Mages vs. Clerics

If it's no bug or an idea, but it's still MUD-related, it goes here.

To be honest, Killing things is alright, but I've always thought it is way more awesome to be taking hits from everything in the room and not even taking so much as a scratch from it. I only wish there was some way to have an "armour" against miracles that was effective as the armour I wear. But then again, I have to have -some- weaknesses =P.

Wizards are awesome, I've played this game for so long, definately longer than any game I've played.

I am not sure if I even want to witness it...An elite warrior with superb eq backed up by a priest and warded against miracles/magic by a mage. *Shudders*

And yet, it remains entirely possible. If I ever learn magic it will be specifically to armour myself against miracles. Then I will be INVINCIBLE! Mauhahaha! *imitates russian goldeneye dude*

Problem - if it protects you from their miracles, it protects you from my miracles, so I won't be able to bring you back to life if you die some other way. :P

Ill just study more and learn how to defend against only certain miracles. Anything is possible Caelia.

Good luck with finding enough time to study more.
All knowledge is heresy. Yes, you heard me correctly.

You could always just learn the language and try to win the favour of a mage who'd supply you with the scrolls you need :wink:

Of course such amateur castings might just spectacularly backfire on you. It takes only one fumble to take just about all your combat capability away :twisted:

I might be tempted to provide such amateurs with scrolls. At least if the scrolls
have armageddon type capabilities and use the amateur as a target. This way
they could at least learn something.
