Looking at our spells there was something like a 75% overlap (both are characters we have had for years who converted to 3e) so I tried very hard as I advanced in 3e to choose different spells and tactics to keep us distinct.For example, he was known for years as always using invisibility, so I opted not to get it for a long while until a recent adventure required us to break into a fortress at which point I broke down and spent the money to learn the spell.Likewise I have stuck with lightning bolts because he is a habitual fireball thrower and I have become known as an air mage with my constant flying and lightning spells and items.So not detente to prevent the spells being used against us, but refraining from choosing available ones for metagame reasons.</blockquote>
