In PnP, CU and CGU are permanent. But the created undead is NOT under the control of the caster.

7th lv Control Undead spell would be needed yes. And well worth it IMO.

Blah, blah, blah.

Let me go out on a limb here, and say the obvious. The majority of caster players are so power hungry and so lazy, they won't even bother to read spell descriptions.

Actually, what is wanted by most casters, more so MAGES, is easy power a means to kill all and be epic, with NO effort.

Sound about right?

Here's some "magic" :

There's going to be a lot of posts telling me Im arrogant, blah blah.
Then there's going to be some posts how mages need more power.
Then there's going to be talk about how hard it is to level a mage ... (LOOOOOL)
And then there will be moderation by the team.



Or:

I can break it down easy.

If you play caster, any kind of caster, and you have trouble? Well, guess what. That's entirely your own mistake. Good huh?

So stop MOANING like little sissy girls if you play a caster, and PERHAPS try to get some skill. :D

Bree. out. Bunch of bwah, meh, meh *goat sounds* You
GET.

MY point. Yes?
If not, go play archer, or fighter, or anything NOT a caster.

Bunch of sissies, that's what most casters are. Clueless, no effort to learn lore, DnD ruls (as per spells) no effort to learn SPELLS they can themselves cast, no EFFORT.

Why?

Because you want to rule the world with magic. Well, go for it, players like me and Aelcar will show you how incredibly you SUCK at playing caster.

If you want to play caster, you have NO right. At all. To complain about ANYTHING. If you do.. and you feel it's not "balanced" ...

I have news. It's not because it's not "balanced" or what not.
It.

Is.

Because.

YOU.

Cannot.

Play.

Caster.

So STOP the whining.
And:

L2p.
