03-03-04, 08:01 PM Looking for advice concerning my 2nd level Mage.

What is a good spell combination to carry for memorized spells?

I am allowed 21st level +1 bonus spells per day. Not to mention 4 Cantrips as well.

Combat style Mage

If your a pure combat mage, then just load up on attack spells and a few AC boosting spells. Of course, you might want a few other spells up your sleeves too. Sleep and color Spray are good for attacking. I also like obscuring mist - a battlefield control type spell.

At this lvl I most commonly have Mage Armor, Magic weapon (for my crossbow) and Chill Touch incase I get in melee.

One other thing, incase you don't, make use of you scribe scroll feat. It cost 12.5gp and 1exp for a 1st lvl spell and you can have many spells ready to go.

03-04-04, 05:06 AM 2nd level mages can not cast 21st level spells. It is in the book.:teach:

Seriously, make sure you have scrolls. Magic missle never fails. Mage armor and mage shield will mean that you will not get hit often, expecially at that level.

for a third level wizard you can start thinking to web, flaming sphere and magic missile...

03-04-04, 07:32 AM Dont forget ray of enfeeblement. Its a big help against enemy brusers, and will make your melee friends jobs much easier. The faster they can hack through enemies, the more time they can spend defending you. The above mentioned spells are also good. You might as well take advantage of sleep while you can, as it will quickly become worthless. At low levels, however, its very useful.

You should definately take advantage of your free scribe scroll feat. Some 1st level utility spells that I like to keep on hand are: Hold portal (this can buy you valuable time), Tenser's floating disk (more treasure), and Expeditious retreat (especially valuable at low levels, where discression is often the better part of valour), among others.

He means he has 2 first level spell slots per day, +1 bonus slot from high intelligence.

And as everyone else has stated, useyour Scribe Scroll Feat. With it, you can prepare whatever spells you want, just have a copy of each spell on a scroll.
