[QUOTE="Aloïsius, post: 6346282, member: 1191"] Or you could forget about being both a bad fighter and a mediocre wizard, and play either a real fighter or a good wizard. I mean, a dwarf wizard has a low speed : he lacks the mobility required to cast his spell out of danger. So, he wears heavy armor to compensate somewhat. That won't protect him from grappling monsters or nat 20 anyway, while being 10 foot away behind the real fighter (or barbarian/paladin, whatever meat shield is protecting you) would. Note that I'm absolutely OK with someone playing a dwarf spellcaster, even a dwarf wizard, for any roleplaying reason one can find. But playing it because it's the "superior" option ? Maybe in a solo or duo party group. In a classical four to five members party, chances are that the other players will complain about the wizard not doing his job. When you wield a warhammer, you don't cast spells. [/QUOTE]
