Casting a defensive spell is a good idea, because the BBEG might survive that first spell chucked at him.I would expect the enemy to come after me regardless of which attack or defense spell I cast. Seriously - mages have d4 hp per level and crappy Grapple checks. If the mage isn't bothering to protect himself, he will die. Deservedly so.(Of course, one of the things that makes invisibility broken is that you must use a specific tactic to see through it, which not everyone is likely to have.)Heh heh. Yeah, that sucks. Mirror image is, IMO, the single best-designed defense spell for mages. It's powerful, and even protects you from targeted spells, but you don't need magic to go through it. (I would say the same thing about stoneskin, except eventually -10 damage doesn't mean much.)I disagree. d4 hp/level, etc. It's not the wizard's fault that Wizards put such a class into print.I think this is less of an alignment factor and more of a "bad player" factor. A dead person can't use his magic items. But it should be obvious to that player that taking those items is hurting the game.</blockquote>
