Or come to Legends of Karinth where your strategy / wield is entirely up to you. Want to be a bow-wielding mage? Great. Train what you want - try it out - erase what you trained, and get back the hours to try something else.

We have archetypes for those who want to specialize on a path without devising their own approach, but those don't restrict someone from training whatever else they want, at any time they have the training hours to do so.

Also, mages (and anyone else) - you scribe your own spells. Learn the spellcraft, scribe what you want, forget spells you decide you don't need. No canned spells.

Oh, and no game-required eating and drinking. You decide if you're hungry and thirsty, and eat and drink when YOU want to, not when some code tells you that you have to.
