[QUOTE="Angerland, post: 2763312, member: 32518"] The Stats were rolled 4d6 drop the lowest, It was a pretty good roll up, best I have had in a long time, usually I am the guy in the group with average stats so I am pleasently happy. I rolled 16,16,15,15,12,10 and you can figure out the placement. I saw your emoticon and there were no hard felleings from me, but that is hard to convey through a keyboard I guess :). Wow! thanks for the outpouring, now to try to catch up on some of the comments and perhaps explain my thought process a bit. The Leather Armor/Mage armor thing was merely me not fully reading and understanding that one would not stack with another. A lot of folks had good ideas about spell selection, my current choices aren't in stone yet so they may flex as I learn more about what is useful and what is not. I chose not to specialize as this is my very first wizard. With that said I didn't want to limit myself by throwing 2 schools completely out the window, although that may make spell selection easier for me as it is leass spells to try to read and learn the rules for. My choice of point blank shot has generated quite a bit of a stir. Improved Initiative is a feat that I plan to pick up in the future. I know how useful it could be now but I DO have a +3 to Init from Dex. Also, PBS carries over to the crossbow that I will have to rely on for back up when things go south (i.e. out of spells) In no particular order here are the feats I have earmarked for this character: Scribe Scroll, Point Blank Shot,Precise Shot, Empower Spell, Spell Penetration, Greater Spell Penetration, Quicken Spell, Improved Initiative, Extend Spell, Craft Wonderous Item, Craft Magical Arms and Armor, Craft Staff. I know that there are probably better feats in Complete Arcane like the Sudden feats but I feel, perhaps wrongly so, that I have a solid feat selection going. Getting them in the best order may be tricky... Keep the posts coming, I am learnign SO much! [/QUOTE]
