[QUOTE="Ahglock, post: 4024702, member: 56725"] I'd want Bigby to finally kick Blackstaffs butt once and for all. Circle of Eight so much cooler than the legion of mages in the realms. Maintainers of Status Quo so much more cool than defenders of good. The Magic spellplague and all that crap got me to thinking about a end of 2e realms story that i loved which just couldn't work under 3e magic. I can't remember his name but the Mage who invented Stasis Clone.(Clone back in the day was a separate you made at the time you cast the spell, not a lump of flesh waiting for your spirit, stasis clone kind of was liek the current clone in that the clone didn't activate until your death, but it still was a separate you not a lump of flesh waiting for your soul) Anyways some magic disaster went off and all of his stasis clones became active, and like standard clone they were all intent on murdering each other and were going insane. So all these archmages were diving into back up stores of magic items and traveling the realms intent on killing each other until there was only one. Awesome story, great hooks impossible under 3e magic and clone system. To me a lot of the magic was lost in 3e the spells felt more regimented more mechanical and less magical. I wander if the magic will come back for me in 4e or will it more further away into the realm of boring mechaincal feel. [/QUOTE]
