[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 6154415, member: 19675"] He [I]may[/I] still be pissed that my über-Druid threatened his über-Mage with an ass kicking when he suggested that he'd open fire on the Lich and Deathknights riding through the woods with a fireball (his signature spell), because it would set the woods on fire... ...on a demiplane of evil... He blinked first and used something else. But regardless, he refuses to share, claiming my spell choices are poor & worthless. And in a sense, he is 100% correct. See my buddy is an optimizer. This is not intentional. This is not something he goes out on the web to do. He has a mathematical mind, and he approaches playing a Mage with that mindset. Its natural to him; innate. As a result, every Mage I've seen him play since 1985 (save for the one in 4Ed) had nearly the same spell list. My spellcasters, OTOH, are more varied because I always ask "what would THIS guy pick?" As a result, I rarely have spells he wants to trade for. Though my Geomancer/Mystic Theurge did get his attention when he immobilized an opponent spellcaster with some spell that grabbed the foe in a hand of earth & dirt... [/QUOTE]
