Wouldn't it make sense if they had miminum requirements for int and wis to let people in? They are the scolars of FL after all.
Locked Savant
Or they could just not allow giants? (Pretty much the same thing.)
Or why not ban elves and drow from Warmaster (I know, bad reference because giant clerics rule and elf melees suck) because they're too smart? It's not about the intelligence and wisdom stats, it's more like real brains where you put in more work you get more out. Giant clerics work harder than giant melees, go play a fire giant warrior directly followed by a fire cleric and you'll see what I mean. If such a dimwitted creature can work hard enough to be allowed into the cleric's guild, then they can work hard enough in the halls of savant as well.
yeah but arent elves and drow mystical by nature?

Not sure they're considered to be in FL... faeries generally are, though.
The differacne between a giant as a cleric and a savant giant is that the cleric sÃmply prays to their god. Quite the simple task.
Allowing stupid giants into savant makes about as much sense to me as allowing them to become invokers.
Fire giant invoker. Mmmmm
... and I thought this post was about me, by the title.
Ah, thanks for reminding me. The actuall suggestion was that you should be perma-banned from both forum and mud 
Wait, I just derailed my own thread 
but then who will flame your posts and condie your characters?
NewGuy, better change your password, Savnt is condieing all your chars.
Firegiants would make incredibly bad invokers. Imagine trying to manacharge, or even trying to charge a staff!
Imagine a giant psion...
I don't say they would be good vokers. But from a RP point of view, would they be smart enough to use spells?
And about savant, them letting in fire giants, the most stupid race in the whole game, seems to me like letting monkeys into M.I.T. They just don't fit in there.
magic doesn't always equal intelligence and certainly religion/faith do not.
Herald is the cabal that is trying to gather/preserve knowledge. Savant is just trying to accomplish some obscure dominating goal...anyone who is able to manipulate the world in supernatural ways should be able to help. Savant has some really inconsistent rp/reasonings as to why they do things, so think of it more as a whim of the designer. I actually see Savant more like the manhattan project rather than some university.
I think a fire giant psi would be a lot better than an invoker because psi has some melee potential.
edit: Somebody needs to write out the Savant manifesto, so we can finally know why they do what they do, and why they allow some magic classes, but not others..same with communers..

IB4M did a Storm Invoker on Halloween Madness '01 I think? He had a lot of fun and took down some serious mobs if I remember correctly.
Any race/class combo can be good on halloween madness. You don't have to practice anything, automatic 80% prof. So you can load all your trains into one stat, his was probably mana.

Thanks for clearing that up for me there champ.
From the helpfiles they seem like a bunch of bookworms to me. It is also clearly stated that they are scholars with "vast pools of knowledge". A stupid scholar? A fire giant with a vast pool of knowledge? Sounds odd to me...
Herald are more history-keepers than scholars.
Savant manifesto hrm... Well the secr... NO you can never know my goals!!!!
