[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 4338768, member: 2020"] Hey there. Cheers to yourself, Plane Sailing. A pleasure to meet you. :) I don't know what to say. Except a big cheer to yourself and those of you who played straight class wizards, considering how hard the class was to play. I mean, nothing like ... d4 for hit points, worst THAC0 (what THAC0, really!), no armor, no weapons, a handful of spells, a spellbook all too likely to go boom, and a magical item or two. Gads. I remember ... it was no picnic (and of course, NPCs would *never* cooperate with you trying to gain spells, ala the 1E DMG ... lol ...) Now, if it was the Tomb of Horrors, it didn't matter whether you played the fighter or the wizard. The rule there was Everyone Died! :D But in other games, it was a real pain playing a low level wizard. I tried several times, but to no avail. They all died. Only my multiclass characters made it (which shows, I was a lousy wizard player ... and I am willing to admit it ...) How did you and your friends keep your single class wizards alive? What tactics did you pull? You've got my curiosity up, bigtime! Cheers Edena_of_Neith [/QUOTE]
