My friends are starting a campaign this week, 3rd edition rules. I have decided to be a mage as the others are a psion, ranger, fighter, paladin and cleric. (not totally sure but they had no magic users) So I am probably going to choose elf, so what abilities and spells do you suggest for me to take? I have 18 int, 17 wis, 17 dex, 15 con 10 cha and 10 str. (not official yet) The reason I am asking is because I have not totally read the entire players handbook, nor the 3rd ed ones. So any help would be appreciated.

Good choice there Lilarcor, 3rd edition is as good as they come in Dungeons and Dragons, so here's your answer. I'd say you'd better get a high dexterity, intelligence, and constitution so you have a good chance of casting spells, good health, and are able to gain more spells as you go up more levels. I've been playing 3rd edition for 2 years and I still don't completely understand everything, so don't worry about it.

Have fun dude.

With being an Elf, I have 18 int, 18 con, 11 str, 10 cha, 17 wis and 17 dex. but thanks.

<font color="#ffccff">How the heck did an elf get an 18 con?
Edit: with all those 18's and 17's your character is a tad ubberish in my opinion. </font></font>

Hell, that's nothing Magik. In 3rd edition, a wizard (or any character's abilities for that matter) can go up as high as 50 :D

yeah a VERY HIGH LEVEL character...but It was not stated that they were starting high level characters, so I assumed a 1st level and there is no way in 3rd edition for those stats to be legit. (without having a munchkin type DM)</font>

It doesn't have to be a very high level character, the character just needs a lot of ability points that they could easily obtain in many ways ;)

the 3rd edition rule is strange, if you are a mage you can still pump up his strenght until his strenght unstrenght the barbarian.

oh wait, on reflecting, it has 18 dex and 17 con... Well I don't have my sheet now, but I know the numbers are pretty correct. plus theres a thing called luck with the dice.
