Despite its sheer awesomeness, I have never cast mass madness with any character in any Geneforge game, because you can always find more than enough madness gems for those situations. -------------------- "We were meant to live for so much more.

Daze/strong daze works great when you only have your character and no creations. The more creations you have, the less need for mental magic. I used mass madness a lot in the end since even when you don't charm, the daze and slowing effects are nice. Area effect spells are great when you have a low dexterity lifecrafter that can't hit with a single target spell. Posts: 4643 | Registered: Friday, February 10 2006 08:00
