What race is the Wizard in your group? (take II)

[Thanee]

Voted "no wizard", since there is a sorcerer in our current party (two actually, if you count the dragon disciple with one sorcerer level and no clue about spellcasting ).

As for the wizards I've seen in our games, we had elven, dwarven, halfling, gnome and human wizards, with elves and humans being the most common.

In my PbP there is a gnome wizard.

In our current campaign we have a human (now drow) Swashbuckler/Fighter/Wizard/Duelist (our only arcane caster, with only one level wizard )

I probably should have voted "no wizard", there is none in our 2 current groups. Instead I made the mistake of thinking of the previous groups Is there any chance to edit your vote?

In the game I play in we have a human diviner. Used to have a second wizard (a human conjurer) but he got to be dinner for a Wyvern.

In the game I run there is no wizard.

I've seen a lot of dwarf wizards in my various 3.0/3.5 campaigns. Because one of the wizard players 'has an empathy with dwarves'. (More like enjoys the high con and bonus saves ).

I play one and DM one D&D campaign, both of which are currently on hiatus while we play a bit of Shadowrun. In both cases the Wizards are human. Another D&D game which finished recently (an experimant with multiple overlapping parties) had no wizards or elves of any type in about a dozen PCs.

I voted for human only, but I just remembered my first ever 3e PC was an elf wizard. Sorry.

No wizard or sorcerer in the current group I DM, but we have 2 bards, a blaster druid and a cleric besides the rogue, monk & fighter/barbarian, so they aren't exactly short on spell-casting.

In previous 3e/3.5 campaigns, there were some elf wizards, a human and a dwarf wizard and a half-elf sorceress.

IMHO, for a wizard/sorc in 3.5, CON tends to be much more important than DEX. It's hard to overcome is the elf -2 penalty on CON, and it certainly doesn't mix well with the puny d4 hp per level. I think that's a big reason why most players look at playing other races for casters, and especially why we tend to see a lot more dwarf wizards/sorcs than might be expected.

I voted for Sun Elf and Dwarf since while the wizard started as a sun elf then got reincarnated as a dwarf.

 

[Furry]

I have always ended up playing the caster, mostly because I really like the magic side of the fantasy (I can already swing a sword around). First campaign I played a Sun Elf wizard, and in the current campaign a Human Druid/Wizard/Mystic Theurge (and yes, I'm totally pysched about Races of the Wild).

 

[cignus_pfaccari]

Current games:

Planescape: Tinker gnome (who's got some sort of construct template on him now)

al Qadim: Grey elf (who, after a DM comment of Hiteian style, I now picture as Supreme Commander Thor in a turban)

Past games:

Birthright: Human and half-elf. Oh, and there was an elven awnshegh named Death Blossom.

I voted for Sun Elf and Dwarf since while the wizard started as a sun elf then got reincarnated as a dwarf.

Hmm... Replace the -2 Con by +2 Con, so it's +4 Con boost. Don't lose the Int bonus, don't acquire the Cha penalty, as they are mental abilities.

This is a much better deal than our Dwarf that got reincarnated as an Elf. Can you believe a frontline Fighter with Constitution 6?
