[QUOTE="Satin Knights, post: 5774988, member: 6666968"] No. The higher level spell slots don't unlock until you can cast a spell of that level. So, with an 18 INT, you are going to get 2 general purpose first level spells, 1 in you specialization school, and 1 from your bonded object. You get 3 cantrips to memorize as well. Cantrips in Pathfinder are real nice in that they are not consumed in casting. You can repeat casting cantrips all day long. There are some special [URL="http://livingpf.wikia.com/wiki/Alternative_Cantrips"]alternative[/URL] cantrips available for LPF characters. Please, Please, Please! do not go universalist. You are sacrificing a spell slot per spell level to get a mediocre ranged melee attack. There are many interesting specialist schools to chose from. And you don't lose opposition school spells any more. If a spell is in an opposition school, it just takes two spell slots to memorize. When you are planning your character, remember that it will progress at a snails pace in play-by-post. It will take about a year to get to fourth level. So, pick something that will be interesting with the first level abilities. And although I would really love to see a goblin wizard, I don't think it is one of our allowed races. :p [COLOR=DimGray](see the top of your character sheet)[/COLOR] That one would be a real hard one to pull off considering their absolute hatred of books and the written word.
