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.
