It isn't what magic you know, but what magic you can manage to cast under combat conditions! 
But cler RQers can be nasty. In RQ2 a lost limb was worth a point or two of Countermagic or Invisiblity. Once I saw a Storm Bull chop the weapon arm off of a big bad Broo that was loaded with chaoitc features, then cast Beserker on it so it couldn't heal itself.  |
Thats the reason why I dont like the magic system of RQ anymore. It feels too technical and thus can be easily exploited by rule mongers. Nowadays I prefer much more the magic systems of SB1 or SB5.
