I wont to build a big, clumsy wizard, ostracized, and possibly a little bitter. The idea is only just taking shape and wanted your thoughts
The two races I am looking at are a below and with possible builds.
Goliath (14+2/8/15+1/15/8/10)
Loxodon (14/8/15+2/15/8+1/10)
He wouldn't be inherently evil but could harbor a dark spot that could grow. (can i track this? assign points on a scale myself based on what he is doing? Would that be tedious or intriguing?)
For the school i was thinking Necromancy as a possible reason for the ostracized status, but Im open to other schools (perhaps ostracized because he was clumsy in the library or something), particularly because i don't want him to be a hardcore summoner of armies, that isnt his style.
So regarding this wizardly aspect what are your thoughts on build/school/path etc?
One other thing im curious about is whether i can find a way to utilize that large strength score without multiclassing. Should i carry a weapon without proficiency just to bring it out randomly to strike at enemies if they close to melee? As a goliath i could see it being part of his culture to always carry his this weapon even if it doesn't follow his career path.
Please weigh in with your thoughts. I know the races offer nothing for a wizard but i want to create this character with this big clumsy aspect yet highly intelligent our of character for their race.
