Min/Max 3.x / [3.5] Complete beginner wizard
« on: March 26, 2015, 11:26:19 PM »
Hi min/maxers,
I recently joined a 3.5 campaign (my first foray into D&D). I am looking for some help with my second character (my first died a quick but painful death). I want to roll a wizard as my party is missing an arcane caster. Party consists of cleric, fighter, ranger, and rogue. All 3.5 books are available to use, I read Treantmonks guide to being god and CantripN's guide to being batman but they left me with more questions than answers. I don't mind going super cheese but don't want to ruin the campaign for the others.
Here are the rules:
Character starts at level 3
32 point buy OR 72 point buy all stats start at 0 and cost 1
5000 starting gold
1 magic item worth 2000g or less (in addition to the 5k)
Allowed 1 flaw
All rulebooks allowed
I could use help with everything you are willing to provide. EG. Class(specialist, domain, or w/e), Race, attributes, skills, feats, etc.
BACKSTORY: (My wizards back story for any interested in his motivation.) As a child from the streets he caught the eye of the nearby royal family's recruiter. The family often took in youths of promise to serve the realm and unify the nobility and the people. During the course of his training he showed great aptitude to the arts of wizardry. He was raised along side the Rulers only son and was expected to one day become an advisor and protector to the young prince.
However, an evil necromancer seeing the prosperity the realm hatched a plan to murder the royal family and conquer the kingdom. The plan succeded but a loyal guard was able to spirit the prince away, though he was presumed dead.
The young wizard narrowly managed to escape but the fate of his charge is unknown to him. He spent the next several years traveling and learning whatever he could but with no true direction.
He will find himself teleported to the top of a mountain near a recently fought battle. Upon his arrival he will find what appears to be a small group of adventurers and a newly created magical tomb which he will recognize as a protection of his lieges birthright.
tl;dr Wizard teleported to find his friend entombed.
Thanks in advance for your advice!

I decided to come here in search of help. I mostly play MMO's but enjoy gaming in general. I'm part of a small but close knit online gaming community that focuses on team play and theorycraft. I hope to learn and maybe eventually contribute in some way. Thanks for reading.
