Hmmmm. But I think there is a whole game balance thing here. If you get attacked by something that is purely magical then fine, if you don't have a good magical defence your stuffed, but then I think you stop Hedkorathi tossing their thunderstones and just start running up to hit people with a sword because their better at that and the other guy resists with Sword and shield whatever you do. Or start a hailstorm, but Hedkoranth signature is the thunderstone.

i guess I want to play in a game where thunderstones and lightning is thrown about, Orlanthi fly around, Lunars blast you with evil red magic and so on.

I guess I will just get worse when I go and see the Jet Li film Hero.
