Dunadan Mage
less wordy than before, just focused on game issues.
nice that it starts with character building points in CON instead of DEX; 6 STR 8 INT 6 CON.
my first character dies to Fang on DL2, CL3.
Second character does better. Spells are no longer where i am used to seeing them (i.e in years of muscle memory). Detect monsters is no longer lev1, which should be bad, but then again if you die at CL1, just restart.
I crawl until DL5, read 3 new scrolls hoping for Descent, and one is - DL11 i find Book2 and a Maul of *Slay Troll, not gonna be doing much troll slaying just yet, but +2 STR is nice.
I sell the stuff i found and buy Book3.
I hit a could of level-ups just by reading spells - not as drastic as the 4.2.0 druid, though.
I get Frost Bolt at CL13 at 31% fail. so .. CL15 to use it reliably? not great.
i get the impression that trap appear where previously there wre none.
By CL16 i realize that frost bolt may be a long way off. still 22% fail, which IRL means 30/40% when there's a mob in sight.
casting the spell of Teleport Other nets me 200xp for the effort, a bit buch at this CL.
