Would Tuesday evening work for everyone?

Violist, I see two problems with your character sheet. You appear to have spent 10 skill points too many, and the +1 magical from your armor should be included in its armor bonus rather than listed separately as a misc bonus. Incidentally, this means it doesn't count towards touch attacks, so your touch AC should be 13.

That's it for the actual rules violations, now for some other issues. Why studded leather instead of a chain shirt? The only reason to prefer the leather is the higher max dex, and your dex isn't high enough to be affected by that yet. If you're planning for the long term and thinking about when you'll have gloves of dex +6, just make the chain shirt out of mithril (+2 max dex) and it still won't affect you. The mithril chain shirt actually costs 75 gp less than +1 studded leather, gives the same protection now, and will cost less to upgrade in the future. If a max dex of +4 doesn't bother you, then 75 more gp can get you another +1 AC with a normal +1 chain shirt.

You're wielding a one-handed weapon, and only one of them. You should get something for your other hand, like a shield. If you're worried about keeping a hand free for spells with somatic components, keep in mind that a shield can be loosed as a free action combined with movement. If you think you'll be doing a lot of casting and then moving, just get a buckler. If you can wield a weapon in that hand, you can certainly use it for somatic spell components.
