Me too but yesterday I started noticing that occasionally his legs give out ... not sure what that means.

The beginning backstory was hard! I didn't know who to trust! I ended up just being brutally honest with everyone and now my character's kind of a Vulcan in my head.

What have you read about mage strategy? Any wisdom to impart? I feel like I'm floundering in the dark. I keep getting TPKed and then going back to the same fight and having no trouble with it without doing anything really that different. My DnD wisdom is not helping me pick skills and spells either.
