    A regent wanting a Mage Lt. in my camapaign generally pays a hefty salary or some other compensation. This should more than make up for the used spell components.

    I voted other because I was never able to access the book with battle magic in it, so I wasn't sure whether or not I liked it, though it seems like it could be useful converted to battlesystem (somehow) or chainmail.
    I do have experience from the Birthright PC game.

    Indeed, Eldred [nodding] I was merely making my point!

    personnally wizards would rarely show themselves especaily in battle. the shield spell does not make ione immune from arrows. secondly since it is wisely known that a wizard could wipe out an army, there would evolve wizard killers. just as the pike and longbow evolve to take out knights, commandos of wizard killers would take out wizards. they would be in high demand. if a wizard made himself vulverable by being seen he increases his chance of being snuffed. this is a logical progression in the evolution of warfare. one question what exactly is this poll asking.

    Wouldn't the best wizard killers just be more wizards? Wizards tend to have ways of staying alive. Wizards should be rare in battle, but since battles are so common, wizards might as well profit from them as well. The idea of wizard-killing commandos sounds right, historically, but what would make them effective? My best guess would be priestly support, whom I don't believe should have battle magic.

    A shield spell may not stop arrows, but a protection from normal missles does a good job.

    Spell resistant commandos come to mind as being powerful against wizards.

    I am interested in why Gargamel thinks priests should not have battle magic. I am going to make a new thread for this subject if anyone cares to participate.
