[QUOTE="Lord Twig, post: 6917371, member: 31754"] What I like to do is spend my first ASI at 4th level on Int. This will raise it from 16 to 18, or if it my Int is 17 I will still raise it to 18 and try to even out another stat somewhere (If Con is already an even number I will throw the extra stat bump here to make it odd). 4th level is where everyone else gets a boost to their primary attacks and I don't like to be left behind. It feels like my reward for making it through the first 3 levels. Proficiency will go up at 5th level, making your save DC 15, right when you are getting Fireball... And I [I]love[/I] throwing Fireballs around at 5th level. :) Then at 8th I will get Resilience: Con (Con is usually 13, but not always) to increase my Con save by +4 (+1 for the bump, +3 from Proficiency) and my HP by +8. About this level some serious spells and effects start getting thrown around and it is more difficult to just not be in the area of effect, so the increased Con save and HP comes in really handy. Proficiency will go up to +4 at 9th level, bumping up save DC to 16. (And +1 to saves, attacks, skills, etc.) At 12th level I will finally top off my Int at 20. Save DC becomes 17. At 13th level Proficiency goes up to +5 and your save DC goes up to 18. Everyone plays different of course, but this is how I like to do it. [/QUOTE]
