That sucks, I thought Rogue would have better magic skills.  Better
all round skills, actually.  My lvl 29 Warrior is boring me cause he
can't read any more books even with his two +30 magic rings, +28
amulet, +25 dagger and +20 armor.  The fact I have to carry all this
around with me in case I run into a book is bad enough.

I wouldn't complain that a Warrior can't cast much magic, except that
in the later levels, there are bundles of creatures that you can't get
close to before they've shot you to death with their magic, spit etc.

I thought a Rogue was an all-round character, but all she can do is
shoot a bow fast, and swing a sword like an old man.  You're too
restricted with each character you pick, you should be able to extend
their abilities the way you see fit, instead of being so limited.  And
the Mage has a way too big an advantage all the other characters once
he gets past lvl 30 or so.  I mean, how does a Mage suffer with a
limit of STR?  Warrior's suffer badly with the 50 limit on MAGIC.
