01-06-05, 10:31 AM I've mentioned a bit of this in another post, but never really gave details.

We have a player, who could make a troll barbarian and be killed at first level... he just either has bad luck or just can't build a character (I'm wagering both).

Well for the next starting campaign, I've decided to try to help out.

I had him roll up stats, he rolled 18, 18, 16, 15, 14, 12.

I wish I rolled it for mine! lol.

Anyway, he wants to play a gnome wizard, dabbling in prestige classes but not loosing his caster level and spells.

Now I originally thought maybe warmage, but he wants something where he's not limited spell selection wise.

I was also considering Elemental Savant, but that looses a bit in spell casting...

Any ideas or builds that anyone have found successful?

I was thinking of putting his rolls as such:

Gnome
Str 14 (12)
Dex 16
Con 18 (20)
Int 18
Wis 15
Cha 12

Other than starting Wizard, the rest is up in the air...

1 Wiz1 Familiar Feat
2 Wiz2
3 Wiz3 Feat
4 Wiz4
5 Wiz5
6 ? Feat
7 ?
8 ?
9 ? Feat
10 ?
11 ?
12 ? Feat
13 ?
14 ?
15 ? Feat
16 ?
17 ?
18 ? Feat
19 ?
20 ?

EVerything else is up in the air.... ideas?
