[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 381018, member: 2020"] [b]Concerning my cleric/mage, Edena[/b] I would love it if Edena were immortalized in this way. Who wouldn't want their character immortalized? I could substitute my character Osilovar for Edena. Or Aerviue. Or Edelaith. Or Aerviue. Or Gwindlin. All of them are, or were, mages and magistresses. - - - There are two reasons why I cannot take WOTC up on their offer, though. One reason is darkly humorous, and the other is very serious. - - - The darkly humorous reason is simple: If people start having to say: I am casting Edena's Fireball, or Edena's Lightning Bolt, or Edena's (whatever) I think they will all quit playing Dungeons and Dragons, and the whole HOBBY will collapse! After all, it just will not DO to have a super-munchkinized, super-cheating, super-ridiculous cleric 121 / wizard 40 with his name on D&D spells! :D - - - The very serious reason is quite simple: None of my characters invented any of the spells already in print. None of my characters are likely or even unlikely to have invented any new spells that come out in later products - they are all busy ADVENTURING, not conducting (extremely time intensive) spell research. The Gaming Conventions forbid me to falsely represent the deeds and actions of my characters. Edena_of_Neith [/QUOTE]
