I mean those you cast when you wake up because they are usefull through all day, mage armor being one of them I guess.Question 4I run out of spells and I don't have any reserve feats (will take one at level 9): which weapon should I have ready so I can attack my enemies?My group already has a fighter, a monk and a bard, so I shouldn't really be in the first line, but I should try to steal spells by sneak attacking.Question 5I've got 5000GP (7000GP if I choose not to buy the armor and use Mage Armor instead)...I only have a belt of healing equipped, what else should I take?Utility items suggestions included.Thanks for your time and your help, I hope you made it so far <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I might add other questions later, as they come up in my mind.PS: Sorry for my english, I know it's not perfect but I do my best ^^</blockquote>
