Marvel Magic Case Files.

Chapter 34 will be explained briefly here.

Salomon's fighting style is far too orthodox. In D&D, mages are not as glamorous as people imagine when they are low-level. They don't have many spells, and when they get to the end, they have to fight with sticks and crossbows. Even if they can hit the spells, the damage is not as high as that of bows, crossbows and sticks. Moreover, they have to take the hits. Even monsters of the same level can easily kill the caster.

Since the Stigmata buffs agility and strength, the combat style I referenced was Monk + Sorcerer (Vishanti spells, Celestial Lord) + Mage (D&D spells). If you get a card, that's how you fight too.

That's why it's so tragic, that's why the fights are so difficult. A vampire's agility is 18; the protagonist wouldn't waste a spell that might miss, wouldn't it be better to use it on himself?

Darkvision is essential for seeing your surroundings. Shadow Step is a spell used for chasing and escaping; it's optional, but I used it to prevent knockbacks from going too far.

The mage armor increases base AC to 13 plus its agility modifier, which is also beneficial against physical attacks (blunt).

Protect yourself from good and evil, fight against undead creatures, and avoid being possessed by ghosts and fear.

Almost all spells are targeted; even if you let Karthus with 19 Strength encounter a vampire at a low level, the fight would likely go the same way. This was true even during the Netheril era when there were no spell slots.

Those mages who can effortlessly manipulate enemies are legendary figures, not what we live for now. Lower-level mages should cherish their spell slots and use their spells wisely. Don't believe in the Blademaster's ability to one-shot vampires; they haven't even appeared on the magic side yet, and it's just minor trouble.

Next, let me explain Barnabas's uniqueness—I set him up as a vampire transformed by a curse from the Dark Book. There's only one such vampire in the Marvel universe, who, wanting to die, gave his power to Dracula and then died in the sun. Dracula, however, is immortal; even death can't touch him. This gives you an idea of ​​Barnabas's immense power.

He's only 200+ years old now, so he's still too young.

Therefore, I increased Barnabas's HP recovery from 20 to 30, making him much harder to defeat, while Victoria's is 25. Each vampire attack consists of two parts: Barnabas uses a bare-handed strike followed by a bite, while Victoria uses a blunt strike followed by a bite.

It perfectly complies with the rules, and I'm going to roll the dice again. So there's no need to roll; I've already greatly enhanced the protagonist's abilities. If I had written it as a typical mage, he would be dead by now.

Then, don't assume mages are robots, cold and ruthless, detached from all emotions, with only arcane magic in their hearts. How would Elminster survive if he were like that? He even plays with mother and daughter flowers. And don't assume mages always act with precision. What about Manson, the leader of the Zantarins? He created over eighty versions of himself!

Mages aren't turrets; they're crowd control classes. Turrets are warlocks and spellcasters. A mage's true strength lies in casting the right spell in the right situation, not in who can throw the biggest fireball. Please don't use secondary interpretations from other works to define mages, okay? A mage is just a class.
