[QUOTE="Ovarwa, post: 7154061, member: 75153"] Hi, He's as absolutely right as you want him to be. If you think it's wrong to read the MM, then it's wrong. Me, I think it's great that you looked through the MM and tried to optimize. Capable characters are usually better characters. Players who know the rules are better players. Besides, it's what a real wizard would do. You know, read books about his likely enemies. But that's just me. I am old and wise. :) No, it's not the same at all. 4e is the most different D&D edition. I deleted your comments about the various spells, because a detailed analysis of which one is best is a) redundant, because there are two great 5e wizard guides, and b) unhelpful, because as a wizard, unlike a sorcerer, you can learn many spells and then try them, to see what works for you in your specific campaign. For me, the key to being a wizard is understanding that you can rewrite your character every day by choosing different spells. (Also true for clerics and druids but to a lesser extent because they don't have as many awesome spells.) What about finding a familiar who wants to be with you? :)/10 Anyway, Ken [/QUOTE]
