[QUOTE="Baumi, post: 6332658, member: 2569"] While a nice build, I think the medium Armor is overrated. Mage Armor is just a level one Spell that doesn't need concentration and stays active for 8 hours. At first level you will have equal AC (the high end medium armor is too expensive) and while you later loose one or two AC compared to medium armor, if you increase dex over the +2 Bonus you will get equal later on and might even surpass it. Also the spell doesn't give you Disadvantage on stealth. The Strenght Build with a Warhammer sound great and works well on level 1-4, but the Wizard is missing some Melee Buffs to stay relevant to the other classes who have multiple Attacks or a Damage Boosts. Also his Attack Spells will be so much more powerfull than his Melee Attacks from Level 5 forward, that it would be stupid not to use them. I actually tried a Str / Con Build, and only took Utility and Defensive Spells so I could ignore Int. And while the HP's went through the roof, it was certainly a weaker build than a classical Hight-Int Elf Evoker. But maybe the other Sub-Classes and the full Spell-list will remedy the problem.
