Message: <blockquote data-quote="Kamard" data-source="post: 482754" data-attributes="member: 2551">Rather than telling you what to do, I am going to tell you what not to do.Don't focus terribly on one type of spell.  One attack spell that hits multiple enemies, one utility spell, one defensive spell.  Try to think of ways that a spell can work for you.  Be ingenious.Don't discount a ranged weapon.  You won't have enough spells to take down your enemies, and melee is your worst enemy.Think a while and maybe take Shield Proficiency as a feat.  If nothing else, you can keep a small shield in your pack and when you run out of spells, whip it out and have some extra AC.Don't take a race that subtracts your CON, unless it does wonders for you in the spell department.  Same goes for DEX or INT.Don't be a half-orc or half-elf.  Just don't. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /> Don't forget that tanks are your friend.  Hide behind them.  Buff spells at 3rd level.  On you.As you grow up and start getting better spells, think about multiclass/prestige class options.  A level of cleric or fighter (or ranger) can do a lot for a low level wizard, while still letting you get to 17th level wizard where you get the good stuff.Don't specialize- limiting yourself at such a low level might wind up being a bad thing for you.Don't forget to make as many scrolls of your attack spells as you can, that way you can focus memorization on other spells.  Make a wand of your favourite attack spell as early as you possibly can.  Brew a lot of potions.  I guess here I am saying the item creation feats are spectacular.If you still have a feat left over (which you won't) pick up Martial Weapon Proficiency, and pick something that does a horrific amount of damage, like a greataxe.  That way if you get cornered, you might be able to take a couple of ineffectual weak-wristed wizard swings and take down your enemy.  Invest in running shoes.Spend gold to hire mercenaries.  Ones with shields, or greataxes, that way you don't need to waste feats. Have them stand close to you.  Paint targets on their helmets.  Don't wear a robe.  Wizards wear robes, and you don't want to be a wizard, because even orcs know what a wizard looks like, and they kill guys like you first.  Wear a holy symbol or priestly vestments, or monk's clothing.  That way you look less like someone who will scream and bleed.  Plus when you do let loose with a colour spray or a fireball, the looks on their faces will be funnier.Thats it from Kamard, and happy motoring.</blockquote>
