Yeah, it's a shame. Right as I found out about Magic Aura. I was like "JACKPOT!" Then, "Wah-wah-wahhhh."
I considered getting rid of scribe scroll, but some downtime created scrolls of Magic Aura would save me losing two spell slots a day hiding my haversack and headband of intellect.
As to the character, he's so specialized for the game I doubt he'd do well anywhere else. Maybe there will be an opening later, but I'm kind of mad about how the ad said there was a week left, the DM said there was a couple days left, and then that same day the people were picked.
Anyway, I've got other games to play, and I can wait to satisfy my D&D crunch craving.
