The later printings from 1995 onwards added a bunch of new illustrations, including this one; while most of the class illustrations looked ridiculous (almost every one has a gigantic handlebar mustache!), this and the bard always stood out to me for some reason.Fuzzy Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606454596061907461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-82037225788531774692015-11-07T19:02:18.414-08:002015-11-07T19:02:18.414-08:00@ Sean:

I don't remember this one being in my 2E PHB. <br /><br />'Course I DID sell that book some years ago...<br /><br />As for the props...it's just flavor text, man. If they DO carry wands or whatnot, even magical ones, they're certainly no better than props, seeing as how illusionists can't work 'em.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263662621289630246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-47786069550112161232015-11-07T15:12:08.927-08:002015-11-07T15:12:08.927-08:00Like this take on the Illusionist!

Based on the description, I'd assume that any wands or staves they did carry would be just props, correct?<br /><br />Also, props for using the 2e depiction of the class; brings me back to the first time I flipped through that Player's Handbook, gazing in wonder at the illustrations.Fuzzy Skinnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10606454596061907461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4143435314932633148.post-39899384887186103872015-11-07T14:24:21.467-08:002015-11-07T14:24:21.467-08:00Wait...pick pockets covers sleight of hand?
