Hobo, open this up to another player so I can play.

Sorry my internets been down all day so wasn’t able to get online.

AH, if you could send me the spells you’d be willing to allow that’d be awesome.

Another question, what level will we be starting at?

I know the obvious is 1, but some campaigns start at 3 or 4 just to get going quickly.

Sorry, been busy with b-days and correcting some exams

the list is this one

http://www.filefactory.com/file/ag2f4b5/n/dndspells_zip

search the clbum you have and voila

Chawain, in case you’ve been busy, or if the spell selection seems too much to sift through, here are my suggestions for what spells to start with for a 1st Level Sorceror.

0 Level – Daze, Detect Magic, Read Magic, Resistance

1st Level – Mage Armor, Magic Missile

Daze (Creature loses next action) This is a Will Save based spell, so fighter types (which can be a huge danger to you if they get close enough) will usually have difficulty resisting. Having one extra round to make your escape, or to allow your teammate to step in and deal with the enemy up close can be a huge advantage.

Detect Magic (Detects spells and magic items) This is a core spell that every spellcaster should have.

Read Magic (Read scrolls and spellbooks) This is also a core spell that every spellcaster should have.

Resistance (Subject gains +1 on saves) You can use this on yourself or your allies, to help prepare against any type of saves you might have to make right before a battle. Very useful as a preparatory ‘buff’ spell.

Mage Armor (Give subject +4 armor bonus) This is for either you or an ally, and lasts for a full hour, so it might even stick around for more than one battle. Very useful.

Magic Missile (Automatically hits the designated target, no attack roll needed, 1d4+1 dmg) You’ll gain more missiles as you go up in levels, and an automatically successful attack that also ignores most damage protection can save the day)

If you haven’t picked your Feat yet, I’d like to recommend either Improved Initiative. It gives you a +4 to your initiative checks, which makes it more likely that you’ll go first in any combat situation. That’s an obvious tactical advantage, especially if we’re facing an enemy spellcaster. Being able to go first (or better, yet, hold your action until the enemy’s turn) can be a powerful advantage. In fact, if you wait until the enemy spellcaster begins to cast a spell, and then fire a Magic Missile at him, you can potentially disrupt his spell, thereby canceling it out completely.

Which also bring me to skills for a sorcerer. With 24 Skill points, that means you can max out 6 different Skills. I’d go for Concentration, Bluff, Intimidate, Spot, Listen & Use Magic Device, in that order of priority.

I hope that helps.

Someone should pick my spells for me since I have no ****ing clue what I’m doing.

@CrinkPipe:Heh, yeah, especially since you don’t even have to worry about that until 4th Level.

I’ll gladly help out if we make it that far, but until then, did you need help picking skills?

@Angry Hobo: Rangers get (6+Int Mod) for skills, so shouldn’t CrinkPipe/Xeph have 20 Skill Points to spend at Level 1?

@CrinkzPipe: If so, then the 5 skills I’d max out would be Move Silently, Hide, Spot, Listen, and then spend 2 points each in Climb & Balance. You’re our best choice for a point man/scout.

@Raepdog: Do you need help filling out your character as well?

@Chawin: Where did you get ‘Create Water’? Is that an option for Shadowkin? Also, you still get another 0-Level & 1st-Level spell to add to your list of known spells, and you also get 5 total 1st level spell-slots per day.

Heh, Prestidigitation. I love that spell for a ‘serious’ campaign. But I cna just imagine what you’ll be using it for in this one.

And Feather Fall is an awesome spell… just be sure not to cast it too quickly. I wouldn’t put it past AH to run that spell exactly by the book at first level.

We’ve got enough damage dealers in the group to allow me to get spells for any occasion Log in to see images!

with some luck we might start this today

yeah i guess

I could ditch Intimidate for Lock Pick if need be, I’m not that scary anyway.
