[QUOTE="Arilyn, post: 7635462, member: 6816042"] I recently made a human wizard. She has a 16 Dex and 14 Int. I focussed more on dex because I'm making a dagger wielding fighter/ wizard, without the need for multiclassing. As a variant human, she took light armour proficiency, which also let me up her dex by one point. She wields two daggers in combat and has a good AC. Because her Int. is little lower than a typical wizard, she focuses on spells that require no saves, and lives with less known spells in her book. But she doesn't need to waste slot on mage armour. She carries extra daggers and is willing to throw or drop one if she needs a hand free for casting. She does well in combat. She took the abjuration school, which has been a great choice for her. She's got good dex save, good dex skills and those dex boosts for armour class and hitting. I could dip into fighter or rogue, but I kinda like this fighter/ wizard who is actually pure wizard. On the other hand, I'll admit it feels wrong... It shouldn't be this easy. I'm gaming the system! This isn't me! and she has a low str. Didn't I just complain about that?? Ah well, I'm waiting for those magic daggers no one cares about...😊 [/QUOTE]
