1st ever caster(prefer sorc) build!

[Such755]

Wizard.
Just go wizard first, I've made the mistake of making my first ever caster a Sorcerer, I had no experience at all with the spells and I was very annoyed to switch them as often as possible. Also used drgons blood twice.

Wizards are as easy to level as sorcerers and you get to experience just every spell you want as often as you want for free. Plus if you still want to make a sorcerer, TRing into one from a wizard is a huge advantage, you get +2 spell penetratin and a feat that gives +1 to all your spell DC.

My second life of this toon was a wizard, I then realized it should've been the first. Don't make that same mistake.
Making another sorc after having the wizard experience, now I know all the spells and waht they do and I don't need to even think before choosing my spells. I know what spells I'll use before I even make the guy.

Max int, the rest into con. Either human pale master or WF arch mage. Both self heal awesomely, don't bother trying to figure which one self heals better, there's no real answer for that.

For reference enhancements need tweaking a lot.
