Another important consideration is that your favorite spell costs 1hp less. So if your Mage's favorite 1st-level spell is MM, then that will only cost 2hp instead of 3. And better yet, your favorite 0-level spell will cost nothing at all!Assuming a weak mage: STR 5 + 1d6 (2) = 7hp. That means he can cast MM three times a day, unlimited favorite 0-level spells, and still have 1hp left to run. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> Compare this with a D&D mage who has 4hp and can cast exactly 3 0-level spells and a single 1st-level spell, probably adding another bonus 1st-level spell due to high INT.I think the M20 mage should not look too shabby. Can you provide some more information?This must be your game style. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> When I posted my observations, I noted that nearly all my skill checks were Subterfuge+DEX and Subterfuge+MIND for Hide, Spot, Listen, Disarm and the like. Somebody else posted that most of their checks involved social interactions. That convinced me.We use little wooden tokens on the table, just to know who is hitting whom. I usually just rule that moving from one end of the battle to the other takes a round, all other movement from foe to foe comes for free.Interesting alternative. Nobody in my group is using two weapons, so I can't say anything about it.</blockquote>
