I’ve wanted to make a Wizard for a long time, but every time I set out to make a character, I get stumped by my choice of Arcane Tradition.
On the roleplay side of things, I never know which one really fits with my character, unless I design one from a specific school. This method often leads to unimaginative characters for my taste, though (Prankster Illusionist, Evil Necromancer, and Abjuration leads to Lawful Good Paladin).
What also doesn’t help is that most of the Wizards I make aren’t really specialists, so having only one Tradition for such case isn’t ideal…
On the gameplay/combat flipside, none of them really catch my eye. They all seem boring or don’t align with my character’s personality.
I’m really tired of this, so I have to resort to asking for help among more knowledgeable people, since my mindset may be flawed.
I’m looking for advice, but simply sharing your process helps me a lot. Feel free to discuss homebrew.
Thank you for your time!
