[QUOTE="Majoru Oakheart, post: 6313316, member: 5143"] I would never play a character who couldn't rely on his own abilities to work. Just imagine going through life that way. If each time you tried to take a step forward you had a 5% chance of falling on your face....you would never attempt walking again. Especially if you could crawl without the chance of face planting. If magic had the possibility of killing you each and every time you cast it, no one would cast spells unless the situations was already so bad that you were going to die anyways. I certainly wouldn't allow a mage into my group if I knew his spells could accidentally blow up and kill me and he had no control over it whatsoever. Please, just tell the mage to go home and we'll find us another fighter. The only way it becomes remotely feasible that anyone would take up the profession of mage is if their spells never went haywire. Or if they did go haywire that the consequences were very mild.
