My gf is hopping in a game as an on again off again pc. She is dead set on playing a tiefling. Her race is la 1 and we are starting lvl 5. What build should i go with here. We 'play at my house and im whipped like a wagon horse. Her idea is a utility wizard. Prestige and feat suggestions please to allow her to be awesome.

Well if she's going tiefling regardless of build I would reccomend she takes the Alter Self spell as it can have some pretty high powered things for outsiders (assuming 3.5). For example there is the Dwarf Ancestor from MM4 which gets you Large size and NA +18 which alone is already good enough of a reason alone to become an Outsider wizard.

Thank you for allowing me to continue getting laid.

I'd go Lesser Tiefling (PGtF) to get rid of LA. Even if being Outsider is important, there is Otherworldly feat that gives "Outsider" type back (though there is a need to get GM approval, since RAW it's for Imaskari/Elves).


I need to make a small handbook "Generic Wizard advice for noobs".

ACF: Domain Wizard (UA), then Spontaneous Divinations (CC) at 5th level.

Feats: Uncanny Forethought (EoE) - with Spell Mastery as pre-requisite.
If retraining is allowed - Alacritous Cogitation (CM) until 9th level and then retrain it to Spell Mastery to take Uncanny Forethought (EoE) for 9th level feat. Also, don't forget: Spell Mastery can be re-trained to include new/more spels.


Items: Belt of Healing, one or two 1st-level Pearls of Power;
Metamagic Rods - Lesser Extend and Lesser Chaining (MIC).

If possible, get Aureon's Spellshard (ECS) by level 7. If it doesn't exist - Blessed Book by level 9. Note that old spellbook could be sold for cash (to buy more spells, obviously).

Somewhat questionable optimization (~20% chance of book-to-the-head): get two gauntlets (if you'd were Factotum - one cold iron, the other silvered; but that's irrelevant to Wizard) and add Wand Chamber (Ds) to each - you are always wielding two wands now. Personal suggestion: Nerveskitter and Expeditious Retreat, Swift - you can never have too much of either (note that activating wand takes the same amount of time as casting actual spell; so - immediate/swift). Shock and Awe is also good, but Wizard has no business being anywhere near opponents. If someone didn't take Spontaneous Divinations: Arrow Mind and True Casting could also be of use.


Prestige: Mage of the Arcane Order (CA), unless you know what you are doing.
There are better options, but all depend on specifics. Eidetic Wizards would want 2 levels of Geometer (CA), if page reduction is applied to their spells; Illusionists - one level of Nightmare Spinner (CM); Diviners - 4 levels of Divine Oracle; Buffers - War Weaver (HoB), and so on.


P.s. I also need to sleep more often.

Your sex life aside, also consider the Savage Aasimar and Tiefling (http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sp/20040213a). These are LA 0 versions of their respective 1 LA races that let you get most the effects of being the 1 LA versions with no LA, including the Outsider type! Enjoy!
