[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 7090987, member: 2629"] It is very helpful. Even when I disagree to a huge disagree with something you say, I find it helpful to read the discussion. I think guides like this one provide a great service - but I do think that having an additional section that walks players through the decision points helps. I'd revise my earlier statement to say that a guide such as this should have a walkthrough section that goes through creation and decision making guidance as the character advances. One area where this is really important, in my eyes, for a wizard is in building the spellbook. The balance between adding rituals, spells you often prepare, and spells you rarely prepare to your spellbook is key, as is the urgency with which they need to be added and the method of obtaining (free at level, found or bought). Saying a spell is good is fine - but understanding whether it is a spell you want ASAP and thus need to select as soon as you can get it for free if you do not already have it or whether it is one of those good spells you can wait to get is a huge difference.
