You could have found a better example that wasn't screaming "Hey look how awesomely monstrous I am." What I described was the poster child of what I want, not a literal character build. So far I have used elements here and there of that composite character, not every sorceress I have played had a talking raven, but the relationship with the familiars has been a strong element with most of them. Not everyone was a melee combatant, but the spear is both iconic and a representation of how I roll -without combat magic, without blowing stuff apart-. I only put together the flying disk/servant combo once, it wasn't a drag, it was push and more than one servant, but both spells show my approach to magic, to cause mayhem, to do unexpected things, to create stuff, to shape the world around. Those spells have been staples of my playing before.And not everyone has been dumb as nuts, some were clever, but having to carry a book around ruins the illusion, it spoils the fantasy of what I want. It reinforces the technocratic positivistic vibe that permeates the world around us, part of me playing is to get away from that, from a cold emotionless environment. Part of my fantasy involves emotions and humanity being a thing greater than us, not being subjugated and limited by cold reason.  Sorry for that, but you have to understand, this argument is not new. I know I'm perpetually stuck repeating myself, and I want to be grateful. I could be wrong, maybe this is a misunderstanding, but a lot of the time all of these suggestions seem to be joined by dismissiveness of what I want/need and no less patronizing, as if I was dumb enough to not think of it before, but it is stuff that hasn't worked out before. I'm a strong proponent of third party and homebrew, I liberally use both whenever I run my games. I was the first one to propose a full class to En5ider -I was scared as hell when I did it, after being told over and over that I'm so wrong, that what I want is somehow bad and I'm an egotist entitled munchkin ... Anyway James is a great guy and he held my hand during the process-. Yet it hasn't helped me at all, how can I dare to ask for some accommodations? a lot of the time I don't even get the chance to ask. And in what way can I get the nerves to ask for homebrew, if DMs go bananas when I even bring out some basic refluffing? I can count myself lucky when I get to play period. Am sorry if I  overreact, but this just keeps repeating itself, now cue someone else telling me that WotC owes me nothing and that it is all my own fault for having character flaws and not being this bossy person that can get away with everything.</blockquote>
