this is probably pushing the bounds of what this forum is for, but I can't recall offhand any clothes that let you sneak or hide.. any sort of vague hints or clues about where these might come from or what they are? > An arial necromancer may want to look for friendly warriors :). > It's a bitch that a level 24 fire giant can kill a level 25 drow mage in one round, but the best way to avoid this is to not BE around things that can kill you unless you KNOW they aren't going to. Mages have all the advantage when it comes to information. Warriors can't sneak/hide or invis without potions/groupmates... But being anywhere NEAR a group of warriors is unbelievably stupid anyway, and you deserve to get killed :). > BTW, re "Warrior"'s post: The same goes for mages... A mage's AC is useless, any warrior with decent hit/dam will laugh at it. Wear stuff that gives you advantages in one way or another (+ to dex/hp/str, special abilities, fly if you don't fly already, etc.) > Tip: Clothes that hide/sneak are especially useful for mages.
> It can be a lot of fun to play a mage. Yeah, it's a pain at the lower levels, but if you are playing a long-living class I would recommend avoiding everyone until level 20 or so.
