Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arcane Runes Press" data-source="post: 1086288" data-attributes="member: 402">The character came about in part because of the disconnect of the traditional mage in fantasy, and the rapid speed with which characters advance in D&D. Popular fantasy imagery and literature is chock full of old wizards with pointy hats and long flowing beards, but the typical D&D adventuring spellcaster is usually in his mid 20's at the latest. I wanted to play a character who really fit the standard image of the spellcaster, but it had to fit in a party of low level characters. Thus the slavery bit. It was a good hook for him, and ended up being well suited to the (unfortunately) short campaign. And yes, the party swashbuckler did end up affectionately calling me gramps. Usually in the context of "Gramps, make haste with thy Lightning! We're outnumbered 5 to 1!"Patrick Y.</blockquote>
