RP & Optimization: Halfling Wizard for Curse of Strahd

[Oramac]

So my AL group is thinking about what to do for Strahd, and hit on an idea that is both really fun/funny, and probably really dumb.

We've got 5 players in the group, so we're going to have 1 Bard and 4 Halfling Divination Wizards with the Lucky Feat (once we hit 4th level). The idea is to have 8 d20's to replace rolls with, plus the Halfling racial to reroll 1's, PLUS the Lucky Feat to add 3 more d20 rerolls.

The above is pretty much set in stone. It's not changing. What I'm looking for is ideas for Backgrounds/Traits/Ideals/Flaws, and for Optimal Spells to use.

I know I kinda want to make a "pyromaniac" who loves fire and fire related stuff, but I'm open to pretty much any ideas.

Thanks!!

This is an awesome idea.

Take the Far Traveler or guild artisan background. For maximum awesomeness, make all the characters twins. I think 5 would be quadruplets? Or quintuplets? Not sure. You must all have the message cantrip.

Have Mage armor/shield for survivability, fog cloud can be fluffed as smoke, burning hands, that sort of thing. Control flames, and firebolt/create bonfire is a must. Color spray is neat, as is sleep.

Get your bard to go valor to help group survivability.
