I read a similar question somewhere else... I think on Boardgamegeek.com, the conclusion was that the numbers on the board are not a cap.

Ring of Beasts: "Once per round, this Mage may pay 1 less mana when he casts an animal creature spell.

reading the sidebar for Spawnpoints in the rule book, it looks like, technically speaking, it is the spawnpoint that is casting the creature, not the Mage.  So you can't take advantage of the discount when using the spawnpoint correct?

mmmm, pasta!   must be lunch time

So this is a thread for people to share, discuss and or argue (in a civil manner) our favorite creature spells and why.

I'll start,

I'm a fan of the Emerald Tegu!

compared to the Timber Wolf it has 2 less life and 1 less attack, but with 1 extra armor and a roughly 42% chance to cause rot I'd still take it.

In a Beastmaster build, they make great pets, boosting it to 4 attack 4 armor and 12 life, throw some Eagle Wings on it and you have a friggin' dragon!

with the exception of Rhino Hide, it is a good choice for just about any attribute boosting or trait adding enchantment (it's got enough armor). But Regrowth, Cheetah Speed, Bull Endurance, Bear Strength are all good choices... or you could go crazy and give it Vampirism  :evil:

So, big or small, what are your favorite creatures?

I'm for a second core spell tome too, if retailers want to sell singles they can break up the two spell tomes and have copies of everything.

I didn't think you were.

and you were correct about Jinx refunding the casters mana, an oversight on my part saying it was a moot point.

hopefully all questions have been explained by shadows detailed breakdown.

as long as they don't have the same name and don't take up the same equipment slot, then you can have two wands equipped at the same time.  you could have Mage Wand and Elemental Wand both equipped at the same time (because both wands can be in either your weapon slot or your shield slot)

that's the definition of good Karma
