Sure hope the guard isn't made suspicious by the man dancing around in the bathrobe.  Yes, I know this was a deliberate design attempt so that the fighters/skill users would get their day.  However, the mage is reduced to nothing more than the Runescape, boring blaster.  And that's terrible.</p></blockquote><p></p>
