[X] - I trust mother, this must be important, and I'm kind of curious to find out how it works.
[X] Plan: The Tiniest Overlord
I'm almost tempted to vote for this, just because of the name.
Putting this here in case anyone wants another pure mage option.
[] Plan: Ultimage!
-[] - Pick both Perks! Invest early, invest often!
--[] - [Attribute] - Sharp Mind Lv.1 - A strong mind and personality are bestowed, giving the character a small immediate boost to intelligence and charisma, plus an additional boost every level. [Cost: 0 XP]
--[] - [Attribute] - Gifted Soul Lv.1 - A strong and stable soul is capable of better channeling magic without adverse side effects, giving the character a small immediate boost to magic and resistance, plus an additional boost every level. [Cost: 0 XP]
Regarding perks, there is some reason to invest now instead of later, in that the perks that give boosts every level will start snowballing earlier, and thus we'll end up with higher stats.
[X] Plan: XP Snowball
-[X] - Pick both Perks! Invest early, invest often!
--[X] - [Attribute] - Sharp Mind Lv.1 - A strong mind and personality are bestowed, giving the character a small immediate boost to intelligence and charisma, plus an additional boost every level. [Cost: 0 XP]
--[X] - [Unique] - Blessed with Ancestral Wisdom - The character receives a large immediate boost of available XP and also levels up immediately. [Cost: 0 XP]
though I'd rather pick up Mark of the Demon King after Elric's Appraisal of us instead of potentiallyletting him see its already leveled up.
Thaaaaat is a very good point. It may be an extremely good idea to NOT have a perk that labels us as prime Demon King material right before we get appraised.
For everyone voting for The Tiniest Overlord, please bear in mind that if you pick Wizardly One or any other plan that saves a perk, you can simply vote for Mark of the Demon King AFTER we've been appraised by the guy that already didn't seem to like us very much even when we were a baby.
