    As a player, I can't give any exact answer, but in the CD ROM game,
    at least, you pay one gold bar per level and you have their 100% complete
    loyalty. You might try that in the game, after all, if you pay a 5th
    level mage 5 gold bars (10,000 gold coins, right?) I think he would be oh
    so happy to be your loyal lieutenant. Just a thought.

    Take care,
    Kirby

    Valor above all

    For all but a True mage I would agree. True Mages are so rare as to demand
    their price. For a level 2 or 3 true mage to come and be your pet landed
    wizard I can see it- but for a higher level (5+) wielder of land magic they
    might become an ally but not a lt.

    We used the 1 GB/level rule in a campaign (not mine) until someone hired a
    level 6 mage for 6 GB and threw the whole campaign out of whack. Remember there's only about 140 of these folks around (of whom about 50 are elves) so the pool
    of talent is pretty small. Most of these are already accounted for in published material- leading to another Randaxian rule- only one PC true mage allowed at
    any one time. The player who wants to play a true mage must develop a
    background story and explain why s/he's on the open market. I've run whole
    stretches of my BR campaign without a MU in the party. No problem.

    Normally, I would not get involved in this thread. As far as I personally
    am concerned, a lt.'s maintenance is part of the normal maintenance you pay
    on your holdings. Eg. The lt. is your castle seneschal/guild
    secretary/clerical assistant, whom you support by providing a castle/guild
    hall/temple to live in and a place at the table when you eat, etc. I do not
    normally allow true mage lt's as they are far to uncommon for non-elven
    rulers. Magicians are a special case that have not come up yet in my
    campaign.
    However, Randax, I have questions regarding your statement regarding true
    mages. You suggest that there are " about 140 of these folks around (of
    whom about 50 are elves)". I must ask are you referring to blooded mages
    when you say true mages or are there more human wizards than elven wizards
    in your campaign. In my campaign the number of human blooded wizards is
    approximately the same the number of blooded elven wizards, simply because
    magical training is more available in the elven kingdoms.
