Rush Creation of a Wizard


Advice


I've been playing in PF for a while now, and found out on very short notice that there is a PFS game near me. So, with very little time I'm trying to make a first level enhancement wizard to play. Now, I know the rules well, but I only made a 9th level character before in a very unorthodox table, and obviously not PFS. So, I need help with rushing this on paper, especially with spells, equipment and encumbrance (that were mostly ignored in my group), and PFS stuff.
I've been thinking of this build
human wizard(enhancement transmuter, opposed divination and enchantment)
str 7+1(transmuter)
dex 14
con 14
int 18+2(human)
wis 11
cha 7

traits: (can I choose any without buying ultimate campaign first?)
reactionary
?
As for the feats, I need to choose spells first in order to make my mind. I don't have much time, and don't own any books yet, so options that can be chosen without owning a book are preferred (same with spells), and if it's from an additional resource please say which one in case I have the time to buy it.

If you're in that big a hurry, you might be best off playing a pregen, e.g. the wizard, arcanist, or one of the occult classes. The rewards you get from playing the adventure (e.g. gold and XP) can be transferred over to your real PC when you have a bit more time to develop him.


I know, but I think I might make it. At the moment I'm looking at where things I want are and adding the books to my cart. Maybe it's just hubris :)

The basic selection of traits come from the character traits web enhancement and the Pathfinder Society Roleplaying Guild Guide.


Oh, that makes sense. That's one solved problem.


You are right, I'll just play a pregenerated wizard. I'd still take all the advice I could get, for when I'll build my character after the scenario.

Google "Treantmonk's Guide to Pathfinder Wizards: Being a God"

Probably the best source I found. Wizards are not all magic missles and fireballs. This guide shares some good battlefield control stratagies.

Good luck!
