Are there any spots left? If so can I reserve a level 11 spot? Thinking about doing a warlock.

Since I've never run a wizard before, roughly how many spells should I have in a spellbook, starting out? I was thinking generalist focus, but I could easily focus on evocation or transmutation.

In any case it would be a battle of critical thinking and I refuse to fight an unarmed individual.

Quote
A wizard begins play with a spellbook containing all 0-level wizard spells (except those from her prohibited school or schools, if any; see School Specialization, below) plus three 1st-level spells of your choice. For each point of Intelligence bonus the wizard has, the spellbook holds one additional 1st-level spell of your choice. At each new wizard level, she gains two new spells of any spell level or levels that she can cast (based on her new wizard level) for her spellbook.

Therefore, all 0th level spells, three+Int mod 1st spells, and 20 spells of any level you can cast.

Also, don't focus on Evocation. It's... not exactly the best school. If you're going to play a wizard, I'd recommend giving this a gander.

You inquire whether the management of Celestia has changed since you last went there.

Terribly sorry for being of topic... but I just couldn't resist:

Therefore, all 0th level spells, three+Int mod 1st spells, and 20 spells of any level you can cast.
That's not strictly the case; you can't, for example, learn 20 6th level spells and not learn any 2nd through 5th.A more specific description of what a 11th level wizard gets would be:

-All the cantrips.
-5+INT mod 1st level spells (3+INT from level 1, plus 2 from level 2)
-4 2nd level spells (gained at levels 3 and 4)
-4 3rd level spells (gained at levels 5 and 6)
-4 4th level spells (gained at levels 7 and 8)
-4 5th level spells (gained at levels 9 and 10)
-2 6th level spells (gained at level 11)

Plus any spells that you buy as scrolls and scribe over.

For actual spell choices, here's my top 3 list for each level:

0th: Detect Magic, Prestidigitation, Daze
1st: Grease, Charm Person, Chill Touch
2nd: Glitterdust, Minor Image, Command Undead
3rd: Illusory Script, Secret Page, Shrink Item
4th: Greater Invisibility, Polymorph, Scrying
5th: Lesser Planar Binding, Magic Jar, Telekinesis
6th: Disintegrate, Contingency, Wall of Iron

Feel free to pick whatever, but these spells are vetted as being Quite Goodtm if you don't know what to get.

I have some questions about the level 15.  Does the prohibition on supernatural abilities include prestige classes?  I can't be a Barbarian/Bear Warrior?  Also, is the 2 class limit a permanent limit or can I take a third class as soon as I hit 16?

Barbarian/Bear Warrior/Warshaper, dire bear barbarian with 45 strength, stretchy arms, fast healing, and other complete bullshit, gg

Permanent 2class, no Su/Sp limit. It's precisely to try force the already-relatively-powerful player to jump through hoops to get power they could usually get by being a fighter/barbarian/scout/ranger :P

Yes, it does include prestige classes.

If you don't like the restrictions, I advise you convert your lv15 slot to a (less) restricted lv11 slot.

Do we roll our own hit die?

Do you trust yourself with you rolling your own hit-dice? o_o

If not, take average rolls or ask me to roll it. :P

I do. I don't know if you do.

But it sounds like you do, so I did roll.
almost exclusively 1s and 2s! Yay!

I'll post my Goliath Barbarian sheet here as well as in my reserve post. I rolled the honorific name that everyone knows him by. I think it fits. His full name is in the description box near the bottom because it's too long for normal use (as it's suppose to be).

I used Champion of Gwynharwyf from BoED, Mountain Rage (ACF) from RoS, Spell Sense (ACF) from CM, and a dwarven double spear from RoS.

Okay, how are the character sheets going?

I know Fool has his Goliath Barbarian sheet here. Anyone else?
