Taking that fighter level first really helps.I have been tempted by the half-orc barbarian/wizard concept, but our campaign uses the normal point-buy, with 28 points. The hit to Int is just too much. With your straight-buy system you can work around that. In many ways this is better than one level of fighter, as you get more HP (almost a feat-worth, as Toughness is 3 hp), more skill points (way more than Skill Focus would give, even if you invest in cross-class skills), and fast movement. And you keep all this even if you become lawful.It may seem like meta-gaming to take a metamagic feat at 1st level for a non-spellcaster, but taking Spellcasting Prodigy makes perfect sense. I barbarian with an interest in, and inclination for, wizardry, and at 2d level he decides to take it up. Most of the metamagic feats are not very useful until you get access to 2d level spells anyway.</blockquote>
