[QUOTE="hopeless, post: 3870450, member: 36349"] [b]Okay...[/b] Actually he put a crystal on top of his staff and blew on it which does resemble the light spell, however he is dependent on his staff for magic if we take what happened with Saruman BUT that giant eagle was actually sent by Radagast the Brown someone Saruman thinks is even more useless than Gandalf's love of the halflings pipeweed. Does this mean when he told that butterfly to tell Radagast he needed help that Gandalf has some levels in druid? Then there was that stand on the bridge or should I say plank of stone, sure looked like he cast a wall of force to block the Balrog's attack and somehow weakened the bridge so it collapsed under the balrog's weight perhaps he should have though about casting reduce on the balrog's underpants that is assuming it had any... Hmm Gandalf perhaps a 6th level wizard and 3rd level druid with levels as a Mystic Theurge? He does like his fireworks after all and we don't see him memorising spells so it could be sorceror instead with the fact that wizards being a name for his group rather than an actual class... 4e now apparently has wizards depending on wands and staves to cast their spells... I wonder where they got THAT idea from... PS: I kind of see Aragorn as a half elven Aristocrat/Fighter/Ranger of about 1st/2nd/3rd but thats depending on whether he can actually qualify for the Leadership feat exactly how it works on the undead however is something for another thread. Must admit I have been wondering about this though and I'd say Tolkien plays a big part, if only because its how I see d&d rather than what everyone else sees it. Still I do hope to one day be able to buy that Conan omnibus someday... [/QUOTE]
