3.5
I have a player that wishes to run a character that is good at making spells that remain in an area and damage an area (such as cloud kill an wall of blades) for battlefield control, and probably more of a focus on damage.
For my game, I am generally restricting obtainable spells to only the spell list presented in the book the class comes in (meaning there would be new spells introduced in Complete Arcane that only a Wu Jen would have access to). Though if the spells wind up being mostly damage, or at least not exceptionally uber, I'd probably allow him to take spells from another book.
My initial thought is making a wizard for him, though if there is another class (like having potentially overlooked some capability of a Cleric, or maybe even give him a Sorcerer just so he has more per day, if I can find a good spell list). would work better, I'd like to know.
Mostly what I am looking for are some specialist or ACF recommendations.
Character is starting at 5th level, so just a 5 level basis to work off of would be nice.
Thank you.
