The Problem of strong Mages
mages are very strong. They kill warriors and archers within one or two shots from long distance. This is because warriors and archers have usually no stats on int, so they have low magic defense.
reasons for this: warrior/archer need at least two skills:
dexterity for hitting target agility for not getting hit vitality for surviving a little longer luck for crits.
mages just need int. So mages can easily max out their needed stats. So here is the proposal: mages need more different stats:
war magic: str + int astral: luck + int life: vit + int nature: agi + int transmution: dex + int
