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...
So if you are making something overpowered and impacting your own fun by putting points into something.. why are you doing it? Easy enough to just put the points somewhere else if it's more fun surely?
