[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 4340884, member: 2020"] Remember Dragon Magazine complaining about the monk, and offering an improved version of the class? It said: 'While the 6th level magic-user was gaining his 2nd Fireball to destroy the enemy, the monk is learning to Feign Death.' LOL. Yeah, that 5th level mark was key. Yes! Well put. As in Knightmare Chess, but heck, we all thought in those terms back then. How'd that song go? 'You got to know when to ?, know when to ?, know when to ?, know when to run. You never count your money, while you're sitting at the table; there'll be time enough for counting, when the dealing is done.' Incidentally, I always refer to wizards and fighter/wizards as 'her'. This is meant as a compliment to women. It is also meant as a compliment to all who dream. And heck, theoretically, who wouldn't want to be a wizard, in addition to their normal classes? (Well ok, Conan wouldn't ... Big Bad Barbarians just HATE magic (and gained experience from destroying magical items in 1E)) It's just that, in 1E, you couldn't do that. With Gestalting, though ... man, I could see an enterprising young lady taking flight with that option. : ) [/QUOTE]
