Okay I have to admit that I am also guilty of twinking my mage character
with my bard who was level 16 when I started her. At level 1 she was
given a few pieces of cloth and couple plat to start things off. At level
4 she received some more plat and had a full set of cloth and a Giant
Snake Fang. Nothing else since then. All in all a minimal amount of
twinking. Besides I would be pretty upset with myself if she started with
robe of the oracle, staff of writhing, savant cap and dusty bloodstained
gloves. Hmmm... I saw these on a level 15 cleric in Unrest a few days
ago. Man by twinking that much you fail to learn the qualities of your
class. I know that I haven't even figure out half the tricks and tactics
for my mage. By twinking I have been as bad as that bard you mentioned.
