I just had an encounter where two of my players was fighting a wizard of almost equal power to one of them. Both players had plenty of reflex saves and evasion feat. I almost killed one of them with magic missiles and Tasha's Uncontrollable Hideous Laughter, before the other came to the rescue and then the wiz just blew spells at thin air.

I think I have to make a top tuned Thief catcher Wizard as my next Player Character. I have pretty much stayed clear of playing wizards, the last I played was a Gnome illusionist/fighter in AD&D.
That is why I come to you in search of inspiration. What am I to do to make such a character?

I figured he should go for Enchantment and Divination and then boost the DC of the spells, but how do I get around the need for an outrageously good Spot skill?

I think it may be fun to develop a new PrC for this kind of character.

This is more the forum for the flavour and such, not mechanical powers...

But when it comes to mech. powers, you'd just need True Seeing... I think.. Try not use spells that needs ref to save, but rather will or fort...

But you want CD board help as well?
