[QUOTE="mlund, post: 5978415, member: 50304"] Yup. Pretty much. My first long-running 3E character was an Arcane Trickster from Tome and Blood. Even with bad caster-levels I was still head-and-shoulders more useful than any two non-casters. It was way too easy. Yup, as I moved into 3.5 I transitioned over to Bards so I could do some things the old-fashioned way. The fact that I could still abuse wands and scrolls to death was always a temptation, so I stayed away from crafting and often spent wealth buffing my nigh irrelevant personal melee and ranged attacks or buying real-estate. :D The power-gamer in me never let me break the addiction to Save-or-Lose spells like Glitterdust, Silence, Hold, Charm, Dominate, etc. though. And then there was that Beguiler ... oi ... that Beguiler ... - Marty Lund [/QUOTE]
