Long time no play. I'm looking for Wizard builds that use 3.5 rules and are restricted to Core +Races/Completes (including weirdos like Complete Mage) and Spell Compendium. This will be for some sample characters for a potential campaign. As a result, I'd like the progressions to be something that a 1st level Wizard character will be able to use to plan what feats/spells/gear/stats/etc they should be shooting for at levels 1-3-6-9-12-15-18-20.
Things like your first feat should be X from Book Y. You should choose <insert spells here> at level one, then chose <these spells> at levels X,Y,Z.
I've been thinking about the Focused Specialist from Complete Mage and specializing in Conjuration, with Evocation, Enchantment, and Necromancy as banned schools. First level spells being things like Color Spray, Grease, and Lesser Orb of X. Looking forward to spells like Cloud of Bewilderment, Glitterdust, Web, Sleet Storm, Stinking Cloud, Evard's Black Tentacles, Solid Fog etc...
I will probably be looking for other fairly archetypal progressions in the coming days, so if I should make a single thread, please let me know (I'm starting off with the character_I_ would like to play here.)
Thank you all in advance.
