Planning New Character - Advice Needed

takeshi6

Hello.

Thinking about making a Control Wizard Alt in this game. (Already have a Human Male GWF as my Main, and a Dwarf Male GF for one Alt)

All I really know for my Character Planning is that I want him/her to follow the Master of Flame Paragon Path (Fire is what I consider to be my personal Element, tbh). Gender I can choose via a simple coin flip.

Apart from that, though, I'm drawing blanks.

So, I need advice - or rather, answers to the following questions:

• What Races would be the best options for a Control Wizard?
• What Character Origins and Deity Affiliations make sense for a Control Wizard?
• What would be good Companions for a Control Wizard?

Any advice on this matter I can get would be helpful.

Thank you.

Some additional info on myself, in case it is needed:

I'm not really an RPer - I'm more a storyteller. I can RP with other people as needed, but I really don't do it too well. What I do do well is come up with storylines - I determine things about a character, then use that to come up with a story.

That's part of why I asked about the Race/Character Origin/Deity Affiliation - makes it easier to determine the story of a character if I know some of the most logical options to choose from.

Umm... Hello? Any advice at all?

I'm no min maxer. I don't know which race is "best". I know humans get more feat points.

An elf from Myth Drannor makes sense, but so can most any other combination.

Companions is a big subject. You'll have to narrow it down some. What's you price range? Do you want the best active bonuses or summoned abilities? Much of that depends on your play style.

Best Race:
Either Tiefling with 18int 18charisma starting stats or human for the extra 3 feat points.
MOF doesn't compete with spellstorm for top damage currently.

Best deity: Whatever you want.

Best companion: Ioun Stone of xxxxxx
Cleric companion can provide healing or a tank companion for agro maybe.

Gotcha.

What would be the most fitting Home Region/Backstory Combinations the game provides for either of those options? As I said, I'm not an RPer, but more of a Storyteller - And I like telling the most believable stories I can.
