Teleport. See you in 3 months buddy. We need to do stuff underwater? Sorry about that - guess you either wait here or drown. Infiltration mission? Well, you stay here, we'll tell you what we find out. Fight going badly? Guess which guy doesn't get the escape spell?And of course I'd be passing on worthless pieces of junk to you as 'magical items' out of treasure hoards, on the basis that you can't tell whether they're magic or not, and you'd just smash them if they were anyway...None of this is being mean, and none of this is taking into account the standard "me forsaker, me kill magic user" attitude that the forsaker seems to come packaged with. It's just being pragmatic and not allowing another player to ruin my fun.I'd suggest that if you want an interesting anti-magic character, you either take occult slayer, or you just take fighter levels and spend all your non-fighter feats on spelltouched feats from unearthed arcana. Now you'll have a character that bounces lightning bolts, turns 'being set on fire' into a bonus, rebounds power word spells, rebounds any spell if he crits his save, and a bunch of other stuff - good, effective, entertaining stuff that doesn't screw with the party spellcasters ability to help you.</blockquote>
