No. Parry isn't useless. It's not that great. But it's not useless. If you have points to burn, like 21 INT mage. [img]smile.gif[/img] After all, if you're a mage and you're keeping the horde off you while your Hound Archon chops them into bits it helps...

Lore isn't useless. You pick up some cool stuff. Why not use it now, instead of hopping back-and-forth to a temple? Sometimes you can't leave an area (ex: Helm's Hold) unless something has been done. Also, lore saves spell slots. No need to memorize identify. I'd rather have the odd magic-missile or color-spray spell. Or a Summon Trap-Tripping Creature 1...

Concentration is very, very important to avoid spell casting failure when hit in melee. If I've ever been taunted, I haven't noticed.
