind, how important is that extra spell per day at low levels? Is is important enough to out-balance the +3 HP/level...

I disagree. The bonus spell slots aren't given based on experience. They are given based on intelligence. If a character has a high intelligence, he has more mental capacity. You aren't allowed to learn higher level spells until you have gained experience, and that makes sense. No 2nd level...

Felix, my DM is going to allow me to use my bonus spell slots to cast extra level 0 and level 1 spells at 1st level (15 Int = 1 bonus level 2 per day, 17 Int = 1 bonus level 2 and 1 bonus level 3 per day). At first level I won't be able to cast any level 2 spells. But since a 15 Int allows the...

My DM has a particular method for rolling scores. You roll your ability scores, and then you are allowed to switch two scores. After that, you make any racial modifications. I originally rolled: str: 17 dex: 12 con: 10 int: 15 wis: 15 char: 13 If I were to switch Wis and Dex, my...

Thanks again to everyone who has been helping me pick a race and class for my character. I have one final dilemna to sort out. Any suggestions would be helpful. Which character is better? Gnome 1 str: 13 dex: 12 con: 12 int: 17 wis: 15 char: 13 Gnome 2 str: 8 dex: 12 con: 19 int...

How about, you chop off his head, and carry it around with you in a sack, tied up tightly with a rope with about six knots. Sure, maybe the vampire could TECHNICALLY come back to life, but let's be honest, even if his body comes in search of his head, how can he find it when his EYES are...

When the PHB lists class skills for a certain class, do you automatically start out with those skills, and then use additional skill points at 1st level to distribute amongst other skills, or are the class skills simply recommendations? For example, for wizards it says: Class Skills The...

Not sure. I'll have to ask him. I know he plays 3.5 edition, and he said he would probably convert to 4th edition. He was with me when I rolled my ability scores, and I told him I was planning to make this character a wizard. He wasn't too familiar with the rules for spellcasting, so I don't...

What about spell focus: enchantment, to balance out the gnomish +1 racial bonus to DC on illusion spells? Is it better to be balanced, or to stack up the DC points in a single category? Here's a question: By specializing in illusion, would I get a bonus to DC on illusion spells? Judging by the...

Unfortunately, I don't have these books. Also, switching between different classes (or at least between variations of the wizard class) seems pretty complicated, and I don't know the first thing about how that works. I don't think my DM understands it, either. This is my first time playing...

After tweaking stats back and forth, I have arrived at the following candidates: gnome 1 str 8 (-1 attack str, +1 attack size) dex 12 (+1 range attack dex, +1 range attack size), (+1 AC dex, +1 AC size) con 19 (+4 HP/lvl, +4 concentration, +4 fortitude) int 15...

I like the idea of a gnome illusionist. I don't think I would specialize in illusion, because I don't want to give up any schools of magic (although I am not exactly attached to abjuration or transmutation). If you specialize, do you get 1 additional spell per level per day from your school...

Thanks for the replies. I have considered switching str and con, but am not too excited about the idea. I am surprised so many of you have suggested that option. Here are the three options: option #1 option #2 option #3 str --> int str --> dex str -->...

I have been researching and crunching numbers for a few days now, and I just can't make up my mind about how to create this character. I have my heart set on creating a wizard. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I am about to begin playing in a friend's campaign. I rolled my character's...
