@FrontLine MeatShield Do you have any preference? Anyone else?

I would say wizard. We have a paladin and my ranger for front line melee. But play what you want.

Possibly a Idiot.
Upon further consideration, I will start out with the sword and board. Because it's generic, but effective. Getting a "signature weapon" will be part of Rhino's arc. Swapping weapons later wont be too much of an issue, due to the fact paladins don't even get a fighting style until level 2.
As for FitzTheRuke's character, I would say the wizard, but honestly playing as a dinosaur sounds fun so whatever.

I'm thinking wizard as well. Although the RP for any of your ideals sounds like fun.
Still think I need the bare bones of Amitiel in the RG, but all and all I think everyone is about ready.

That's most votes for Wizard! Working on him...
Any source restrictions for spells? Should I stick with PHB or is Xanathar's okay? (I've almost never played a wizard, so this should be interesting. I honestly don't know anything about which spells are the best, except the ones that I see in play as a DM.)
I kind of want to make him a summoner. As a regular DM, it shouldn't slow me down like it sometimes does with players in IRL games.

No restrictions in this game, it being my first in a long time. Just as long as you have fun with it.

Good choice! Depending on your cantrip choices, I may revisit my choice for the bonus high elf one. No biggie, just looking for synergy and as little overlap as possible.
@FrontLine MeatShield, can we pick spells from Tasha’s ?
Cheers!

What cantrips would you suggest, then? I'm happy to collaborate.

I took prestidigitation, but that’s a wizard staple, so I understand if you go for it and I’ll take something else, really not a problem.
For cantrips, I’d recommend mind sliver (from Tasha’s if allowed, my character has a save dc that’s too low because he lacks the int, but your character should rock this - it also gives a psion feel!), mage hand, message, prestigitation, minor illusion depending on your tastes.
1st level: some nice choices are find familiar (r), comprehend languages(r), detect magic (r), mage armor, shield, absorb elements and something useful like grease or sleep.
FYI, I like rituals so I personally take as many as I can when playing a wizard.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
sg
