[QUOTE="TheRelinquished, post: 2931982, member: 33150"] Wow. I sincerely can't remember the last time a D&D story entertained me this much. A few things.... To all the naysayers: Blah, blah, blah. I'm having fun, he's having fun, go read about CG half-elf rangers who think mages are unnatural, maybe you'll have fun with that. I don't even care about the meta-game pretenses, or how "rich" his char development will or will not be--the story seems hella interesting, right now! To Ralts: Well done, mate. I recently gave up my usual position as primary caster for an interesting new warrior class a friend found for me. But reading this (especially the "Challenge denied!" bit) made me sorely yearn for a half-loon, curse-whipping mage. This character idea reminds me what I love about being a mage--you always have a chance to think on your feet and make crazy things happen (like detroying a level boss by fireballing all sixteen squares he's occupying). Some say it speaks of "overzealousness", others claim it's a sign of "immaturity", or "hamishness", but really, I say that I'm just doing my job as "the-guy-who-blows-things-up" while the other party memebers serve as invaluable meatshields--er, uh, I mean--companions. I applaud your work here, and I look forward to more stories of the dreaded Cortez and his band of misfits. To the aforementioned band of misfits and the GM: I humbly bow before you and your delicious imaginations. As a side note, I'm interested in some of these non-standard rules you're using. Maybe I'm still just a fledgling n00b with merely a year or more's experience at this, but I've never read about "blood magic". This idea intrigues me and I wish to learn more. Can someone enlighten me? Or direct me to a book? Thank you, for the stories and the reference, in advance. -TR [/QUOTE]
