1 wizard level dip

[Soothing Starlight]

So question. Is it a smart idea to grab 1 level of wizard for learning from scrolls and than grab the rest into either sorcerer or warlock?

If you have decent int, it's worth.
If you hard-dump int you'll be able to memorize 1 spell, which prolly isn't worth.

Wizard=INT based
Socerer and warlock both are Charisma based

so no it's not worth it to combine.

You're not understanding what OP is saying, what the intention behind the dip is.

Yes, it is smart idea.

spells remembered via wizard use int for dc and attack roll. there are however a lot of spells where these dont matter such as shield, cloud of daggers, summons, etc

ah so far i recall you can't learn higher level spells on a level 1 wizard.
also way wast a single level on it you already have only 12 levels.

I think you can learn spells from scrolls if you have a slot to cast them, regardless of if you have a high enough *wizard* slot.

Alternatively, if you cant, respec into 11 wizard, learn all scrolls, respec to your normal class with 1 level in wizard left, and you still get the spellbook and every spell you learned from scrolls.

No.
Going full wizard is better then playing those two inferior classes.
Cleric, druids and wizards are the only classes worth playing.

No, because scrolls are massively plentiful and you can steal truckloads more on top of that.

Since metamagic is so strong, and you can use metamagic on scrolls, you may as well go full or mostly Sorc.

Sorc6/Wlk3/Wiz3 or Sorc3/Wlk3/Wiz3/Rge3.

Wlk will fuel sorcery points over short rests, wiz will give spell slots and rge extra action. Thief is optional if you want to get at least one feat.

caster classes going pure yields better results since lvl is capped in this game, unless you are doing some roleplay which is fun for you, i would recommend multiclassing spell casters.

ok did a quick re roll on gale 1 lvl wizard 5 levels sorcerer (14 int,17 cha) and he was able to learn melfs acid arrow and fireball from scrolls and i got the conclusions here

1: you can learn any spell from scrolls you have the spell slots for
2: you still have to prepare any spells you learn from scrolls so you dont have them all available
3: any spell you learn from scrolls uses the wizards casting stat (int) for damage and saves
4: you can metamagic wizard spells learned from scrolls

At the point where a dip would be worth, you really don't wanna use your head slot for that.

bassically 1 level dip in wizard gives you an extra 4 spells to have availabe per day
