think you can only poison "bladed" weapons like swords and spears (??).
inscription + magery = magic reflect (meaning, they cast para at you and it bounces back to the caster. meaning: you won't get hit by their para.
I just had to correct this and add some of my own advice.
You can poison one handed, bladed weapons. Here is a list:
Swords
Katana
Broadsword
Longsword
Scimitar
Cutlass
Viking Sword
Fencing
Kryss
Warfork
I believe that is all, although I may have missed one of the less common ones. No maces can be poisoned, even War Axes.
As far a Inscription, on this server it increases the effect of your Magic Reflect and Reactive Armor spells. It does not make you endlessly reflect paralize. It just increases the 'circles' they need to cast on you before it disolves your reflect spell from 8 to 15. Each spell in your spellbook has a circle, or level. With 0 inscription you have 8 'circles' of reflect, meaning you could reflect say, and Energy Bolt (6th Circle) and Harm (2nd Circle) before your spell disolved. With GM Inscription, it takes 15 'circles' worth of spells to disolve your spell.
As far as templates, I use the following:
Anatomy
Healing
Magic Resist
Magery
Weapon Skill (fencing at the moment)
Tactics
Meditation
My stats are:
100 STR
75 DEX
50 INT
Against mages, I do well, or will when this character is done. Have used the same template for years. You can outheal most everything they do between bandages, potions, and magic. Use magery for interrupts and para if you need it. The stats throw some people off, but you'll find that most of the time mages are running around trying to cast, so 100 dex isn't needed. I hit plenty fast with a Kryss or Katana (if swords) to disrupt, and 75 dex refreshes my swing timer quick enough when hitting with a slower two handed weapon and chasing them around. You will only really get a hit in when they stop to try and cast anyways.
It's a bit less effective vs other warriors, however you can still heal some with magery, and keep them poisoned. You just need to be very carefull when you try to cast that they don't hit you. You have 0 wrestling so they won't miss you if you try to cast near them.
Once someone gets the hang of playing a "Med-Warrior", they usually do really well. If you have any more questions, let me know.
