True, when I heard Dragonsoul's advice, my familiar was squeaking in disgustAkytalusia said:sorry dragonsoul, but a staff doubles as a walking stick, and as an experienced nomad, i can say without reserve that you're going to appreciate that benefit if you're the adventuring type, and that benefit will outweigh the slight edge possessed by wands. however, you make a fair general use point for more homebody types.
That is why he's Paul.Proverbial Jon said:Wow, Paul... that beard. It just works on you.
Great wizards is what made avalon great, and those wizards took risks. Have you ever fought a card using wizards, they are hard to predict and will very quickly fatigue you if your not careful. I am actually a battle mage and I have seen enough combat to tell you that hat is not useful for anything more then making it easier to set your hair and by extension beard on fire. You probably don't even pay your thrull minions. Also healing potions are a dim a dozen.DVS BSTrD said:Maintaining traditions are what made Avalon great! I bet you're one of those Bleeding scroll divination types who think we should give the illegal Wiccan immigrants free healing potions!nuba km said:well I am just going to go and say that having a large hat just makes you more of a target on the battlefield, infact I normally wear a helmet instead of a hat. it is pointless to follow a tradition unless there is a good reason behind it, it is also wizards like you who ask 'wand or staff' why not go for a totem, magic gauntlet, deck of cards or even bare hand for the particularly skilled.DVS BSTrD said:How DARE you go against the book of Opassisak? You're destroying the sanctity of Wizarding and undermining the institution of Occult style! There will be anarchy in the streets! Next thing you know apprentices will be going around BARE HEADED!
And Paul should keep that beard.
Now I respect merlin as much as the next magic user, but lets face it he was very old fashioned he wasn't that respectful when it came to witches and he hardly had the most open minded opinion when it came to female wizards, just because they can't grow facial hair doesn't mean they can't cast good spells. I do say higher enchantment buffs is fine for the wizard who provides ranged support, but a helmet is second to non when it comes to the old problem of axe to the face which is a big problem for those mages who fight in the front. Thrull should be paid like any other employee you don't ask dwarfs to fight for equal payment.DVS BSTrD said:snip
I think many find it difficult to handle orbs but they have the advantage of multipal types being in sue at a single time for much greater spell variety.Thunderous Cacophony said:How can you have a whole section on wands vs. staves but never mention orbs?!? It's just shoddy journalism is what it is; in my millennia, you kids would have been set to scrubbing cauldrons for a week for such insolence.
what were you studying? Also I have fought along many good dwarfs, I wasn't criticising them I was merely pointing out thrull should be treated like other races.DVS BSTrD said:Dwarves are a key ally in the war on goblin terror. Their kingdoms occupy a tenuous and strategically invaluable position in the Middle Mountain Range. They deserve all the aid we can give them and should never be criticized for anything. Did I ever tell you I spent my practical application semester at the Academy working in a mythril mine?nuba km said:Now I respect merlin as much as the next magic user, but lets face it he was very old fashioned he wasn't that respectful when it came to witches and he hardly had the most open minded opinion when it came to female wizards, just because they can't grow facial hair doesn't mean they can't cast good spells.
