The SendingStone review

The Mage is a versatile and engaging option for players looking to add magic to their gameplay. With a reasonable Armor Class and solid hit points, it can hold its own in battle, while its high Intelligence and wide range of language skills make it a valuable asset in diplomatic encounters. However, its low Charisma and Constitution scores may hinder its effectiveness in certain situations. Overall, the Mage offers a balanced combination of combat and non-combat abilities that can make it a valuable addition to any party.
