[QUOTE="EsperDerek, post: 303138, member: 6435"] I gotta say, it feels like that DM has stacked the deck against you. Just what is forcing you to stay in this glade for two years straight? As RingXero said, maybe you can use it to your advantage somehow, even if it's to get the hell out of there. A level 1 Wizard has absolutely no place in a forest without any real protection and limited supplies for two years. A Druid or a Ranger could do it, or maybe even a Sorceror, but Wizards belong more in the city. However, with that said, there's a few things you can do. Remember that animals generally will leave you alone unless they're hungry or you're interfering with their territory. If they do attack, that Sleep spell is your best friend. If faced against stronger humanoids or monsters, it might be able to put them to sleep long enough to CDG them. And then, hey, you have a source of meat. Shelter. You need shelter, especally when it gets cold. Make like a mole and dig a hole. Those flasks of oil will be helpful, as most things are deterred by fire. And, hey, if worse comes to worse, you can always light the whole damn forest on fire, and hope that it burns down to the ground. That'll attract some attention. As others have said, make friends if you can. Fey, while fickle, can make good friends. And, hey, if a troop of orcs or other humanoids pass by, maybe you can get yourself captured. Escaping from a camp of orcs would be alot easier than surviving in a glade for two years. As others have said, Multi-class if you can. Even if you don't want to steer away from the spellcasting classes, Sorcerors make things alot easier, with their automatic spell-learning. Besides, it has a not-half-bad reason for happening-the stresses of surviving ignite the magic in your soul. For added benefit, make most of the spells nature spells. But really, it feels like the DM has stacked the deck against you for some unknown reason. Maybe it WOULD be best to commit seppuku. [/QUOTE]
