D&D 3e/3.5e/d20The forum for conversations specifically related to the rules and procedures of Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition, 3.5 Edition, or any fantasy game using the d20 system or a variant thereof (commercially published or not).
Survival skill: endure elements!
Successful tracking attempt: Find the path! You say it's not a wizard spell? Not for you, maybe! I took Extra Spell, suckas!
Bull's Strength: flex your muscles.
Bear's Endurance: Take off your shirt and flex your muscles.
Gentlefolk, learn from Zaq's example, and his suffering. Remember, seven out of eleven players who use truenamer lose their ability to taste ice cream.
When you ask a question, and I respond with something about the Truenamer, it might be because I think it's the best answer. More likely, though, is that I'm saying it because no one else will.
Well Annoying goes beyond your build...you need to Role Play it.... have your Barbarian/Wizard constantly be ashamed of himself. Every time he casts a spell he should look like a teen age boy who's mom just caught him wearing a pair of nylons and eye shadow.

Just want to throw out there that you shouldn't have a sword. I mean, what wizard uses a sword? Get a good solid oaken staff. Everyone knows that wizards use staves, you know! And pointy hats!

So, regarding the Spellbook. I would suggest you keep a book and write in it. Just make sure you never use the skillpoints on Literacy. Just scribble, doodle, make pretty geometric shapes. Maybe say you know enough letters to sign your name. Write "Thogz buk, stai owt!" on the cover. With any luck, some rival wizard will steal your book and go mad trying to decipher it.

Or worse, the wizard learns to hit things really hard with a stick! That's the most dangerous spell evar!

Better yet, hire a real Wizard to fill your book with magicky stuff (really, Explosive Runes). Anyone who tries to read your book gets a facefull of boom.

Until you forget what this bookish thing is and try to use if for toilet paper

I don't think that, err... "defaecing" the runes triggers them. And seeing as you're illiterate, you won't accidentally use them for reading material while you're tending to your, ah, needs.

Everybody needs something to read while attending to business...or at least pretty pictures to look at

Or he just disdains the use of items. Those are for weaklings whose own magic isn't up to the task.
@Merlin: A companion with Deceptive Spell?
Hm, I'm starting to think that this guy should be under 10 in his mental stats. Not for stupidity - it's just to ensure that he couldn't cast a real cantrip even if he wanted to.
Arcane lock: material component, acid. Close and lock the door, then rust the handle in place with a very small amount of acid.
Time stop: full attack.
Beast shape: act like an animal.
Color spray or prismatic spray: throw multicolored sand in your opponent's face.
