Chapter 34 Here is a little explanation

Salomon's fighting style is too orthodox. DND's mages are as beautiful as everyone imagined when they were low-level. It is not as high as a crossbow or stick, and it has to eat attacks. Even monsters of the same level can easily kill the caster.

Since the stigmata bless agility and strength, the fighting method I refer to is monk + warlock (Weishandi spell, celestial suzerain) + mage (DND spell).

It's just so miserable, and it's because the writing is too upright that it's so difficult. The agility of the vampire is 18. The protagonist can't use a spell that might miss to attack. Isn't it good to bless yourself?

Darkvision allows you to see the environment and must be used. Lost steps, spells for chasing and escaping, can be used or not. In order to prevent the knocking distance from being too far, it is also used.

Mage armor, with base AC changed to 13 + its Dexterity modifier, which also benefits against physical attacks (bludgeoning).

Protect from good and evil, fight against the undead, avoid being possessed by ghosts and fear.

Almost all spells are targeted. If you let Karthus, who has a strength of 19, encounter a vampire at a low level, he might fight like this. The same goes for the problem of not having spell slots even during Netheril.

The kind of high-ranking mage who can easily play with the enemy and applaud is legendary level, not now, cherishing spell slots, and using your spells where they should be used is what low-level mages should do. Don't believe in vampires like Blade Warrior, who don't show up on the magic side, it's just a small fight.

Then talk about the particularity of Barnabas - I set it to be transformed into a vampire because of the curse of the Dark God Book. And there is one and only one vampire like that in Marvel. The vampire didn't want to live anymore. He gave his power to Dracula and died in the sun. And Dracula is immortal, even death can't help him, so you can know how high Barnabas is.

It's just that now he is only 200+ years old, which is still too young.

So I increased the HP regeneration of Barnabas regeneration ability from 20 to 30, which is already hard to hit, and Victoria's 25. Each vampire's attack is two, Barnabas is an unarmed strike and a bite, Victoria is a blunt blow and a bite.

Incomparably in line with the rules, I have to roll the dice. So you don’t need to use the bar, it’s not necessary, I’ve greatly strengthened the protagonist’s ability, if it’s really written like an ordinary mage, it’s dead now.

Then, don't think that the mage is a robot, indifferent, ecstatic, and only has arcane in his heart. How can Elminster live like this, and they still play mother and daughter Tweed. Don't think that the mage's behavior has always been precise. Where do you put Manson, the leader of the Zhentarim, in this way? They have created more than eighty themselves.

A mage is not a turret, but a field-controlling profession. A turret is a warlock and a kineticist. The true power of a mage lies in being able to cast the right spell on the right occasion, not who has the bigger fireball. Don't use the second setting of other works to define the mage, okay? Mage is just a profession.
