So, I have to level up twice and have 6k gold.
I had intended on having an oracle that maybe can't hit so hard but wade into combat and cast controlling spells and be a general pain but I'm not sure how well that is working and would like some tips.
I'm thinking I may as well push the charisma up to 18 with the level 4 ability point and probably buy a strength belt. Below is what I'm currently thinking.

I'm wondering whether I'm going to be better off
a) going all out combat everything
b) focus on casting and being able to survive in the thick of it
c) mystery option ???
The trouble I've found with casting anything but buffs is you're always playing catch up as big baddies are always quite a few levels higher than you. Although Black Tentacles which you get later with Dark Tapestry isn't based on you casting stat (?) which is kinda cool.
Also I think I'm a little behind the gold curve due to modules haha
