A long time campaign I'm a PC in just restarted at level one... This time around, I wanted to play an archer-type character... After some thought, and a little bias towards spellcasting, I decided on Wizard as my base class... I'd like to keep it Wizard throughout to maximize spellcasting, even though the feats will suffer...
We've already began playing... In fact, the party is second level... The abilities that cannot be charged are thus:
Male Grey Elf
Wiz 2 (Conjurer [might change to Transmuter])
Stats: (32 point buy)
Str 6
Dex 20
Con 10
Int 18
Wis 10
Cha 8
Familiar:
Falcon (grants Precise Shot)
Feats:
Point Blank Shot
What I'm really looking for is first level spells for now, and higher level spells for the future... I've searched all the books I have, and I don't see any spells directly related to archery (besides the poor excuse for a spell: Flame Arrow)... I'm not aiming for Arcane Archer... He'll just cast GMW on his bow and 50 arrows every day...
I'm also wondering about feats... Is Rapid Shot worth it?... And as I've never played a Wizard before (I'm more of a Sorcerer type), what are the best item creation and metamagic feats?... I'm leaning towards craft arms and armor as well as craft wand...
And last but not least, are there any prestige classes I should know about?... I'm looking for a class that gives +1 Spellcasting Ability each level (or almost each level), not a warrior class... The Incantrix looks interesting as it allows for quick metamagic for extended GMW'd bow/arrows...
Any other comments would be appreciated...
