[QUOTE="Shard O'Glase, post: 446088, member: 1134"] I just resing myself to not contributing much to a fight(offensively at least) at low levels, though sometimes surviving might requie learning either sleep or color spray. Definetly take shield though since t gives a +7 to ac and lasts the entire fight you might be able to contirbute by not getting hit and therefore ebing able to keep shooting your crossbow. I don't go with mage armor I see it like slep nice at low levels with its long duraiton, but what pure wiz/sor doesn't buy braces of armor eventually. I'd go with a utility spell like tensers floating disk, you might not be able to help in a fight directly with your spells but you might be able to help carry loot, unconscious comrades etc, and just help out that way.(I had a special harness built so I could strap a tower shield to the tensers disk, this allowed me to provide mobile cover for the party and was a great combat tool) Magica missile sucks at level one but by level 3 it actually does some decent damage since it always hits. Some people find taking the 1st level illusion spell which I can't remember the name of useful at all levels even in fights to some degree so you might want to go there. SM1 provides a sucker which isn't a great help in a fight but provides flanking bonues(sneak attacks) and can triger traps at low tomid to high levels. [/QUOTE]
