There are two fixes I can think of.First, you might want to use more divinations and defensive spells to ascertain exactly where, when and why you'll come into conflict, and then prepare for that circumstance by casting globes of invulnerability, readied counterspells, elemental resistances etc just before the battle. If everyone starts playing defensively, then battles will probably get a little longer.Second, the limitation of spellcasters is their limited resource of spells per day. Sure, a mage against an army is not a fair fight for the army. But put the same mage and the same army into a vast catacomb of 10'-wide tunnels, and suddenly it's not so easy. Fireball is actively dangerous to yourself, lightning bolt won't take out many enemies at once, and harm on a level 5 soldier is a waste. Basically, large numbers of low-level opponents are where the fighters really shine. Oh, and I'd be careful about attacking the tarrasque with only spellcasters.</blockquote>
