Gang:
Wizards are my favorite class. But I've often wondered if they are not too powerful. At upper levels, they can (litterally) do anything, far beyond the abilities of other classes. Even before that, limited wish makes them near unstopable - compared to others classes of the same level.
I've wondered if the game would be better served if straight wizards were relegated to NPC status - the kings advisor who gives the heroes the backing they need for the quest, the powerful arch villian scheming in his (almost) unasailble tower. Any other arcane spellcasting class would be open to PCs - sorcerers, magistars, (maybe even specialist wizards),etc.
But pure, unlimited wizards used by the DM only, forcing the PC's to use more flavorful varients.
Just a thought.
