Mirna Human Wizard
[sblock=Old chitchat about power selection]The current question absorbing me (other than giving Zurai a hard time of course
) is: should I take
magic missile?
Definitely going with
Scotching Burst and
Thunderwave and I wanted the
Cloud of Dagger powers... but that's a lot of AoO/zone stuff (and
CoD does 2 damage, not much to write home about).
And
mm is actual, honest to goodness damage at long range.
Of course that creates another problem, all three of my wizard at will powers don't have effects, which means... no point in doing orb. (at least until later levels).
Can I retrain to Orb from something else (staff?) at higher levels? With
Icy Terrain,
Freezing Cloud and
Thunderwave I think she's still a controller...
But
Ray of Frost and
Cloud of Daggers aren't particularly good, any time that I'd probably want to use
ray of frost it'd probably be better to move and ready
thunderwave. (or just freaking run away) you're more likely to plug a bunch of people and or mess up their attack. Miss with
ray of frost and they'll run you down for sure.
Even staff isn't that good, it's just a +1 to AC (the special power is keyed off of constitution, of which Mirna has not much). Of course that's better than nothing.
This, would, of course, be less of an issue if I didn't insist on having an int of 20... (my own fault really, I've seen too many clerics that can't hit). with my new constitution I now have a plus one![/sblock]

[sblock=Appearance]Mirna is tall and rangy. Her hands and feet seem to be just a little bit bigger than they should be. No one has ever seen her wear a dress, until recently she was invariably dressed in a pair of patched pants and a worn shirt. Recently she's started to wear a flowing shirt that look suspiciously like a robe; putting on airs the townfolk think, since she's not a proper wizard.
For a long time she kept her fine blond hair short, but she's recently started to grow it out and it now hangs down her chin when it's not tied up (which it usually is).
Her high cheekbones, slightly pointed ears and pale blue eyes hint at elvin blood, but only a hint.
She seems to attract dirt, her habits aren't necessarily messy, in fact some of her guardian's fastidiousness seems to have rubbed off on her, but, nevertheless, she's always going about with a smudged face and ink stained fingers.[/sblock]

I do not have the orb, I just spent time typing it up and didn't want to "lose" it.
✦Orb of Imposition (free; encounter) ✦ Arcane, Implement [sblock=Orb]Once per encounter as a free action, you can use your orb to gain one of the following two effects.
- You can designate one creature you have cast a wizard spell upon that has an effect that lasts until the subject succeeds on a saving throw. That creature takes a penalty to its saving throws against that effect equal to -2.
- You can choose to extend the duration of an effect created by a wizard at-will spell (such as cloud of daggers or ray of frost) that would otherwise end at the end of your current turn. The effect instead ends at the end of your next turn.

He's not some maverick gunslinger. I think you'll see what I mean when we get some battles with a goodly amount of terrain on them. I can't wait to make some brute chase Immeral across a bunch of difficult terrain only to Fey Step back to the original side and toss a Hunter's Bear Trap on it to slow it and give it a 5 damage ongoing bleed as it trudges back through the difficult terrain 1 square at a time.
