[QUOTE="ECMO3, post: 8856329, member: 7030563"] In the book it is specifically enhanced by magic if I recall correctly, it is not simple alchemy or a background. More to the point you can say this about any spell. Sure, but this is the only other character to dominate the scene in a comparable way. I think he pretty much stole the horse and then traveled faster than any normal horse could travel. While it may not have mentioned a spell it was implied and as I recall the King did not just give it to him because they were friends. Which he was able to do because he magically acquired and buffed a horse. Just like the Friends cantrip or enhance ability. He is a Wizard dominating the situations. And it is ok. That is the relevant point. Also while Wizards have a truely awesome spell selection, they have limits on prepared spells and limits on spells in their book unless the DM gives them piles of money, downtime and scrolls available. A 20th level Wizard only has 44 spells in his book (45 if he is a necromancer) unless the DM made more available and provided the time and money to transcribe them. Of those 44; 8 are 1st level spells and he can only prepare 25 of them (plus signature spells). For comparison a 20th level Cleric has on the order of 125 leveled spells available to prepare depending on subclass and he has 35 of them prepared on a given day. So the Wizard class may have an "answer for every situation" available on its spell list, but Wizard characters do not have anything close to this available in play. [/QUOTE]
