[QUOTE="lolstrider7, post: 5902118, member: 6693655"] Absolutely, which was the point I was making- that core-only, Druids tend to trump wizards at levels < 13th-ish. My bad on the Shapechange, btw. As for your character: Parameters: 1) Um... you have very little damage or killing capabilities. Your best bet is to Alter Self into a Troglodyte, haste yourself, and start hacking away with True Strike while they are blinded/nauseated. 2) You could last quite a while... you are a specialist wizard. You have a top-notch array of BFC and defensive spells. 3) You have Alter Self. 'Nuff said. In all seriousness though, with Alter Self, Charm Person, Shrink Object/Dispel Magic, and Prestidigitation, you should be pretty good in this department. 4) [MENTION=4078]Jack[/MENTION] Smith, this is actually his best attribute. Haste, Phantom Steed, Enlarge Person, Protection from Evil.. and the standard BFC spells to divide and conquer enemies. He's a top-notch party-oriented character. TL;DR A very solid, GOD-type wizard, built around playing with a party. Biggest flaws are a lack of damage-dealing spells, even Summon Monster X and the like. I'm kind of curious why you didn't ban Evocation and didn't take a single Evocation Spell. I think that Ray of Enfeeblement, Summon Monster I, or even Magic Missile/Burning Hands would help a lot more than Mount. I'll cough up a druid or cleric sometime tomorrow... It's 2 AM right now and I'm in no condition to build characters. [/QUOTE]
