So as I was making my character (was just going to be a Wu-Jen) my dm sprung on me the events that will be taking place in the campaign and a caveat that each character starts at lvl 2 crossclassed (lvl1/lvl1). Now at this, I started to build my character as a Wu-Jen/Warlock with Eldritch Theurge in mind. But as I started making the character, I had really started to debate if I should instead do a Wu-Jen/Shadowcaster with Noctomancer in mind, a Wu-Jen/Binder with Anima Mage in mind (though I do have a few issues alignment wise with this, as my significant other is playing a Pallidan (of freedom)/Ranger), and lastly I was thinking of Wu-Jen/Truespeaker with the goals of prestiging into Geometer.
The idea of the character is going to be someone who focuses on passive defense/offense, pacifistic ends, is about tapping in the secrets of magic, and I have some unhealthy obsession with my spellbook (which I am going to make an actual physical copy of to keep my characters spells learned in it, including whichever her off class spell/spell like abilities are). My only problem with the Eldritch Theurge path is I don't know if I want the inhuman blood feel to the character, but it is still an option. I am not trying to power build, so that isn't even in mind (though it might be something I should have in mind unfortunately due to the fact that it will be 3 characters, each with 2 classes, going against de-evolved dragons trying to destroy a walled city which is one of the last refuges of humanity). Another thing that I am trying to keep in mind is I am trying to keep my character down to a max of 3 books not counting the PH (currently I am using the Complete Mage and Complete Arcane, though if I go with the others, obviously I will be adding Tome of Magic), plus I am avoiding anything that grants draconic blood/draconic feel to the character.
