Languages spoken: Avalonian, Celestial, Common, Draconic, Dwarven, Elven, Undercommon Skills: Knowledge (Dungeoneering) +1, Appraise +4, Concentration +4, Craft (Armorsmith) +1, Craft (Weaponsmith) +1Decipher Script +4, Diplomacy +4, Disable Device +1, Knowledge (Arcana) +4, Knowledge (Architecture) +1, Knowledge (Geography) +1, Knowledge (History) +1, Knowledge (Local) +1, Knowledge (Nature) +1, Knowledge (Nobility) +4, Knowledge (Planes) +1, Knowledge (Religion) +1, Open Lock +1, Search +4, Spellcraft +4, Use Magic Device +4; Should be 40 skill points for class + 8 for DM kindness <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />.Feats:  Armor Proficiency (Light), Armor Proficiency (Medium), Artisan Bonus, Craft Reserve, Disable Trap, Extraordinary Artisan (human feat), Thanks to the magic of errata you can’t take Extraordinary Artisan twice, so I am thinking of Spellfire(1st level character feat), Item Creation, Magical Aptitude (DM Bonus feat), Scribe Scroll, Shield Proficiency, Simple Weapon Proficiency. Other Feats: Magical Artisan - Scrolls (replace first level wizard bonus feat)Wiz Spells Known (4/4): 0--All 1--Charm person, Color Spray, Expeditious Retreat Swift, Feather Fall, Magic missile, Mage Armor, Shield, Sleep + Domain Spell (spell choice might change depending on domain spell) Domain: Going to be a domain wizard, either fire, cold ant magic or force.  The DM might allow any cleric domain as a mage domain, more on that laterPossessions: Scrolls I make: 2nd level spells - Knock, web, invisibility, scorching Ray x2 (125 gold 5 xp) 1st level spells - Cure Light Wounds x 4 (50 gold 2 xp) Free starting gear: Backpack 2 empty sacks a waterskin a bedroll a blanket Noble's Outfit as robes works just fine. Additionally, you have: -a reddish-brown chestnut roan stallion with a reddish mane (pick light or heavy riding horse), with full gear (meaning- bit/bridle, riding saddle, and saddlebags (2)) (all free!)
