Egin: you can take the first 16 lvls in wiz if you like. Just save your skillpoints to dump into use magic device and tumble. You'll get to 9th lvl spells at lvl 17 wiz. That'll be lvl 21 if you take 4 rogue lvls too. I find it makes little difference in the NWN official campaign where you'll just get to lvl 17 by the end anyway. Mixing in a rogue lvl at lvl 9-10 will grant you the monk robes of the dark moon,(use magic device) which give a permanentt haste effect and are purchasable from chapter 2 onward. They have a very good effect on a mage and will definately keep you alive longer.
If you have HotU then you can export this char into the campaign there to experience the full power of a high level wizard. Just add the remaining 3 rogue lvls after lvl 17
From my personal experiences, this kicks bum-hole. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif" alt="" />
