[QUOTE="Salthorae, post: 7829421, member: 1095"] If you're going to play it in Descent, I would recommend Diviner for their portent ability so you can probably force your enemies to fail their saves. Diviner has some fo the best abilities, especially Portant and Expert Divination. Getting spell slots back for free is nice. I'd recommend checking out Treantmonk's guide to the diviner just for the spell selection recommendations if nothing else. He starts out with 1 level of Knowledge cleric which isn't required but he goes spell level by spell level and explains his reasoning on the spells which is pretty cool. You can find the level 1-4 build [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7C96QaIgAY&feature=youtu.be']here[/URL] [USER=58197]@Dausuul[/USER] has recommended some great feats. Partly depends on your stats and how you're doing those. If you roll and get an odd Con score, then Resilient is a great choice. Warcaster if you have an even Con score, it's not the best use of Warcaster, but advantage on Concentration saves from damage is always great. At lower levels its probably better than being proficient from a statistical stand point. I like Human, it's really hard to say no to a bonus feat. I also love doubling down on my casters with Magic Initiate. For Wizard that would let you start with 5 cantrips and have another ritual spell know for your book and get one free casting of it per day. I'd recommend Detect Magic. You can then cast it once per long rest as a standard action without burning a spell slot, and it's in your spellbook so if you need it again later you can ritual cast it. Magic initiate would also put you 1 cantrip ahead of the High Elf as well at the cost of some weapon proficiencies (you should not be in combat as a Diviner anyway) and a +1 to dex. EDIT: the other feat I meant to mention is Lucky which is always great for a Diviner because it works with/in addition to Portent. You can make more people fail saves more often. [/QUOTE]
