[QUOTE="nakia, post: 1910448, member: 25747"] Jacob "Jake" Farris gets 7 first level spells to begin play with. He got most of them at wizard school. He has spell focus - enchantment as a feat. Here are some spells he may take: sleep magic missle mage armor identify charm person shield comprehend languages I need feedback on his spell selection. Do I really need mage armor and shield? Is there something I should have that I overlooked? Is comprehend languages worthwhile? There is also a story element present in his focus on enchantment spells. I think Jacob is a lonley guy. He was an only child, his parents are dead, he was made fun of a lot for being the smart kid until he went to wizard school. At wizard school he was made fun of for being the poor kid. He wants, more than anything, to have friends and a surrogate family. He also wants a girlfriend. He also really likes words and books. He wants to have a library of his own some day. Some of this led to his focus on enchantment spells, but now he realizes that charmed people are not really your friends, so he's ambivalent about enchantment spells. Now, it makes little sense to spend a feat on spells he feels bad about casting. So, how should I approach this? Focus on another school, like transmutation? Maybe even specialize in some other school and get rid of enchantment and another school? I want Jacob to have spells that fit his personality and story, but want him to be effective in the game. Any hellp you kind folks can provide will be appreciated. [/QUOTE]
