[QUOTE="Humanaut, post: 3322611, member: 49498"] Hey all, this summer i will be running a wizard-type through, oh shoot, is it Expedition to Castle Ravenloft? The new one... anywho, i'm familiar with the original in the last edition, but never looked the new Ravenloft. Any ideas for a build that will be fun and survivable... we'll be gaming only for 7 days (straight, we're all on vacation together: GeekFest we call it). So planning til level 20 is not what i'm looking at. We have 7 levels to work with, the only books we can use are Core, and the first 4 Compete books. That's it. DM is new to 3.5 and wants it simple. We may gain a few levels i'm thinking there is no way i'll hit 14th by the end of the week. The DM last GF gave us a level up the beginning of each day we were there, cuz it's only 1 week. Oh, and he has already nixed LM book so nothing from there either. :( We will have 4 other players who will fill various rolls: one a Cleric/ RSoP, a githzeri Monk, a halfogre Meat Shield, and an undecided guy (who we all hope does something rogueish even though there's lots of undead to not get sneak attack against). I have thought of Warlock instead of Wizard, pump up UMD and carry a boatload of useful wands, then blast everything in sight. Any and all advice and ideas are welcome... and i got months to scheme... heh heh heh... thanks [/QUOTE]
