This is why I play mundane characters. I don't play for the power trip.

[Corsair5]

You're a NINJA, man. You don't NEED megapowers.
 

[Paladin0707077]

Yeah, can't be used in battle, and it requires 30 minutes of character time to work. The more I do it, the fast I can cast it, at DMs descression

[Swift]

Paladin0707077, ok, I'll accept that. Now the one last thing that needs to be addressed is your spell list. For a multiclassed character, you have a bit too many spells. You can either ditch the sneaking ability so that you can keep your spells, or remove one spell you don't need.

Corsair, have you changed your arcane missiles spell yet?

[Corsair5]

I changed the class of my guy into something a little more inspired. And before you say being able to summon the powers of fire is unfair, well, the spells don't tap into mana. They tap into his health. So he can kill himself with spells.  

[Ignus_Draconus]

and make him very vulnerable to other people's attacks

[Swift]

It's comments like that Corsair that tells me you don't quite understand what an overpowered character is. There is nothing wrong with being able to summon fire. It's how you *use* those powers and whether there are any restrictions that determine what's acceptable and what isn't. For instance, if your flame ability is capable of wiping out an entire army in an instant, and there's no way to escape that sort of fate, then yes, it's unacceptable. Your character is fine, and I'll accept it.

[Corsair5]

Technically, my guy COULD do that now, but he would be consumed, and so would everyone within about a hundred meters from him.

And, just to make it clear, Shaper is a subset of Mage. My guy CANNOT use Arcane, Wind, Water, or Earth spells. So no teleportation, flying, feather fall, Summon Cheese...etc. Just so you know.  

[Paladin0707077]

Hmmm...wasn't Wizard the "General-trained" magic class of QFG and Magician / Sorcerer the "Specialized" categories? So wouldn't Shaper be a subset of the Wizard category?

OK, Stealth's gone. Only did that to coincide with his history anyway. We can say the Hero was too dazed to notice his clumsy attempts to follow.

[Swift]

Either that, or your character trailed him with teleport.

[Paladin0707077]

Yeah, that works, too.

So, when's next game? Friday at 8, was it?

[Swift]

For me, it's always been Saturday morning, 10am, GMT +8, so it'll definitely be a Friday night for you but whether it's at 8pm or not would depend on your time zone. What I'll do is to make an announcement in the forums 1/2 hr before it begins.

[Corsair5]

...Wizard, Mage, same thing. I always considered Mage/Magic User to be what you are before WIT pronounces you a Wizard. Since my guy chose to, instead of furthering his knowledge along the more conventional path, he devoted himself to controlling a single element. Hmm..this sounds pretty cool..I think I might write up a little sidestory about this.

[Ignus_Draconus]

If you were following someone with magic, and the other guy knew enough about magic, couldn't they track you by the spells that you cast?

[Swift]

Hey guys, I need a favour. I don't think I can get this transcript edited for posting in time. Could one of you edit and post it for me? Thanks.
