Party wizard is a newer player (My father in law) and tends to keep wandering off by himself, and running into melee range fr touch attack spells and we're wondering what we can do to enhance his survivability. My girlfriend and I are thinking either Magus or a level of fighter and then Eldritch knight, but he has a low str score so we're not sure about either.... His stats are below what do you folks think?
