Pathfinder made the Sorcerer a lot better than it was in 3.5, but you just can't beat the flexibility of a Wizard. The real question is, what kind of Wizard do you want to be? A blaster sounds cool, but isn't as useful as it would appear to be. Since you are new to this, I am going to recommend a support role Wizard, whose job is to back up the other party members and provide a flexible magical response to any situation.Since I don't know if you are using point-buy or an array system, I won't bother with listing ability scores. Instead, I will offer as much other advice as I can. Class: WizardRace: Elf- Elven Magic and Immunities make for great wizardsFavored School: Conjuration- Conjuration is arguably the strongest school, and has a host of useful abilities. Plus summoned monsters are just plain great. Prohibited Schools: Necromancy and Divination- Necromancy has too many evil spells in it to a good choice for anyone who is good, and is still questionable for a neutral character. Divination spells, while useful, are with few exceptions mostly for out of combat, in which case the double spell slot taken isn't going to cripple you.First Level Feat: Spell Focus (Conjuration)- this enables you to get Augment Summoning at third level.Arcane Bond: Familiar (I'm not a fan of bonded items, the penalty if they are lost/stolen/destroyed/etc. is huge) Raven or bat are solid choices- a Raven can speak a language, which makes it useful for working with the party, and a bat has blindsense, which can help when dealing with invisible opponents and many illusions.1st Level Spells: Mage Armor, Grease, Summon Monster I are the obvious choices. Without knowing your intelligence modifier, I won't know exactly how many other spells you will know at first level. Here are the others to add, in descending order of importance:Magic Missile, Color Spray, Shield, Charm Person, Enlarge Person</blockquote>
