[QUOTE="FrogReaver, post: 7829415, member: 6795602"] My favorite wizard was one I loaded up on spells that I fought would have a chance of saving the party in a dire situation - kind of like a safety net. That wizard died fairly early on but saved the party from a full TPK in the process. So I’d recommend divination because my goal wouldn’t be to do damage - but I would make sure to have something like magic missile just Incase I needed to. After that I focus on spells that enable me turn the tides in hard battles. For low level spells silent image and fog cloud are good options for this. Sleep is amazing here as well. After I feel like I have spells that give me a chance to turn a hard combat I then take rituals. Find familiar is incredibly good. Identify and detect magic can both be great. Unseen servant can sometimes be used to trigger traps. In short - I’d focus on being the safety net and finding useful out of combat stuff to do. Of course there’s many ways to play a wizard but I think you are looking for inspiration. To make the wizard more well rounded I really like variant human + healer feat (which also furthers my goal of preventing a tpk/ pc death) [/QUOTE]
