Craft wand is an extremely useful feat if you want to put a spell like knock or improved invisibility on a wand. Any spell at or below 4th level (Can be changed to a feat of your choice - Toughness?)

Skills: Max- Concentration, Spell Craft, and if you want Lore. (If craft wand taken - Put at least five points into craft weapon so you can get bones for wands). The rest are up to you. (I recommend put some into Tumble and Spot or Listen.)

Ok i got a thing about not liking human race so i dont use human, but if you wanted to make this a human then take a free feat at level 1 and i think lower dex and raise con would be the thing to do. The extra skill point per level wont make much difference as this build already has a ton of them.

Hit points max every level = 40 x 7 = 280HP (+40 if toughness taken)

Comments/improvements welcome,

Darkfire.

If I didn't know any better (and I usually don't), I'd say you overspent your attributes by 8 points. What say you?

Ariel, Ookla, RIDE! Im not so wise on the stat points and how much they cost so basically ive no idea ill try and play test it as soon as im able to get on nwn if someone who knows more about the stat allocations figures it out id be very grateful,

Start 6 + 4pts = 10 + 4 pts = 14 +4 pts = 16 = 12 pts total

Start 6 + 4pts = 10 + 4 pts = 14 +4 pts = 16 = 12 pts total

Because of their -2 adjustment, it becomes a 2 for 1 buy after 12. So, 6-12 = 6 points, 13-14 = 4 points, then 15-16= 6 points, total = 16 points. Usually most elf builds will stop with a 12 Con. That's why you won't see many Elf builds running around with EDR 9/-.

Ariel, Ookla, RIDE! ok so con should be 14 and dex 12?

Which means for human you could have dex 12 con 16 + free feat.

RIGHT! Time to create that Elven Barbarian then ... ooh how uncouth.
Someone is going to slap me really hard, because my suggestions are going to ruin some of the concept of this buid. I'd go as a dwarf and i would spread my ability points soemthing like this: STR 12 DEX 12 CON 16 WIS 18 WIS 8 CHA 6 Or keep str and dex at 10 and get 18 con too. I'd take level 20 as a fighter or rogue or bard or something else as a wizard. THis way you gain 1 more epic feat. I'd perhaps drop one epic focus and take Greater Int instead. COmbined with the other free epic feat, i could get 38 INT. YOu would gain some extra skillpoints to spend, +1 DC to all spells, a nice even number : D and 2 more spell slots at some level spell-levels. Not too huge, but still, its good.

You can slap me now!

Allow me to swing the first slap! That is one wise, but oh-so-dumb dwarf!

You listed Wisdom twice, and Intelligence nonce

PS - I think Dwarves make excellent wizards
