[QUOTE="Vito Corleone, post: 131404, member: 3992"] I'm playing a level 15 wizard right now. Somethings that I have found. Taking a race with a con pentaly is not a good idea. The more hp you have the better. Even though you can get an elf with a +int bonus, you are losing out on 1 hp/level. These add up quickly. Taking a human is great because you can take the feats spell casting prodigy and improved initiative on first level. Getting the spell penetration feat is a good idea as well, as spell resistance will be the most annoying thing a wizard will ever run into. I wouldn't specialize, but if you are going to specialize, I think the best bang for your buck would be a Transmuter that dumps conjuration. Conjuration has good spells, but I tend to find that most spells that every wizard takes are from the Transmutation sphere. Haste, Fly, Polymorphs, Teleports, Disintigrate. And the sphere of the least spells taken are from is conjuration. I'm not saying there are no good conjuration spells, just that you'd be giving up a sphere that you'd probably take the least spells from. Taking a spell focus in Necromancy is very good on high levels. Necromancy spells are pretty brutal to fail saves against. Finger of death, Horrid Wilting, Wail of the Banshee (I don't have the wail yet, but it's the first level 9 spell I have planned on right after Time Stop). As far as creation feats go, Craft Wonderous Item is probably the best. You can make things that every character can make use of. You can also make Boccob's blessed book with wonderous items, which is nice to have. Where as the weapons and armor are sepcific to fighter-types. Of course you need to take into account what kind of campaign you are playing in. If you are in a world where magic arms and armors are not easily obtainable, you might want to make some for the tanks that keep you alive. The best spells, I find, are the ones that have no saving throw. Quest, Maze, Otto's Dance. Of course those are high level spells. Anyways, that is just a few tips and things that i have found by playing. [/QUOTE]
