Exqueeze me? Maybe in your games you're mage heavy, but that doesn't make
it true for the rest of us. Some of us do play things other than mages.
Some examples from my past: the rigger surveillance/espionage expert, the
physical adept Sinanju assassin, the biotech/biogenetic researcher who had
herself turned into a "bio-samurai" to hunt down the terrorists who raped
her (she was neat, actually, and allergic to the metals used in cyber-
neural linkages so the GM allowed me to take cultured biotech instead...
ever see an Elf with a Charisma of 3?:). In all, to date, I have played
exactly /one/ full mage, and she was a Snake shaman (combat spells? You
gotta be kidding).
