[QUOTE="krupintupple, post: 4853071, member: 58300"] i do think that scurvy did cut at the core of the problem - myself and others are perhaps more invested than these two are. it's only annoying, insofar that some really cool options, such as summoning, dispelling, counterspelling, ect. aren't being used at all. i should probably de-invest myself though; i think that i'll stop letting splatbook material in, as if its not going to be used, there's no point combing through books in order to make for more ways to skin a cat. however, the cleric is improving, but the mage isn't really. another player pointed out that a warmage would basically get the same staples the mage normally had, except his uses per day would increase dramatically. he's just not seeing it, and we'll have to accept that. i think another bone of contention could be that if i were to send a challenging magical encounter after the group things could turn out really bad, or one or two of them may well die. i should probably take into consideration that the smarter players mostly avoid death whereas the lazier ones don't seem to care as much. i think i mostly felt it hurt story continuity when they've met their 3rd Aragorn in as many weeks in a seedy tavern. finally, unattended items don't get the best saves, and with the fireball-happy mage, he's ruined his fair share of items. the rest of the party is really starting to take an issue with this, which is to say nothing of the subtlety of trying to sneak into an area when someone is setting off...the 4th of july at midnight.
