I understand. I like the way you discribe it Darling :)

...

What wording i used is not something i cba to discuss. This forum is filled with ppl going mental over a single word in a chat.

I said it to give a feel as to what stats he had. I am guessing he has min int and min chr and max strength and max dex. Sure, all stats are used in rp, and rp is more a "the mind of the player" than the stat on the chart. I just used that wording without putting as much into it as it referring to a certain mindset.

Perhaps talk with the player and explain the situation? Maybe have him play a "weaker" class and pose it as a challenge of his abilities while the players with system mastery get "stronger" ones?

I see the suggestion, but is it not a bit harsh to tell a player that plays to metagame (where i love rp, he loves high numbers, where i love to just wing it, he loves rules), that his chr is to good. Keep it down a bit?

I agree with Aeshuura on this one. Even if i often myself have used magic in such ways.

I remember esp. a part where we were in a dungeon with loads of traps and similar dangerous things. The group more or less cleared it all based on "boring" things like "commune with deity", teleport etc. Sure, its cool to use magehand to push the lever from outside the bars of your jail, but to clear traps wich were designed to make us think, to make us wonder what the answer to the riddle was etc with a simple spell..

To me its the boring way out.

But to stay on topic. My main reason for disliking mages is that most of my experience with them is that they either are full-combat-mode and can blast away what every is thrown at them or they are completly unprepared of the encounter and than whine their ass of based on things like low ac, low hp, targeting spellboks, resistances etc..
