> Don't ask how magic works, I never figured that one out so I stuck with fighting characters.
I was playing a mage. I was also the only one who understood how magic worked. The only time I did something useful was the day I was sick, and they had my character use a quarterstaff to bash someone on their head -.-
- hef19898 5y ago4th Edition isn't too bad, besides needing a BA degree for the basic rules and a Masters for magic. Not that I ever cared about magic. The setting is nice, as are some of the non-mainstream medieval cultures. It took dive, IMHO, with the start of 5th edition. Being the only one who gets the magic rules, playing a mage, should be quite power gamer move! EDIT: The most useful spells I ever encountered were those forcing NPCs to do what you want, burn NPCs or make someone super fast.

- bitexploder 5y agoI think you need a degree /in/ the game system.
- hef19898 5y agoThat! I consider myself holding a Bachelor's degree in the 4th edition combat rules and having dropped out of my masters in the sub-set of rapier-and-dagger fighting rules. I never really started to study un-armed or mounted combat. I do own copies of the, what fell, like 300 pages of magic and clerical rules. Never understood those. I think there was a time in my life when I had too much time it seems, as this was also my active kickboxing period with regular tournaments. Wouldn't miss those times!
