[QUOTE="KesselZero, post: 5836200, member: 6689976"] What exactly did the Gray Mouser have in terms of magic? (This is an honest question born of it being years since I last read the F&tGM stories.) I remember him grounding himself with a wire to avoid getting zapped in "Ill-Met in Lankhmar" but that's about it, so I'm remembering him more as a rogue who knows about magic but doesn't really use it himself. Please illuminate. Rules-wise, I really want proper multiclassing to come back so we can have F/MUs and R/MUs, both of which I love. Somehow the 4e method of simply making new classes that fill the role never really satisfied me; I want my F/MU to have fighter and wizard powers, not a bunch of teleports (as was pointed out about the Swordmage). I do like the Bladesinger, though; I think it decently captures the "mostly melee with a few arcane tricks up his sleeve" type of F/MU. Also, thanks for the etymology of "gish." I've always wondered about that term. How exactly is it used for Githyanki in-game-- is it a specific class/job/caste of people like "knight" or "samurai," or just a Githyanki word like "magic-user?" How was it used for OD&D elves? Did it actually appear in official sources or was it just a slang word used by players who'd heard it in White Dwarf? [/QUOTE]
