[QUOTE="Remathilis, post: 6784348, member: 7635"] Prefaced with all the "Your campaign, your fun" stuff. So, the PC is literally the first Wizard in history. Who taught him? How did he learn to read magic? Where is he going to find spellbooks to get new spells from? Can he find a Staff of the Magi, or is he going to need to invent it? If he gets speared by a kobold and dies, and the Player wants to roll up another wizard, is he now screwed that the ONLY wizard in the world is now dead? If not, where did the SECOND wizard in the world come from? If a new player joins and he too wants to play a wizard, do you now say "No, only one person has be trained like this."? If not, is there an explanation on why the two people in the world trained exactly like this have now met? Really, for me the idea that there are a small but tangible population with skills and abilities that can be collectively called "wizard" or "druid" or "paladin" (and that identify as such) is just easier to swallow than "You're the only person with these specific skills". And if there is more than one, they would logically group together in some way. [/QUOTE]
