Aha... that is Tenser's allright. It fits the personality of my Necromancer perfectly. When things get ugly, he just lets go and starts whacking everything in sight, hehe...
Anyways, it is not just that. As I previously posted, there are a couple more spells that help the mage become (sort of) a fighter. And most of them last for a long time (Strength= 1h/lvl, etc). I cant remember exactly without my char in front of me but I manage to get him to around 120hp, 5Thaco, -5AC, and damage in the whereabouts of 20/30 per hit when in "warrior mode".
Of course, I dont do this all the time. He IS a mage after all. But it is useful and fun when you just dont want to stand back and throw spells or let others do the dirty work for you. [img]smile.gif[/img]
