Mithril armor is definitely on his wish list. Whether I can get it or not will depend on the kind of campaign my buddy is running. He has a taste for settings in which special materials and magic items are won, not bought.
The PC isn't much a blaster, except with his BW... His spell "wish list" includes things like Hold Portal and Knock, but also "buffs" like Bladeweave, Sonic Weapon and Blades of Fire.
But doggone it, blargney, I hadn't even considered Ability Focus (Breath Weapon)! I may just be able to get him to let me take that. The hurdle will be can I convince him that a feat derived BW qualifies for the Feat's "Special attack" prereq...and that a human PC can take Feats from the MM.
If I get a familiar, I'll be taking a Toad, no question. However, I'm trying to cajole him into letting me switch out the Familiar for something else- probably a feat of some kind. Familiars may be a staple of magic in RPGs and fiction, but in his campaigns, Familiars (and Animal Companions) often wind up as dead staples.
Considering that the PC is going to be multiclassing with a more combat capable class, the 16-17 Cha he has is probably sufficient. He won't qualify for the top level spells, and he'd only gain 1-5 slots pumping Cha every 4 levels. OTOH, 3 of those will be of the 4th+ level variety. Hmmm...definitely worth thinking about, one extra use each of an 8d6, 10d6 and 12d6 Breath weapon.
