[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 5904866, member: 18333"] I totally agree. People need to stop whining about how a wizard, if prepared, can do something that a rogue (or any other class for that matter) can do. In a world where there is magic, magic users would first and foremost develop spells that function as utility spells for adventuring. Think about it. Adventuring is how "adventurers" make a living. If I were an adventurer mage, and I could spend time researching spells, I'd make sure I could open doors, become invisible, move quietly if necessary, summon a monster to fight for me, or charm creatures so that I could escape. Even if I hired a bunch of professionals (a rogue, a fighter, a bard, etc), I'd still want to make sure if I had to, I could do any of the above spells. Casting it once or even twice per day does not take anything away from anyone else. And, in most parties, if I were a mage and I knew that the rogue in the party could handle the locks, I wouldn't even bother preparing a "knock" spell. I wouldn't waste resources to trump a party member. If Wizards were so dang unbalanced because they could cast spells that achieved results reserved for other classes, then everyone would have played a wizard in od&d, 1e, 2e and 3e. That wasn't the case. Some people just like the idea of using magic. Some like the idea that they can achieve results from physical feats or sweat. [/QUOTE]
