Re: Moving spell casters

[Wright Frazier <khelek@ns1.cioe.com>]

After reading and talkinga bout it, I agree, 1/5 movement flat is
the way to go for everything.  Just a flat 1/5 for multi, precise,
spell casting, etc...

I still think we need a move through attack ability however.  I personally
like dragons and like playing them, and like having them do the flyby
clawing on the unsuspecting victim.
