[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 7820261, member: 1231"] Funnily enough one of the earliest characters concepts I drew up when PF2 came out was a goblin wizard with a tanked Int, 😅 . The idea being to see what you could accomplish if you never used a single spell that was affected by your key stat. So no attack rolls and no saves. And I would still totally try a concept like that to "stress test" the wizard, though if I wanted to "optimize" for effectiveness it might be easier to go with a half-elf with elven weapon familiarity and put everything into Dex, Con, Str, and Wis, with your backstory being that your elven parent pushed you into wizardry when you did not really have a talent for it (my goblin idea is that he was a gambler who took a bet on reading a book and it turned out to be a spellbook, so he has high charisma for deception, which is not quite as optimized for combat). The spellbook at 1st level was: cantrips - dancing lights, detect magic, ghost sound, light, mage hand, message, prestidigitation, read aura, shield, sigil 1st - mage armour, magic missile, magic weapon, pest form, summon animal, true strike [/QUOTE]
