YASD: Cpt Indecision - The Red Draconian Conjurer of Vehumet
I've held off on picking a school, hoping to come across a reasonable book with fire spells in it but nothing has come up and I'm in Lair so that means I need to rely on something a little heavier than Magic Dart. I'm still toying with what skills to train (Spellcasting to bring down the hunger for Throw Icicle? Ice Magic for Freezing Cloud? Dodging for defense? Staves/Evo to trigger the staff? Advice welcome) as well as general advice on how to continue with this caster. Did I make the right decision picking Ice Magic? If I come across something like the Book of Fire or Book of Flames should I switch to Fire Magic if I haven't put any more exp into Ice Magic at that point? Overcoming only 5.4 levels of anti-training doesn't seem too bad at all.
Also, Fire Breath is stupidly powerful with it's Conjure Flame effect.
