[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 5911012, member: 92511"] As I addressed them, as separate points. Again, I don't see how or why what I wrote was "insulting." But I apologize for it nonetheless. My intent was not to insult anyone. Pretty much all of them. But, again, I didn't come here to argue with anyone. So, sorry for insulting you or presenting, what you feel to be, a "strawman." Yeah...I read it...read it again..paid attention to the boldy bits...and I'm still at a loss. Just obtuse, I suppose. O...K...? I don't think I was saying that...I was [I]trying[/I] to say, I [I]think[/I] (and, admittedly, I didn't go back and check), that allowing damage-dealing cantrips that could be done at will was not a way to make one's wizard a worthy contributor or more "magicky" than others. Well then, again,...I apologize. It was not the intent to insult...merely disagree with what I had read, throughout the thread, that the idea of "damage dealing cantrips...at will"...was it in the original L&L post?...as being something that a wizard "needs" to have to be more "magicky." As my previous post has ascribed, for all of ENworld to see, Defcon1 and I are in agreement. The option should be there, for those that want their mages that have that, to cast "at will" damage-dealing cantrips all day. I, for one, am not one of those people who feels that necessary for a wizard character...hence, not something I feel the "rules" need to allow or stipulate. The options, though, I have no problem with being there. I MUCH prefer Minigiant's portrayal of a wizard who uses their cantrips to "appear" magical to those around him/make his life easier...out of combat. OR, as I presented, a wizard who uses an array of "explorative" and "interactive" magics/spells OR SKILLS to make themselves "useful" AND magicky at the same time...without a flurry of darts or crossbow bolts. I don't believe I have or intentionally entered into any "argument" here...nor, from what I've seen/received, insulted anyone but you. And for that, again, I apologize. --SD [/QUOTE]
