That gives you a nice idea for MERP levels.Now for the fun part:Gandalf is level 40(80) Grey, 50(120) White, 360 Istari.You see, the problem with playing as Gandalf in MERP is the exact same problem as playing Raistlin in Dragonlance. Everyone knows the levels they should be able to rise to should the situation warrant it and the things they should be able to accomplish, but the player is never going to be able use any of it, because the DM is holding the trigger for those things in a locked chest that he is sitting on.So, Gandalf gets to cast exactly as many spells as the Gamemaster says. If the Gamemaster says that Gandalf is fully Istari now, out goes all the resting for him and woe to his opponents.</blockquote>
