D&D anyone?
Alex C:
I love how it seemed that cursed items outnumber the beneficial ones under the most ancient rule sets, which was hilarious considering the sheer cost of creating a magical item. It always made me wonder who the hell made those things. Was there some crazy wizard out there who was thinking "Well, I have a few hundred hours and several hundred thousand gold to kill. Should I make something useful? Oh, no wait, I can instead create a magical jeweled Scarab that SEEMS helpful, but when you go to sleep at night it burrows through your pack in an attempt to chew its way through your chest cavity so it can devour your heart. Much better plan." Then again, being a magic user was pretty rough back in the day, so it does make a certain amount of sense that the guys who actually made it that far along would be reduced to bitter, conniving assholes by then.
kabukiman:
Well, a mage until level 5 should be call "the spoiled princess". He only served to suck the xp from the party, and forcing them to defend him, in dangerous situations.
Jace:
We have one guy in our roleplaying group who I guess, forgets to buy armor. He took two crossbow bolts to the chest and then got knocked out (he had to leave) in our exalted game. He plays the fighter in our D&D campaign, and he is nearly constantly at the bloodied state, the ranger and him always yell for me to heal him, and I let them know that "everybody gets one" since I only have the ability to heal twice. (I'm a goddamn battle cleric, I don't heal shit)
Alex C:
Spoiled princess seems rather harsh considering that playing a low level mage is one of the top two or three least entertaining experiences in RPG history. You spend considerable amounts of time being a lucky kobold away from death and making roughly two contributions to the group per session.

That can also be DM dependent. Prestigiditation imo. =] Useful out of combat spell.
