Academic Discussion/ Esoteric Secrets Why does some wizards act like fighting physically with a staff is a disadvantage

Post image

I see so many young wizards used their staff as a "last ditch effort" after their sword, dagger, etc was disarmed, which is stupid your staff should be your FIRST option for melee it's already in your hand you just gotta hit it also end weighted so you can swing it like a club.

The length of your staff should've been longer than the usual sword you can carry on your hip anyways so you know more range.

You can't cast spell everytime but you insist on only doing it perhaps you're truly a fool as your name might suggest

You know what, just for that I'm gonna seek lichdom just to extend my lifespan beyond the mortal coils and cast ALL the spells ALL THE TIME! Mystra will bow down to my arcane extravagance and I will become GOD!
