Just wanted to tell everyone that the OP is correct about mages being op.
People in this topic are only seeing the normal OP build. which is exactly why they are saying a mage isn't OP...They're basing what they say OP is off of the normal mage build which uses saving throws and crap. Putting points into areas of a mage like saving throws and crap will reduces how OP the mage can get. Putting a point into willpower instead of another school of magic has a major impact on how OP a mage is...
Rogue (meaning out of the ordinary) Builds are so OP it's not even funny.
If people created rogue builds they would see just exactly what they're missing.
