[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 3095851, member: 6562"] So much depends on the DM, it's hard to say if you need to go through such measures to get an effective Wizard. It's also hard to know why the player in question is insisting on playing the one thing that the DM said is going to be restricted. If the player wants a challenge, let him play a Kobold Wizard under those rules, and let him enjoy his game. If the player wants to be contrary and challenge the DM's authority, I'd say it's a bad start to a game, and I'd suggest to him that he should probably just choose something different. (IMC, I nerfed [i]magic missile[/i] so that it capped its effect at level 5 -- 3 missiles -- rather than level 9 -- 5 missiles. One of the PCs made a wand of magic missiles at level 9 and bitterly complained each time only 3 missiles came out... about three times. Then he got bored with that tactic and decided to just play along with the rules, and everyone had more fun. It's everyone's game, but the DM gets to make the rules.) Sounds like an excellent setting for a Druid, Bard or Sorcerer. Cheers, -- N [/QUOTE]
