Don't forget to occasionally "run out of spells," so long as doing so would be 1) funny and 2) not actively life-threatening, if a bit stupid.

Party: "Come on, Korg the Magical! Just trip him!"
Korg the Magical: "I can't! I didn't prepare Trip today!"

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!

I believe consensus says that Gandalf isn't a wizard, but rather an outsider with a collection of SLA's.

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.

Only a very poor stick would be an M component. The F version is only 5 gp.

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.

Or he just disdains the use of items. Those are for weaklings whose own magic isn't up to the task.

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.
