[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 5691401, member: 20323"] A new player joined our group - been gaming with us 2 sessions now, and he came from a D&D skirmish game background with a bit of 3e experience too. He's been simultaneously overwhelmed with adjusting to the rules and fiddly bits, and bored at his options playing a pre-gen Thief. He enjoyed the massive damage but it wasn't biting his D&D bug. Turns out his favorite class in 3e was the wizard. He's been working some brutal hours and said he doesn't have the energy (or system mastery) to make a new character just yet. I offered to make a pre-gen mage for him, and he seemed to brighten up at that prospect. Recall he had trouble understanding/finding things on the character sheet from the Character Builder, I tried something different (benefit to insomnia, heh :) ). Take a peek at the attached PDF character sheet and let me know what you think. How does it read? And any build advice is welcome too. Thanks! EDIT: Theme is Oghma's Faithful and background is Born Under a Bad Sign (with its hit point ridiculousness). [/QUOTE]
