Leveling up discussion - Level 2

[Greebo]

You have crossed the threshold for level 2, but will require an extended rest to gain that level.

That said, you may benefit from discussing your options before you rest. Thus, this thread. :)

I am inclined to lose my power Binding Invocation of Chains but am curious as to what the others think.

It is a area of effect slow. The problem is, we usually don't need to slow multiple targets, just one and it is close burst and I have noticed I do most of my fighting from far away. SO by the time something is running, it is already wayfar away from me and I can't catch it to slow it.

I am inclined to replace it with Summoned Angel of Fire a spell that...well..summons an angel of fire as a minor action. Like a pet, except angelic and one fire. I can move it around via commands and it does aoe. I can't figure out how long it lasts but worse case scenario it's a one round aoe that doesn't cost me a standard action.

Its that or purging flame, which is DD with a 10 point fire DOT.

If we get back to town I'm going to swap out my chain armor. The protection is nice but it hurts my other stats at a level that doesn't make up for the encumberance.

Finally, I am looking at Shroud of Warning (a daily that gives us all +6 to our iniative once a day) or Wall of Light (a daily that builds a wall around the party-assuming we aren't spread out- that gives us all +1 to ac and +5 hit points).

I am debating between getting leather armor - since I currently need to be in harm's way to be most effective - or a feat that lets me "throw" my breath weapon. That would give me a ranged AoE attack to cover until I get something at later levels.

I've also toyed with the idea of getting an initiative enhancer.

So, either:

Leather armor (better protection w/o penalties)
Ranged Breath
Improved Initiative.
