[b38] Paradox Mage falls to the mighty wizards

Alas, Urshkar the Warper, my chosen hero, has perished (again...8 times). He was looking grand, he was looking spectacular, and he had 0 deaths until the final fight. And then he got smoked. Such is life in ToME, eh?

Paradox was just built up too much. It would seem time was a major issue for my mage, and he just could not keep the onslaught up long enough without clocking in above 10% failure. I would soon get 3 or more failures in a row.

Though by no means a truly impressive character, the build and my tactics led to the steamrolling of the entire game up until that point. I'd have to say were I to do it again, I would pump up willpower a LOT more, grab the Rune of the Rift for sure, and definitely max out Cease to Exist. Other than that I'm satisfied with the character, he dished out damage fast and he shut down everything except for the final foes.

Even in death, well done !

Quite the irony for a chronomancer isnt it ? ;)

I assure you, any puns are accidental! :D

As a side note, let me extend major thanks to edge; the class is just fabulous. I'm hard pressed to find classes in the game you can build as many different ways as the Paradox Mage. The class is fun without being overpowered, has absolutely LOVELY synergies, and did I mention it's fun? Great class, I can see myself making a future winner with one.
