I don't really feel this one was that silly. I mean I wasn't quite at 100% health having just fought off a player ghost, but Josef blasting me for just over 2/3 of my max health in one spell (which would do a lot of poison damage afterwards)...it just seems like the deck is stacked against casters. I realize deep elves aren't exactly known for their high health, but ouch. Maybe I'm just spoiled by deep dwarf berserkers. I don't really see a race that has both high spell aptitudes as well as high health...
On an unrelated note, what's the generic caster weapon? I used staff just because De's have 0 apt and I figured I might one day use an enhancer, but it's hard to mix that with a shield. Should I take whips or short blades instead?
