>>>>>[First off do not take my name in vane (not all the ideas were mine
anyway
). Next, I would like to say that, that was a very nice and well thought out
post. However, you go on to say that 'if you don't like the rules to change
them'. Some groups may accept that....then you join a new group....they don't
accept it. Then, being the mage you are in this case, you have to make some
minor adjustments to your character. Which can be a pain in the but. Sure I
agree that it is game balance but it just doesn't sound right that ONLY mages
have essence taken off. In AD&D you can have mixed characters can you not?
Like a magic-user/fighter that can have the magic and the weapons/armor of a
fighter? So why couldn't I, a combat mage, have the same type of advantage?
It seems to be more then just a question of game balance but also what is fair.
Don't you think? I still want to hear more opinions on this.]<<<<<
