Hi Saz,

Oh, Mages are powerful, but as I was looking over spell list, it looks like the Alchemists get a lot better spells. Some of the Mage spells aren't all that effective (like Freeze, never works!). I mean, I have to get spells like Tsunami, Boiling Blood and all the others that the Alchemist can get, Death Cloud, etc. They look really interesting! [img]smile.gif[/img]

I think the programmers and designers really endeavored to create a game in which all of the classes are balanced. The Fighters are awesome, and so are the Rangers! Just get their Bow and Ranged combat skill up, and they are quite useful for picking off foes. Also finding items is great, I've found some cool stuff in Tryton with his help.

My plan is to later turn my Priest into a Lord, and my Mage into a Samurai (their former roles in Wiz 7). I figure once they learn all their spells, then I'll turn them into warriors. They still carried over some fighting skills that I can beef up later.

Not to mention, having good hit points will be nice, the poor mage only has 33 at level 10! [img]smile.gif[/img]

But alas, my Ranger does have very weak magic skills, since I've just focused on fighting skills. I may turn him into an Alchemist for a while to beef up his magic.

So many options, it makes my head spin!
