Roar, quite a bit tougher fight than I thought.

Considering that a Sorceror who qualifies for Archmage is 14th at barest minimum (requires 7th level spells), you knew your opponenet would have time to prepare (just as you did), and that half the hints on optimizing your character came from the one making the opposition, you thought it would be easy?
Granted, I didn't optimize her much - re-rolled random Sorcerors with a nifty online utility until I got something that had 7th level spells available, then tweaked the spell list and feats list until she qualified, and made certain she had two specific spells after that (Spell Turning and Protection from Energy), and she never did take advantage of Empower.....

Still, no big deal, as fortunately I'm not the only one able to reverse petrification. She had 5 levels left in turning? Hmm, that's odd. Oh well... Nice that she didn't kill me outright.

Rolled a 3 on the d4, and ended up with 9 levels; the only spell that hit her was your Quickened Enervation, which was a 4th level spell taking up an 8th level slot. Odd choice for an opening move, though; I was actually expecting something in a flavor of Save-Or-Die.....

Made a note of the XP cost, now I'm just faced with the daunting task of updating the charsheet. Come to think of it, I should probably re-organise the openRPG spell list so that it's actually in order of spell level, rather than when I added it... it's getting hard to find stuff.

That happens, yes.... you might also consider making a "master" copy that has all your spells in it, and "standard lists" that have your normal preparation schemes all statted in.

Redundant copies were actually my next plan of ensuring spell preparationness. Would these Archmages be able to keep a copy secure? I'm sure they're used to that sort of thing.

Hmm... interesting question. But tell me - if you lose your spellbook, how are you planning to get back to the Archmage's Tower in sufficiently short order? A suggestion might be to put an Instant Summons on a second Blessed Book, which you then bury somewhere.... although it's another 1000 gp saphire burned each time you recall it to update it....

Edit: Am I the only one who votes on the Roleplaying thing? I can't decide this time, so someone else will have to cast the deciding vote.

It would appear so... although I do get to cast the deciding vote when it comes to a tie.....
