Message: <blockquote data-quote="GentleGiant" data-source="post: 1647539" data-attributes="member: 11829">Okay, I'm set to start playing in a new FR campaign beginning in early August.I've decided to play a wizard, most likely a human, but I'm sort of in a rut as to which "path" to take with this character. I'm not a big fan of the "let's only take all the big damage spells and blast the opposition to smithereens" mentality. I prefer to tinker and use some of the "lesser used" spells in creative ways (much to the annoyance of my DMs <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> ). (*Note, I'm also looking for help for another player in the campaign, look at the end of the post)Now, I think I'd like to make some kind of "themed" wizard, e.g. a Frost Mage , a Shadow Mage, a Sun Mage, a Crow/Raven Mage, a Sword Mage etc. etc..He doesn't need to be a specialist (though I'm not ruling it out), just someone who adheres to a certain theme.I'm looking for theme suggestions and also Prestige Classes that would fit those themes. Suggestions are welcome and PrC's from all books are welcome too (I have access to a lot of books through friends and, failing that, I have access to a well stocked FLGS).A little info about the campaign if that'll help with the suggestions:1st level characters.Starting place is Shadowdale (as I said, it's a FR campaign). The PC's have all grown up together. Races are limited to Humans, Half-Elf, Half-Orc and Halfling (because of similar maturity level).Stats are (high to low): 17, 17, 15, 15, 13, 11 (yes, I lucked out on that row <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />)I know of one other character concept in the group so far, a human sorcerer (see below), who should cover the "let's blast 'em" aspect of arcane magic. Rumours of what else might crop up: a Druid, a Halfling Rogue, a Paladin/Cleric (and/or). 2 players more, but I don't know anything about their plans (one is a first time RPG'er, so probably nothing fancy on her part).Okay, I'm also trying to help out a fellow player in the campaign. He wants to play a female human sorcerer and we're looking for a Prestige Class that's fitting. Spellcasting Prodigy, Bloodline of Fire (parents are from Calimshan - fugitives, settled in Shadowdale) and Spellfocus (Evocation) are the first 3 feats that he has decided upon. The rest are up for grabs, depending on a PrC (if any).So far, we've looked at Elemental Savant (lots of annoying Metamagic feat requirements, though) and Artillerist (Quintessential Sorcerer) - but more suggestions are welcome.If you haven't noticed, the theme with this character is Fire, Fire and some more Fire.</blockquote>
