[QUOTE="RUMBLETiGER, post: 5968445, member: 6674868"] I'll be honest, [URL="http://theevilgm.wordpress.com/2012/02/03/a-brief-history-of-vancian-magic/"]I Had To Look Up What Vancian Meant[/URL]. I've designed [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-legacy-discussion/320239-help-me-build-party-buff-wizard.html"]My Most Recent Wizard[/URL] (That I've yet to put into play, so perhaps I'll have a more rounded description later) with the intention of carrying a false modest superiority, accomplished by focusing most of the spells he casts on improving the prowess and ability (Buffing) of the party members, to the point where they end up doing much of the work and realize they cannot function as well as they are accustomed to without him. He'd possess a few "aces up his sleeve" for what he absolutely needs to "go nova", but I expect the last few rounds of combat to be spent with him literally basket weaving and using his free actions to say things like "Good job lads, keep it up." The last Wizard I played quite a few years ago was a crotchety old Gnome that wasn't willing to stick his neck out for anyone, so he'd do the bare minimum to save everyone's necks (Which he did very effectively) so they'd keep him around, but he was Role-played as a pain in the butt. You know, in a "lovable, grows on you" sort of way. [/QUOTE]
