Ok, not quit...I have only this to say: About time!<br /><br />Ok, not quite "only," I wanted to mention that the blasting wizard was never my favorite either. In fact, my magi often subscribed to the Asimovian principle "violence is the last refuge of the incompetent." Hell, Magic Missile was best used to defeat enemy clerics in days of yore (mostly slower spells back in the day, or with a held action in 3.x).<br /><br />While I won't miss (well, not much) the high end power of the spell casters, I did feel that spells like web and grease were essential to DnD style magi. I am personally grateful to see illusions making a come back, though I have some reservations about the respective potency of summoning. I suppose I will have to see it in play before I can really judge it though.<br /><br />On a side note, I think that vestige warlocks seem a whole lot like the traditional cthulain wizard types, especially when combined with ritual casting, so that might be another way to go... oh, and familiars seem to be actually good now. Still, while there are a few issues that remain for me, I might be tempted to try out some of this stuff again at some point.Scaflochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402492810399682040noreply@blogger.com
