Myrgill the Maneuver Mage

107: Maneuver Mage
By: DATA [337]
Date: 17:30 9/20/91

The following character was created for purposed of testing the various spell enhancement systems suggested on the Fantasy board. This one is using my own Maneuver system.

I think that what you will find is a well-balanced mage with a few handy maneuvers. What I found when designing him was the difficulty of saving points for maneuvers, while spending points to raise the base spells (so that the maneuvers would be at a decent level!)

Myrgill the Maneuver Mage

Myrgill is an aged hedgewizard, although he was once an adventurer. Now he resides in the quiet town of Willowleaf, helping the peasants and farmers. Occasionally, he'll have to drive off an orc raiding party, and sometimes he'll join up with some young adventurers just for fun.
