I always thought that D&D MUs were allowed to use the quarterstaff, dagger sling and maybe darts. At least that is how I ran in the past. (Thank you Geoffrey McKinney for showing me a better way!)

I always found if funny with how Magic-Users are unable to use larger weapons or armor. Yeah, I understand that they are out-of-shape scholars -- it would be like bring a Scientist on a Commando raid, if you think about it. And yeah, I get that "armor interferes with spellcasting". But why not swords? After all, this guy sports one:
No what! As a Wizard, he can conjure up a better weapon:
"Now this is what I call a 'slug-thrower'!" *click-clack*
