To answer the question- yes
Eerkal the reciter
ST-9
DX- 15
IQ- 9
Talent- Literacy Spells- Blur, Detect Magic, Drop Wea., Image, Light, Slow Move, MagicFist, Aid,
Eerkal is a bookish mage with a geas like obsession to memorize every adventuring spell available starting with the basics. He is on a life long quest to methodically commit to memory each spell listed, in order, starting at IQ 8. He dreams of the day when he can have instant access to just the right spell for any situation and becomes a beloved indispensable asset to all the great powerful heroes he worships. He decided the staff spells and other such weapon enchantment type spells only take up valuable memory and do not help in his quest of party inclusion.
I definately lean towards roleplay as opposed to "optimal damage" game builder. Eerkal is the - always picked last for games and trivia spouting oddball type. As you can see not played much but honestly having the breadth of choices he seems to be far more capable than first thought. Allot of toons have image or staff but when was the last time someone made the attacking orc lord drop his battle axe instead of trying to defend with his staff?
