Message: <blockquote data-quote="prabe" data-source="post: 8176708" data-attributes="member: 7016699">Any wizard with Alert feat is unsurprised, and there are ways (I can think of at least three, with some overlap) to at least improve the odds of having a better initiative than your Bastion. If we're building wizards to be paranoid (which isn't fun, but whatever) then Sorcerer Initiate for a couple points and subtle-cast Teleport to get away or any of a number of other spells before your Bastion has a turn.But that's not real important. What I persist in noticing is that you keep not responding to what a fair fight really--the way to test your build--is: No wish, no simulacrum, pick a starting distance and roll Initiative. You don't want that. You want all the time in the world to prep your character (because your DM likes you, I guess) and you don't want to allow the wizard any similar opportunity (mainly because when they have that opportunity the sorcerer dies, I suppose).</blockquote>
