Default Re: New Staff to-hit roll using IQ! (serious balance problem, no?)

Of course, casting spells based on DX will still be a problem - they'll have better odds of hitting someone with a stick than of casting spells. Which is odd, given that they are a Wizard.

I can see it now - armies of heavily armored wizards all lined up to beat on things with their sticks, while the non-wizards learn basic spells like aid, blur and clumsiness to buff them and bane their foes.

Ok. Good (and amusing) point. It is balance changing.
