[QUOTE="Crazy Jerome, post: 5782834, member: 54877"] I've sometimes wondered if some lower-powered forms of the various Tenser Transformation effects might be the way to go? The wizard doesn't use a crossbow (necessary) all that great. And he doesn't use his magic missile over an over again. What he does is cast a low-level, maybe even "at will" spell that lets him function somewhere between a 1E thief and 1E cleric. Perhaps gain 1 hit point per level, and a modest bonus to hit and damage over his normally lousy chances. If it were at-will, I'd make it something it definitely tenative in application. Maybe the wizard has to make a save every round to keep it going or it is ablative with hits (or instead misses). Jorge the Jaunty was not out of spells, but he preferred to reserve his magic for the trials sure to be ahead. As Sir Smacks a Lot held the center of the line, Jorge summoned the minor imp that he had bound to his short sword. The blade glowed a sickly evil red, and the goblins recoiled slightly as Jorge advanced and struck one down. But then the goblin chieftan saw the blade flicker with the hit, and grinned. [/QUOTE]
