[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 4338951, member: 2020"] (humor) True, true. But our elven wizard is only using fighter, as a means to an end! Hehe. She will use the fighter class to breeze through the lower levels, where being a wizard is hard. Then, she (I *always* refer to wizards as *she*) will gain the great powers of a high level wizard, and shape everything to her will! (grins evilly) If I were playing a person with the mentality of a wizard, and I could get away with having the advantages of a fighter while learning to be (an actually effective) wizard (at least 5th level, but 9th level is so much better) then I would! Anything goes, in the World of Wizardry. Just as with the Rogue, any dirty trick is in the cards. Because that's how I work. That's how I survive, and win, and triumph, and become mighty and powerful and wealthy and immortal and whatever else I want to be or have in life! So yeah, that cute elven girl - she is cute, and she has an attitude, and that attitude will see some serious butt kicking. It will be arrows and swords and magic missiles, then arrows and swords and fireballs, then arrows and swords and cloudkill, then bigtime arrows and swords and death spell! Wizards are ruthless. Ambitious. Talented, resourceful, and clever. And, out to bend and alter all and everything to their liking. With the power of being fighters to aid them, give them a free hand up to high level, they will do just that! More seriously, yes, though. If I were playing a young lady wizard, she would gladly take rogue abilities, and wouldn't hesitate to backstab or sneak attack, or use poison, or do whatever other nefarious things required to win. Would she view that as evil? Not at all. Using nefarious means to win, and keeping her friends alive (in the party) is a good thing! Not being nefarious and nasty and wicked and ruthless and altering Everything to Her Needs, THAT is true evil, because it is letting herself down and her friends down. And I do remember elves being able to be fighter/wizard/rogues, so I could create just such a character ... [/QUOTE]
