Frail Wizards are Problematic...

[@apocolototh1948]

always remember when playing barbarian: wizardrobe and staff are viable clothes for you , and a fun suprise for enemies

[@EverSoKnightly]

Absolute genius.

[@markermage]

If enemies aren't fooled by the robe and staff, then perhaps actually using a book to cast some magic might help. In 5e, you only need 13 Wisdom or Intelligence to qualify for the Ritual Caster feat, which results in you getting a book that you can use for collecting spells that you can cast (as rituals). Also, I've now got the mental image of a barbarian ritual casting Alarm, but instead of magically producing the sound of a hand bell, it's the barbarian suddenly screaming.

[@nairda55555]

This reminds me of a story a friend told where he was part of a group of viking barbarians, and they were going to raid a monastery for loot as part of their invasion campaign. Only when they encountered a bunch of the monks and old men in prayers, were suddenly surprised when the old men squared up, took their staffs, and started attacking them! Running along walls and shit. It turns out, in the setting, monks are also *monks* .

[@dreamwolf7302]

@@markermage I ran a pure fighter build, but my fighter cast spells using magic items made by the artificer in the party. We would lure enemies close to him thinking he was a soft and squishy wizard or sorcerer. Only for him to open his cloak to reveal platemail and a mace.

if you think they are squishy now remember in 2nd edition it was 1d4 and thats it

I don't understand how yalls wizards keep dying. Just stay back and prevent the enemy from doing anything. Also shield.

[@deadbeat4542]

Clearly they have never heard of mage armor, also take two levels into fighter, just do it, don’t ask why

I don't get it either but they are dropping like flies.

[@EvelynNdenial]

@@deadbeat4542 cleric not fighter. the action surge is fun but you should only need one spell per encounter. cleric gives you lvl 1 abilities and armor and healing and guidance and bless.

[@Silungar]

No better feeling than to armor dip for 26 AC at level 2, only to get critted by a Goblin with a shortbow from the other side of the map and die instantly

[@bananabanana484]

Are you a Warforged with plate armor + shield + shield spell? That’s the only combo I can of that accomplishes that at level 2 with at least 1 level in wizard

[@Silungar]

@@bananabanana484Warforged or Forge Domain Cleric as your armor dip. Come to think of it, you can probably combine both of these for 27...

[@blizzardthewizardlizard]

I play a lizard man wizard with AC 20, high dex with shield(lizardmen can craft shields from fallen enemies and have no problem lore wise with using humans), and always prepped shield spell for an emergency 25AC when I need it. Really helps you get through the early levels.

This is why I do what I can a "sponge wizard* where I focus primary on health with some attention to magic. Turning myself into effectively a giant magic rock.

[@thenthson]

Why am i imagining your character putting on a belt of giant strength growing shoulder checking the barbarian aside saying step aside I got this then punching out the dragon that has been slaughtering the village of the day.

[@glyphdragonix]

How can a wizard be THIS weak. They have giant books they carry around and those are heavy.

[@paperdollwizard]

Ha! Too funny. 😂

[@the_epipan]

Don't cry like a baby, it's a fair price to pay for potentially unlimited access to every spell in existence. I love Wizards. You just have to compensate in Constitution and Dexterity. It is not necessary to invest so much in Intelligence from the beginning, with only 16 at the beginning it is already too much. According to the rules of D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder 1e you gain 1 point for one of your basic characteristics every 4 levels... so starting at level 1 with 15 Intelligence at level 20 you could put your Intelligence at 19 and you would have access up to spells of level 9 (maximum), and from level 16 (raising your Intelligence to 18) you would access those of level 8. That is good/OP enough. All this without taking into account creating or finding magical objects that raise your basic characteristics, which in the systems I mentioned can raise a characteristic up to a maximum of +6. There is little point in starting at level 1 with 20 Intelligence and reaching 24 at level 20.

[@Grabnok]

I like that long handle sword the fighter had. There weapons like that?

[@MissIndecision]

Thank you! I don't think there's really any swords that have such long handles as the one I drew. A close comparison could be a Vietnamese trường đao, which is more of a cleaver than a traditional long sword.

[@Merilirem]

@@MissIndecision I thought it was some kind of Swordstaff myself. Though the handle isn't long enough from what I know of them. Like its a shortened swordstaff.

Yeah don't play casters, they suck! Human fighter is the way to go and do remember to use board and plank for best damage. Also don't go taking any feats, +2str always is the best.

SOME feats are worth it. Elven Accuracy lets you roll 3 dice any time you have advantage. Optimize it right, and in high level games you're landing a crit almost every turn.
