Question for the masses:
For a mage what's better elf or lizard:
One hand we get sacrifice for +1AP and +20% Damage
Other hand we can have +2 INT and Fire breath cone
Now consider for a moment a fire specialized mage.
With the lizard you're getting stat bonuses and a free cone spell that does good damage
With the elf your getting free 1AP and some extra damage
Seems to me though that the stat bonuses from focusing INT make the initial +2 mitigate the damage from the elf somewhat and the free AoE spell doing good damage is much more important than adding damage to all my other spells. More spells > slightly bigger numbers is how it looks me.
