[QUOTE="fidgelel, post: 6339900, member: 6777736"] I am currently playing in a 5th edition adventure with five characters- we roll for our ability scores, and I have an amazing set that I wanted advice on how to best utilize in the future. I am a level 5 Wizard (Human) with the following ability scores... STR: 15 DEX: 18 CON: 16 INT: 20 WIS: 15 CHA: 15 HP: 35 AC: 14 magic items: Wand of Magic Missile There are a total of 5 characters in the party, and we are running through an old 1st edition adventure, Temple of Elemental Evil. The other four characters are a level 5 Fighter, level 5 Cleric, level 5 Barbarian, and a Rogue4/Fighter1. My goal is to make my character the best it can be. My first two thoughts were to take a sixth level in Wizard, or a first in Fighter. (Since this is our first time playing 5E, the DM has agreed to let me swap my Strength and Dexterity scores if I so choose) I currently spend my time casting Fireballs, scorching ray, ray of frost- but with these ability scores I realized I could multiclass into any other class and probably be pretty good at it. Is it even worth multiclassing, or should I try to level up my Wizard? I want advice on how to best level up my character, what equipment to use, and any other advice you might have including things you would have changed in the past, the DM might still let me change it.
