Hmmm, as to your first point Six', you're quite right. sorry about that Wilbur (amd Sythe). [img]smile.gif[/img]
As to not dragging a mage over the length and breadth of the Sword Coast...that makes little real sense in terms of RP. You need friends, have precious few at the start, and might like the company. Who knows, if you suggest that you don't like the look of Monty and Xan (who could resist them) don't take them. In addition, if you follow Gorion's advice and go to the 'Arm, you'll pick up Khalid and Jaheira, giving you four - with Imoen. You might consider that enough in your party and not want anymore.
Taking or not taking a mage at the beginning depends on your point of view. Especially so if it's
your character that is the mage!
