TACTICS

Before Combat The wizard casts darkvision, endure elements, mage armor, nondetection, resist energy (electricity, fire), see invisibility, and spell turning.

During Combat The wizard uses tactics specific to his quarry, choosing spells with saving throws that target his prey’s weakest defenses. When facing a target he knows little about, he casts greater invisibility and then enlarged black tentacles to give him time to find the perfect spell. Against single targets, he casts disintegrate, enlarged maximized scorching ray, or maximized magic missile. He uses telekinesis to hurl boulders if the kill is supposed to look like an accident.
