[QUOTE="randomling, post: 3252794, member: 8432"] Hi everyone! I'm making an 8th level halfling sorcerer for a PbP on these boards. I haven't played for a while, and I'm good with most aspects of character creation, but I need a little help with her spell selection. I've picked a list, but I'd really like some of you to have a look at it and see what you think! The idea is for her to be a combat-oriented sorcerer who has a good set of options between supporting the party and blasting the heck out of her foes. (Which I pretty much think means that Fireball and Haste are non-negotiable! :) ) Here's the list - help would be much appreciated! [B]0-level[/B] (8) Detect Magic, Resistance, Flare, Acid Splash, Light, Touch Of Fatigue, Disrupt Undead, Detect Poison [B]1st level[/B]* (5) Magic Missile, Expeditious Retreat, Shield, Feather Fall, Protection From Evil [B]2nd level[/B] (3) Bull’s Strength**, Invisibility***, Scorching Ray [B]3rd level[/B] (2) Fireball, Haste [B]4th level [/B](1) Ice Storm *I totally wasn't sure what to do with 1st level spells. She has bracers, so I left out Mage Armour. I'm not convinced by Expeditious Retreat or Feather Fall; should I take another offensive spell or something? **Not sure whether to take Bull's Strength for the party, at a level where most characters who boost their strength will probably have magic items to help, or take something more selfish like Cat's Grace or Owl's Wisdom. ***When I have another 4th level spell I'll probably ditch this for something else (See Invis?) and take Greater Invis. Thank you very much in advance! :) [/QUOTE]
