Hall of Distinction for Famous Wizards

Harry Dresdenharry-dresden  Famous Wizards of Distinction | The Backgrounds and Spells of Magic Users – “a special Halloween tribute to the birthday boy himself, Harry, a wizard of the White Council. For those of you who have never read The Dresden Files, don’t panic.  I barely discuss anything from the first book so no worries, no spoilers.”

Bigby – “When I said Bigby was not the kind of guy to get his own hands dirty- I meant his physical hands. From force hands and ballista bolts to complex force engines of destruction, Bigby knows his way around forces.”

Drawmij – “Many of Drawmij’s choices and spells point to a man who has done a lot of adventuring and is still alive because when he gets into a tight spot he has the spells and know how to get himself removed from said spot while still breathing.”

Tenser – “While his attitude is of a Lawful Good extremist his spells speak of a man more of the Lawful Badass variety. Like a one man biker gang for Goodness and Truth, Tenser’s spells are mostly built towards spotting evil doers, chasing them , and then beating them down – one man army style.”

Otiluke – “He reminds me of the mad scientist archetype. A spatially minded siege alchemist of sorts who’s wisdom score reflects a child like level of understanding of consequences.”

Leomund – “While many people see wizards as the class of blasting and explosions they can also be a class that provides a lot of support, outside of the battlefield, by way of making an adventure’s life a bit easier. Leomund ‘s spells reflect a magic user interested in the latter.”

I would say my manner, skill sets, and subject knowledge are incongruous but they all seem to find a home under the umbrella term of nerd. I have a passion for studying science, religion, art, games, crafting, wine/beer-crafting, sustainable living, and green chemistry. I really enjoy gaming with friends and writing about my experiences as a nerd.
