high-elf cantrip scales off int and is generally pretty bad (if you have high int, you’re a wizard and already have that cantrip and plenty of other options).
You don’t have to pick firebolt, though. You can pick Friends for advantage on almost every single charisma check in the game. You can pick minor illusion to distract people and make enemies move into spots you’d prefer them to be in, like if you want to push someone off a ledge.
thing is you can do half high elf get the shield and also a badass magic cantrip to set peeps on fire, also can’t be put to sleep or charmed
The dark vision is huge too.

not being able to be charmed is pretty useful in this campaign too…
