[QUOTE="ProfessorCirno, post: 4429352, member: 65637"] Assist others. There are some situations in which some classes don't shine like others do. When you go up against an anti-magic field (or just plain monster with high SR) then the wizard does something other then cast spells - usually he assists the team directly or indirectly. Same with the rogue against undead; provide flanking, make full use of items (You've got UMD as a class skill, after all), etc, etc. [i]Be creative[/i]. Isn't the entire plot of the first Dragonlance books that they have a magic staff that can cure wounds? Aside from that, [i]who cares[/i] if it's not in any action movies? Tabletop shouldn't be an action movie, or a book, or a video game, or anything [i]but tabletop[/i]. It is its own thing, and while it can take advice from those other things, it doesn't become them. Besides, that's exactly what those wands are there for. Do you ban medical kits from games? Are bandages not allowed? Not that [i]any of that matters[/i]. Mogg said "No, you're incorrect, I just ran a part of players that weren't in any way geared specifically to this task, and I did fine." It doesn't matter how he did it, so long as he did it inside the rules of the game. Unless you've houseruled against [i]all wands[/i]. [/QUOTE]
