Arx, you better do the smart thing. Make the wizard never look like a wizard. Until you get to like, fucking Tom Bombadil and Gandalf have a baby levels of magical badassery, don't look like a wizard.

You're past that level of badassery by the time you're level 6, heh, depending on which D&D we're talking here.

But that kills half the fun of playing a wizard. Everybody knows that the only good way to play a wizard is to wear a cornuthaum and/or robes and preferably go around talking like some wise-ass old guy, e.g. "It is not late, nor is it early. It arrives precisely when I mean it to".
Actually, the best way to play a wizard is to do that and secretly be a non-magical class.

But then you're playing a rogue. I mean, you need to at least back it up by playing a bard or a spellthief or something that has at least a little magic that you can use to back up your claims.

Or a Wand of Prestidigitation or something, I guess.

Great day at school. :D

>Helped a friend finish a science lab that she missed early before school
>Hung out with her for 30 minutes and met a couple of her friends
>Math was meh
>Got to know a couple friends better in Geography, and made jokes about McDonalds
>Might've fixed up my pin-hole camera in photography. Maybe it will work now!
>Science, and thus awesome. Also got quite a bit done on the mini-project.
>Met a few more of my friend's friends during lunch
>Talked with and helped a couple people in engineering, since I couldn't work on my project due to the teacher being absent for most of the period. That part was meh, but hey, friends.
>Hung out with my crush during Latin, and I'm starting to think that she may like me too.
>Health was meh, but still a couple maybe!friends

I also got a haircut, so I no longer look like Yoink. :P

Just be a warrior and swap clothes with the wizard occasionally, also be really good with sleight of hand for card/parlor tricks.

Someone insults your pointy hat inside a tavern?  Beat them to death with a chair and give the wizard a really awesome reputation of not-to-be-messed-with.  Then make sure they know you're a wizard by pulling roses out of the dead guy's head.

I just realized that there isn't a genre name for Minecraft clones like there is for Aeon of Strife clones to legitimize the genre, so Imma come up with one.

Magnificently Open Block-based Action-adventure, or MOBA for short.

Or maybe Always Really Tantalizing Supplies, or ARTS for short.

Hmm. That last one's kinda lame.
Voxelboxes. Voxel-based sandboxes.

Could probably manage it relatively handily with a factotum, too.

I suggest Tindertwigs and flour. Make a fancy gesture, toss the flour out, and ignite it with the twig to make a nice magical flash of light, and leave Sleight of Hand and Bluff to take care of the rest.

Also doesn't count if your character has half-decent melee attacks, because it looks funny to see somebody maul people with acid-coated maces while shooting fire out of their eyes and also be wearing a wizard hat.
If ToME4 has taught me anything, that is the best kind of looking funny. If you're going to be a little fat person devouring physical manifestations of the infinite void, whole, there is no more dapper means of doing so than while wearing a nicely enchanted wizard's hat.

That's only because averaging Bombadil out with Gandalf is a significant debuff to the former :P

I've got a big bowl of steaming-hot ramen and eggs, a nearly-full bottle of wine that won't remain that way for long, and a weekend full of awesome things that need to be done ahead of me. Let's fuckin' do this.

Writing RPG rules while drunk has never ended badly, right? I mean look at Time Wizards!

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

o, it's only like that if Gandalf already died. Hobbit/Book 1 Gandalf is best gandalf, on par with Tolkienombadil.

I misread that as Tolkienmobile.

Lies.

Man was meant to have short hair.

Unless said man is a Bay12er. Then they get the retro-Dwarven look :P
