So having a good BAB was not that important.Contrasting that point to this change, we have a wizard who has an 18 INT whose powers all go off of that. The wizard starts with 3 encounter powers and a daily picks up a utility power at 2nd and continues adding powers. The wizard is not limited to what a 5th level 3e wizard can do in a day - he can do way more! This is advantage 4e.This rather eloquently illustrates how the 4e wizard is underpowered. As far as I am concerned they were already underpowered. So, adding anything to them to boost them up is almost a non-issue in this context. Adding something to spellbook class feature to recharge spells or giving them a bonus damage die to all of their spells both seem like good ways to go.</blockquote>
