I'd suggest that the wizard uses his new-found power to stop whatever the current problem is (is that why they're tracking down the throne?), then decides that there's no reason to stop there - he could be creating a real utopia. His ideas on how to do this, unfortunately, increasingly don't...

I'm not usually willing to de-lurk, but this is easily the best thread title I've ever seen. And well-written, too. Nice work.

I seem to have failed to mention that I don't intend to limit skill ranks by level. It's just that it would require a lot of practice to get skills to high levels without gaining class levels. The idea behind multiplying skill points by half of level is actually just to discourage people from...

I miss the 2E Weird spell...it died when they made it into another flavorless 'save or die' spell. What happened to duking it out with your greatest fear?
