paul cut through the ice around his leg instead of his leg saying "ha don't you remember the rules sword users beat spell casters. if you don't believe me check the rules."<br/><br/>(seriously the first page states the following.Sword Mastery: You use pure strength on your weapons. If you're strong you're able to use many kind of weapons. Your pure strength is able to deflect the spellcaster's spells, but someone using Self-Defense will counter you. Allowed weapons: Sword, Shield, Axe, Hammer, Whip, Chain, Web, Spear.<br/><br/>Self-Defense: Your speed and reflex are powerfull enough to counter physicals attacks. Someone strong in Self-Defense can even use his speed to give the first hit, but it's totally useless to try to counter a spell when you're unarmed. (Have you already try to catch a fireball? ^^")<br/><br/>Spellcasting: Your spirit allow you to cast some great spells. Someone strong in spellcasting will be able to learn more spells with different effects (like shrinking, by exemple). Your spells will not be really effectives on Sword Masters, but a Self-Defense user is an easy target. Allowed spells during a fight: Fire, Ice, Thunder, Ground, Light, Darkness, Non-elemental. Not allowed in fight: Altering body (Shrinking, by exemple)<br/>)
